Over the past few weeks I have learned that correcting causes chaos.   The story is that 6 months ago we set out how we would do our summer program. Then about 6 weeks a go we started  having some incidents. We made a massive course correction and thought we had our bases covered. Well unfortunately I wound up losing about 3/4ths of the volunteers I had in the fall and  we had to make another shift last week.  So it has been chaotic to say the least

Ultimately though you have to do what is for the good of the minsitry. If you cant keep adult leaders you cant do something that requires  a lot of adult supervision. If you under staf and something goers wrong then you are irresponsible.  Paents will be mad and may stop coming but in the end the kids are safer and you are better for it. And your reputation doesn’t take as big a hit.

This week is a hectic one and next week will be one too. VBS begins next Monday and I am swamped this weekw ith prep. We have had two neighborhood Blitzes and looks like we will be doing some more at the end of the week. We have been doing work days getting props and scenery ready. We have about 1800 flyers that are going out and have had some good responses. We will see what is going to come of it next week I guess. Last year with no advertisement we had 80 kids so I expect great things this year.
