When we purchased the JAM City curriculum in 2010, it was the plan that it would be reused at the end of a cycle. Well, that cycle is ending soon and I went looking for the material we used in the beginning. I wanted to copy the curriculum for our small group and large group leaders, but realized that what I needed was not on a disc. That’s how I retrieved all our other material, but when we first starting using the material, all the lessons were hand photocopied. My experience with this material has been to print everything I need from the computer.
So I turned on my computer and then almost had a panic attack when I realized that what I needed wasn’t on the computer and it would require hours of time to copy everything for all the leaders. I called Nicole (who was Children’s Zone Coordinator before I took on the job) to ask if I was missing something because I was worried that it would take me months to do the photocopying (maybe a tad over-exaggerated) and asked her "Did you actually hand copy all of it?"
Her response was "You are not going to believe this but I just found the memory stick with all that information on it, and by just, I mean five minutes ago.” She told me that Connie had spent hours copying ALL of the Units and Lessons (trust me, it is a LOT) and then saved them all on a pretty orange stick. It also happened that Paul was on his way to the church for youth, so within 10 minutes of my phone call, I had the pretty orange stick with every single Lesson on it so I could just click and print the way I am accustomed to doing it.
Wow, God is good and works in really fun ways!
Thank you Nicole and Connie for all of this foresight and hard work!!!
