This Sunday's ministry spotlight is UPWARD basketball!
If you and/or your child were involved in UPWARD as a player or coach, plan to wear your UPWARD shirts to church this Sunday.
Sign ups for players are going on now at upwardintoledo.com
It is also a Kids In Church Sunday!
There are some general resources HERE and there will be more specific resources for this Sunday later.
Why do we do Kids in Church Sundays and UPWARD basketball?
We want to help families learn how to
WORSHIP TOGETHER FOR GOD'S GLORY with the church (Kids In Church). Check out other Kids in Church post on this blog. There a lot of helpful resources.
PLAYING SPORTS FOR GOD'S GLORY (UPWARD basketball)
We also realize that UPWARD has given us a great opportunity to reach out to the community.
To do this ministry well, we need a team of volunteers.
- prayer partners to pray for the different aspects of the game.
- evaluation helpers to help with various stations at least one of our three evaluations times (Wednesday, December 7; Saturday, December 10; Wednesday, December 14)
- coaches to work weekly with the children and families playing UPWARD January through March
- referees to work an hour or more during Saturday game days in February and March
- concession stand workers to work different shifts on Saturday game days in February and March
- game day hosts to help with meeting/greeting/directing parents and players on Saturday game days in February and March. Additional help could be used with announcements and clean up
- practice day hosts to help on either Monday or Wednesday night practice times. This would involve meeting/greeting/directing/connecting with parents and players during practice times.
