Busy Summer...Need Prayer

Just wanted to make a plea to anyone reading this silly thing...
Our elementary team needs a ton of your prayers in the next month. We are experiencing one of the most chaotic summers a ministry can handle (by the grace of God we will make it thru). Camp starts in a week and a half and well, we have loads of details to cover. If you don't mind, I'm just going to list some things you can briefly pray for:
1 - Pray God will provide the right volunteers. Some of our biggest weeks still are lacking 1/2 the amount of adults leaders needed...that's bad! Some groups don't even have leaders and we're talking 15 or so kids to a group. Yikes!
2 - Pray that the volunteers we do have will stay committed and show up tonight for the training!
3 - Pray for Karla (new events person on staff - 1st time heading up camp), that she would do a great job!
4 - Pray our staff will hang tight with each other and not be divided.
5 - Pray for a smoothe transition into our new security system (Fellowship One). The entire church is going to this new check-in system, but it effects everything in the children's departments. This transition takes place right in the middle of camp season!
6 - Pray that with all the changes happening in our program, that we will be able to avoid huge disasters and handle everything as it comes our way.
7 - Pray that in all of this we will not forget our main reason for doing what we do...and that's helping to raise spiritual champions for God!

I suppose that a few things to get ya started;) Thank you for praying and lifting up our team. If you want to pray for anyone by name, here ya go...
Steve, Jon, Nevan, Jan, Amanda, Robin, Jo, Cheryll, Karla, Donna...and me!
