Roster for March - including Easter   (General)
The current roster finishes up in 28 February. David and Ruth are also finishing up that day, in their roles. We will pull together a roster for the month of march.. up until and including Easter to set sunday mornings in train. Please contact ConneXion via the admin email (safest over the move period) to let us know if you do not want to be part of this roster. We will not move to the new idea proposed this time.. but it maybe decided by the new operations team to instigate that into the future. If I don't hear from you, I will slot you into the roster and you will then need to make a swap with someone else if you are unavailable on that day.

Important Kids LIVE meeting   (Children)
As has been communicated over the last couple of weeks we need teachers and helpers for Kids LIVE (our kids church for 3 year olds to year 6 at school). At present 2 people have come forward offering to assist for the last 3 weeks of term. In order for Kids LIVE to run during those weeks we need at least 5 (preferably 6) adult helpers - 3 teachers and 3 helpers.
If you have a love for God and children and would like to be involved in this important ministry within BBC (particularly the 3 weeks after Merry Beach) please come along to the next Kids LIVE meeting. Teaching resources will be provided. We are also still in need of a coordinator so please come along to the meeting if you feel you can contribute in this way.
The purpose of this meeting is for the current teachers and helpers to meet with people who would like to be involved in Kids LIVE in the future, and to discuss the future of Kids LIVE. We welcome any new suggestions and hope to get enough dedicated people to be able to run Kids LIVE for the remainder of the term. Details of the meeting are:
Date: Tuesday 2nd March
Location: Helen Morris’ house - 4 Hanretty Place, Bonython
Starting time: 7pm
If you can’t make the meeting, but are still keen to help out (especially for the 3 weeks following Merry Beach) please let Vanessa Luke know how you would like to be involved before the meeting and we can work something out. Her email is avluke2002@yahoo.com.au.

Also - a kitchen trolley, much like the one we once had at ConneXion, or something similar, to put our cups and kitchen supplies on.
