Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Hello all, it is a beautiful, sunny yet cold weekend. The Cowboys are not playing the Cheeseheads today (12 years and counting with no playoff wins) but the Giants get to play in the frigid temps of Lambeau field on Sunday. That isn't important for Sunday but the next few items are important to those of us serving at AMPED.

AMPED Sunday Nights at NRH
We appreciate all the efforts and sacrifices each of you makes to be part of AMPED on a weekly basis. We wanted to share some housekeeping items about Sunday nights and some changes that will be rolling out over the next few weeks.
  • Sunday Night Pre-Service Leaders meeting-We apologize that this time (5:00pm to 5:25pm) has been so chaotic and hectic since we moved to NRH. To streamline and make this time more effective, we ask that all leaders ensure that they are in the Great Room (access is from the Chat Room it is also used as a classroom for the 5th graders on the weekends and for 8th grade girls during access groups) at 5:00pm sharp. We want to be able to share a word from the Lord with you and run through the night's activities. This meeting is more important than any other activities that we might have going on during that time if you are in the building.
  • Area Assignment and Rotation-We are working on a plan to rotate all leaders through the various areas of NRH so that you don't get bored with your current assignment, allow you to work in other areas on Sunday nights, and to ensure we have everyone where we need them to be so things run smoothly with the students on Sunday nights. This also applies to the VIP room...
  • VIP Room-We didn't really give a great explanation for the purpose of the VIP room and who should be in there. The VIP room is our way of welcoming our first time visitors and the friends that may have brought them to AMPED. They get to meet with Pastor Kam and Pastor Keith, get some food and a gift from us. We will have a team lead for this area (just like in other areas) and several people assigned to help with setup, running this area and takedown. Please understand that if you are not on the rotation list to be in VIP, we need you in your assigned area for the night.
We have a very busy few weeks ahead with Plug In next weekend. Thank you to all of you that have signed up to be leaders for this impactful weekend for students. We still need more help, email Brittney ASAP if you are available to lead in a host home.

Mark your calendars! Saturday February 9th we will be having our Access Group Leaders Training. The training is required for everyone that is a past, current or hopes to be an Access Group Leader. It will be held from 8:30am to 12:00p noon at the Gateway Church Administrative offices. Breakfast will be provided. Please come into the main office entrance and someone will be there to guide you to the training room. Please email if for some reason you will be unable to attend.

Love you guys, see you Sunday night!
