M.A.C. Update

Just a reminder to those who were in our MAC meeting Sunday morning...an update to those who were not able to be there. We discussed the difficulty of having good participation because of the "auditorium culture/atmosphere." We need and want good participation and conversation and most all seemed to agree that this would be easier if we switched to the fellowship hall.

Secondly, we desire to have our teachers involved as well, unless they just simply want to continue their classes and choose not to. To that end we are purchasing our license to be able to show movies in the auditorium. So all of the kids, at least those whose teacher will be in the MAC meeting, will meet in the auditorium.

Third, we agreed that this process is important and we don't want to be rushed, so we may in fact take longer than the normal class period for our discussion. For those teachers who may choose to continue their class, please be advised of this. If you desire to end your class at the normal time, then please escort the kids to the auditorium for supervision, then feel free to join us at that time.

Finally, I will try to add an agenda by tomorrow that will guide our discussion for this coming Sunday, so please check back for a look at what we will be discussing.

Blessings
Jack

Does anyone have an idea of what kind of movies we would like to show to the kids? We have a bunch of Disney/Pixar movies, but hopefully someone has christian themed movies that we can show. We also have quite a few Veggietale videos, but they are only 30 minutes each. We used to have several Feature Family Films, but they are all on VHS. The films that we show need to be on DVD so we can play them through the computer. Any input would be appreciated!

Here is the link to Feature Family Films. These videos are very family/Christian oriented and all come away with a lesson at the end.

I agree with Brett about a longer Sunday morning service, but I would still like to have a mid-week study service.

I like Jason's idea of an earlier start time for our mid-week service.

I also like Amy's idea about having a song worship service now and then with the idea of incorparating learning some new songs that maybe some of the younger people might enjoy.
