TEACHER, I HAVE TO PEE!

Yea, eventually, someone is going to have to go to the bathroom.

Here's the deal---when the kids come in, we ask them at the registration table if they have "gone." And the parents need to take them, not us.

If a kid needs to go during a session, that's another story. We try to absolutely have no one go to the bathroom during key service times--worship, teaching and prayer. Those moments are carefully crafted for the appropriate response, and we don't want to interrupt that.

But eventually, someone's gonna have to go... so here's what you do: YOU NEVER GO ALONE! We have the rule of 3's---which means, it's always YOU (the coach) and at least 2 kids. Believe me, once one says he's got to go, you will have plenty of others willing to go.

Butttttt.........don't make a huge announcement like, "Ok kids, who's got to go?" Be discreet! You might know who has to go by seeing them do the little dance! If no one else has to go, they you HAVE to take another coach with you.

It's simple, no exceptions.

I prefer that we take care of that business before service and after. During presession time and post session activity time.
