Midweek Highlights
August 13, 2008
New Website:
Centerpoint-church.com
(We still need a volunteer to help add content to the website as needed)
New communication tool:
We are looking into working with an online webtool to streamline information and
to have a way to email more efficiently. Iwantsandy.com offers us the ability to
be more organized by sending out reminders, collate emails and information.
Schedules, Schedules, and more Schedules…
Each branch of the church will be working on creating schedules. The children’s ministry has created a rotation schedule. Worship/Tech has the goal of creating
a schedule for singers, practice times, and sound/video tech. Hospitality is in discussion of creating a rotating schedule that would dovetail with the children’s ministry. Along with schedules, each group will be fine tuning their respective
SOP’s ( Standard Operating Procedures) and the goal is to have manuals for each group in the near future. Amy has already created a template
for the hospitality tables.
Suggested Idea: Utilizing the Total Money Makeover plan… when to begin???
Plans to advertise in the Spirit newspaper are underway.
Two week goal: Business Cards and to get the website up and running

Children’s Ministry:
We now have Alpha-Omega teams to help with the setup, transition, and breakdown of the children’s areas. Also, there will be a supper time for the
children at 5:30p. Children’s ministry is broken down into 3 age groups:
Nursery, Boz-Preschool, and Kidmo.
Tagging system. The current one under discussion will cost approx. $500.
As an interim measure a sticker system may be used.
Background checks for those working in the Children’s ministry and other
Leaders who will have contact with children. Background check will cost
$119 annually and for each individual background it will cost approximately
$7.
Only women will be changing diapers and escorting children to bathrooms.
The children’s ministry also handed out manuals for their program.

v Background checks and the tagging system are important in creating a secure environment for church members and visitors alike.
