Sunday I shepherded for 5/6th at 11:30. I've noticed that 11:30s have had lower numbers recently, not quite sure why, but this eased my mind a bit because it was (admittedly) my first week ever with 5/6th grade. I was a little nervous! I'm not sure why, it's not like they bite! Anyway, we were in Storytelling and ended up having only three kids. It was GREAT! Honestly, had I left because I wasn't "needed to help out", I would have missed out on a great time. I also had the chance to get to know each kid a bit, and they had the opportunity to get to know each other.
With the small class, the teacher and I were really able to relax the schedule and just have fun! We spent more time on things that the kids wanted to, let everyone have a turn, and everyone got to a chance to play all of the roles in the skit on Samuel hearing God's voice. One of the girls was really shy and I doubt she would have volunteered for a role had there been more kids in class. But since it was only the 5 of us girls there, I saw her really come out of her shell. We had so much fun, lots of laughter, and we all really enjoyed the lesson. What a great day!
