Schedules

Here is the schedule we are using. Obviously, things vary by a minute or two, but we try to stay as close to the schedule as we can to avoid conflicts with different age groups wanting the same room at the same time, and to get all three age groups back for the closing around the same time, and to keep from running too late and making parents anxious.

Obviously, each local church would need to make adjustments, due to considerations like available rooms, available people, and so on. Think of this as an example. Notice how the elementary (our largest age group) is on the move to a different area every fifteen or twenty minutes. We'd do the same thing with the other age groups if we had enough space to be able to make it work.
