Through emailing, Dave was able to give me direction for finishing the draft of the TEAM Manual. It was decided to do a combined TEAM Manual like the Quick Start Manual. I worked to complete the draft, which mainly consisted over going over the youth and children information and working to level the activities as most appropriate for children, youth, or both. I also worked developing some questions for meeting with children’s ministry leaders to go over with Dave when we meet later in the work.

About the ministry?
One of the main goals for Dave for this project is to have a resource that will create a smooth transition between the children and the youth program. It was challenging at times to work on the leveling the different activities within the TEAM Manual, but as I was doing this, it was interesting to use what I have been learning in the Spiritual Formation class about different developmental stages to help direct some of the things that I was unsure about. It can be difficult to make generalizations knowing that all children are different, but I think overall I was able to come up with levels that will work for most children and youth and help with the transition between the two.

We had talked about this, but I hadn’t added anything yet. It was again interesting as I was reading through things for the Spiritual Formation class and one chapter even discussed spiritual formation in regards to prenatal care. Even since the Child Welfare Conference in the fall, I have heard and read several things about the effects of care of young children on their ability to trust others and as a result to trust God. This is one thing I want to continue to learn about as I find it very interesting, but do not know a lot
