GO Sunday

Most of you know that I'm a substitute teacher, but how many of you know or remember that I'm also the missions coordinator at my church?!  I started my job back in February, and it's been a little crazy so far.  This Sunday is our first annual Missions, or GO, Sunday.

Some of the things I've done so far...
-ordered balloons
-bought picture frames
-returned picture frames
-bought more picture frames
-bought picture frame stands
-bought bright cardstock
-ordered prayer cards
-ordered prayer cards
-ordered prayer cards
-ordered more prayer cards
-arranged meetings
-attended meetings
-e-mailed many, many, many people
-printed pictures for the frames
-designed maps for the frames
-ordered books
-ordered kids' books
-ordered a suggestion box
-ordered squishy world globe balls
-ordered bookmarks
-printed support sheets
-printed instructions
-printed diagrams
-typed up innumerable documents
-used highliters
-talked to lots of people
-given written directions
-given verbal explanations of the written directions
-designated tasks
-etc.

I still need to...
-print prayer brochures
-figure out how to keep the frames on the frame stands
-receive, review, and suggest edits to a missions video
-create slides for Sunday
-write scripts for those of us speaking in church
-attend a few more meetings
-talk to our church ministry assistant about logistics
-receive all the prayer cards!
-buy a few tablecloths
-clear up confusion about Sunday morning responsibilities
-label the rest of the books
-make sure that certain announcements are included in the slides and the bulletin
-etc.

We only have six days to go, and hopefully the rest of my to do list will be finished by then!  Please pray that our church will get involved in supporting our missionaries through prayer and communication, that it won't rain on Sunday, and that it won't be windy!

Thanks to Rachel for designing all of our media!

Wow! You'll have a busy week. I'll pray that all gets done and goes well. Especially with those picture frames.
