I agree with you about relationship and communication. I usually spend monday calling people or taking appointments so I can check in with my volunteers right away after sunday. this way I can call people who didn’t show up and hold them accountable and i can also get a “debriefing” for how sunday school was. After 3 years the relationships are finally getting really genuine.

Patience is the key, also. It takes a long time to settle into a new church or new job with new people, but God is Good and encouraging throughout.

@Terry Delaney: You were right on your blog about the learning curve, but I think you’ll do great.

Speaking of experience – If you can spare the money (around $48) you might want to check out http://www.kidology.org/

I check in the forums and articles there and usually find help. If not I just email one of their people and can get help.
