Looking Sharp

Hello Fantastic Family life Ministries Team!

Don't you love going into stores in the early morning? Everything is freshly stocked and all the labels are pointed in the same direction as if they prepared the store just for you to come in and pick up your items!

Now, coming in at 6PM when everyone is off work and rushing to get home is another story. You have to reach your hand in the back of the rack just to find the right can of tomatoes! Where it the pristine look of this place! I shop in a barn! Ok, so maybe that's just me but this can be true sometimes of our Family Life Wing.

We all take great effort to prepare Sunday for our kids and volunteers to come in and things be nice, ready, and set out for you. The 8:30 service looks like a new building! Those poor 11:30 volunteers and church goers have no idea what the building looked like at 8:30 this morn. How the halls, bathrooms, toys, and teacher cabinets were pristine and stress free…

Let's continue to strive to show our fellow FLM team members and the families who attend later services that we prepared and expected them!

-After a bathroom break check that the counters are soap-spill free and floors don't have tissue scraps all over.

-After your service tidy your room and toys to show the parents we intend to keep your kids as tidy as our room looks!

-Check your cabinet and check in counters before you leave so the next volunteers can come in stress free and find the glue, pens, etc where they belong.

Simple acts of service show our church and fellow volunteers that we are taking seriously the calling God has placed over us in this community and that we will do everything to our best so that God can ultimately save and change a life in service that day!

Thank you for your amazing attention to detail!

March 90 Second Ask

Thanks for joining us for the end of Winter Blockbuster event at The Oaks Theater. As the Lego Movie repeats over, and over, and over - you guys make "Everything Awesome!"

Experience ::ADVENTURE:: in serving //recruiting others

Leading others to experience the adventure is an important part of serving! We are asking you for the month of March to participate in at least ONE "90 Second Ask"

What is the 90 Second Ask?

·      A new way for volunteers to invite others to serve at FLM.

Why are we asking you to participate in the 90 Second Ask?

·      Every Volunteer/ Leader is an inviter.

·      As Coastline attendance increases we need more volunteers to fill roles at each service.

·      People like to be invited to join a ministry by a friend or acquaintance.

·      Coastline has a role that fits all volunteers from teaching, assisting, loving on babies, leading games, connecting with parents, etc.

Who Can You Ask?

• Parents of kids in your room.
• The person who sits next to you in the service.
• A person in your small group or circle of friends.

How do I perform the 90 Second Ask?

•  First - Your personal passion – This will take 30 seconds.
• Let the person know your passion for FLM.
• Second - Personal Affirmation – This will take 30 seconds.
• Let the person know what gifts you see in them and how they could use those gifts.
• If you are speaking with a parent complement them on bringing their child to Coastline.
• If you are speaking with someone who you sit by in the service ask them to pray and fill out a connect card.
• Third – Invite them to explore a specific area – This will take 30 seconds.
• If you know them suggest a role they may want to consider.
• Encourage them to fill out a connect card on the “Plug Me In” side to get more info

Follow-up with the person at the next opportunity to find out if the person has been connected to a serving role or if there are in questions they have.

We are starting a great new volunteer 10 step program which will help people sign up easily, interview with me or Ben, find a role that fits, and be trained in "Real Time" on Sundays while in a service.

Thanks for joining us in the "90 Second Ask" Task for March!
