Our  house is busy ending the school year and getting ready for the Summer.  It seems  like 2007-2008 has just flown by!  How about you?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;I hope that you will be able to come to TUC  on Sunday.  We have a lot planned for your children this week. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Also, don’t forget about the  “&lt;b&gt;Helper Appreciation Lunch&lt;/b&gt;” this Sunday after church.  Immediately after the 11  am service we are going to have a real sit-down lunch in the Fellowship Hall.    Several volunteers are putting their efforts into preparing a great menu.  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;All of their hard work is to show our  appreciation for our volunteers.  Our children’s ministry at T.U.C. would not  exist but for the hard work of 15 to 20 volunteers EVERY SUNDAY!  These are the  hardworking moms, dads, brothers and sisters who spend time on Sunday working  with children. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Our volunteers are in the nursery helping  our paid staff with an extra pair of hands.  Our volunteers are helping out with  Worship Childcare by leading activities in a warm and loving environment.  Our  volunteers are making crafts before these events.  Our volunteers are leading  KCK for older children. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Mostly the volunteer work is very  rewarding.  (Kingdom work usually is!!) But sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming.   And sometimes it is hard to know if you are making progress with  these little minds.  So let me ask you to do me a favor this week.  Why not give  your volunteers some encouragement?  When you see a children’s ministry  volunteer this week, give him or her a warm word of encouragement and a pat on  the shoulder. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;And come on Sunday to the lunch to show your  “aloha” for these hard-working volunteers.  Sunday lunch with friends,  fellowship and food!  Sounds like fun to me!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10.5pt;" lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2546464123018408957-6026163193937056626?l=tuc-children.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tuc-children.blogspot.com/feeds/6026163193937056626/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2546464123018408957&amp;postID=6026163193937056626' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2546464123018408957/posts/default/6026163193937056626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2546464123018408957/posts/default/6026163193937056626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tuc-children.blogspot.com/2008/06/2-4-6-8-who-do-we-appreciate.html' title='2-4-6-8  who do we appreciate?!'/><author><name>T.U.C.

How is your  week going?

In KCK this is the last Sunday covering “Peter in prison”.  The Angel  class will be talking about “Singing in jail”  &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Please consider volunteering for worship  childcare.  All the steps are planned for you and it is really easy to do!   Won’t you feel good knowing that you are sharing God’s heart in caring for  children?  If you have never tried this before, why not volunteer as an  assistant?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;See you on Sunday!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Aloha,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Manami&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2546464123018408957-2548391124675728967?l=tuc-children.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tuc-children.blogspot.com/feeds/2548391124675728967/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2546464123018408957&amp;postID=2548391124675728967' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2546464123018408957/posts/default/2548391124675728967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2546464123018408957/posts/default/2548391124675728967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tuc-children.blogspot.com/2008/05/mid-week-update.html' title='Mid week update'/><author><name>T.U.C.
