Thank you so much for being part of the Childrens Team from September!

who goes where?Morning : A reminder that all but a few children are staying with last years group. That

means that the groups are simply 'getting older' with them! Not too many changes beyondthat: simply Explorers and Groovers moving rooms:

Crche (for Babies & pre-Nursery School toddlers) in Main Hall Explorers (Nursery Year) :: in The Studio 'garden room' Gems (Reception & Y1) :: Stage Room Movers (Yrs 2 & 3) :: Small Hall Groovers (Yrs 4, 5, 6 & 7) :: The Underground

Afternoon : There's little changing here either, since Yr 6 have already moved up to TheUnderground, so the groups look like this - simply 'getting older' with their children:

Babies & toddlers - we plan an 'in church' crche area soon

Stars (Nursery to Y1) :: Stage Room Movers (Yrs 2 & 3) :: Small Hall Groovers (Yrs 4, 5 & 6) :: Main Hall Underground (Yrs 7+) :: Underground(!)

Were one week short of leaders in all but Underground, so the plan is toexperiment with combining Movers and Groovers (Stars are welcome too - letssee!) once a month in the Main Hall for an all-together praise and prayer time.

trainingWere planning three sets of training for childrens leaders in the coming year. The first is

this coming month. If youve not been to one of the introductory sessions, please aim to getto one this September - and theres an evening on First Aid and a training event on behaviourissues: something many of us feel we could do with some help on!

Fri 7th (9.30am) - Children's Leadership Introductory Session Thu 20th (8pm) - Children's Leadership Introductory Session Tue 25th (7pm) - St John's Ambulance First Aid (limited spaces) Wed 26th (8pm) - Managing Group Behaviour
