Summer session is done and regular services start tomorrow. So does RE. This means, unfortunately, that I will miss the Water Communion, since that will most likely happen after the kids leave the sanctuary and head up to the classrooms. *sigh*

This year I'm teaching Spirit Play, back with my preferred 1st-grade age group. I have one co-teacher, and I'm not sure which of us is meant to be the Door Keeper and which the Storyteller. I'd much prefer to be the Storyteller, since I'm not so good with greeting but I am damn good at storytelling, if I do say so myself. *grin* In any case, I'm meeting our new DRE at 9:30am to do a mini training session before everyone else gets there. Services start at 10:30 and classes at 10:45, but it's best to be in the classroom around 10:15, since some parents drop their kids off early and have the teachers decided whether or not to take them downstairs for the first 15 minutes of the service. (Also, you have time to do set-up and review that day's curriculum.)

The thing about Spirit Play is that it seems to depend on having the two teachers be there every single week, like clockwork, which means I will miss every service until January. Possibly until next June, since I don't know if anyone has volunteered for the spring session yet -- I certainly haven't heard anything about it, and since our previous DRE retired this past June, I have no idea how organized or disorganized the new DRE is.

Ah well, I'm sure it'll all work out somehow.
