Great but busy weekend...

It's wonderful to come off of a busy but great weekend, and actually get some rest on a Monday, lol. Our church had a "Fireproof" Movie Night on Friday. We didn't actually get to see it since we were helping with the kids. Saturday I spent cleaning up the popcorn, thankful that so many people were blessed by the movie. On Sunday, we enjoyed a great kid's church service, challenging the kids to ask God what they should do for missions. We also had a meal out with friends after church at our new favorite restaurant, the Ballpark Restaurant in Street, MD.

This week I will be finishing up the final touches on our new church nurseries and preschool. It's time to choose floor coverings and order new equipment. I am very anxious to see the finished product...I know God will honor our effort and I can't wait to see our ministry grow.

I am looking forward to attending a Children's Ministry Conference in Red Lion, PA this coming Saturday. I will be taking 5 people from my CM team, and anticipate a great time of team building and learning. I can't wait to learn some new ideas, and also check out the digs at the host church.

Flexibility is good...

God calls us to be flexible, right? I feel like my flexibility is truly being tested this week. We have finally begun renovations to our church nurseries and lobby, which is a GREAT thing, but it has caused quite a domino effect in every area of our kids ministry. I have classrooms to switch over, lots of materials to go through, not to mention having the renovated areas ready for service this evening. I can't wait to see the finished rooms, however, I know we still have lots of work to do before we get there...

Thankfully our home life has been relatively quiet this week. We enjoyed Super Bowl Sunday at home, relaxing and enjoying munchies, and sadly watching Pittsburgh win. The kids have been somewhat cooperative with their schoolwork, but we are still behind in algebra and science. We will probably have to do a few Saturday science lab days in the next month or so to gain some ground. I certainly don't want to have to do science over the summer again.
