Thank you for “stepping up” during the

first 3 weeks of STEP UP TO THE

commitments to be in Sunday School for

6 Sundays or more during the summer.

Attendance has been strong in June.

June 7 - 427

June 21 - 412

The competition in all four age divisions

is hotter than the interior of a car left in

the hot sun all day. The winners will be

those teams/groups who can keep a

consistent good attendance and who have

members inviting and bringing new

people to be a part of their group. There

are no “breakaways” in any division.

Keep “stepping up!” Here are the

standings after week 3.

ADULT

Lovelace Group - 2 wins

Living Stones - 1 win

YOUTH

Brave Tigers - 2 wins

9th-10th Grade - 1 win

CHILDREN

3rd Grade Angels - 1.5 wins

2nd Grade Angels - 1 win

5th Grade - 0.5 win

PRESCHOOL

Three Year Olds - 1 win

I want to issue a challenge to our Sunday

School groups to help us maintain a 400

average attendance until August 9th.

Encourage your group members to be

faithful in their participation in Sunday

School over the Summer. If we all

STEP UP we can make this a great

Summer at Burkemont.
