The congregational meeting last week was very well attended and your response to this was very positive. It is the elders' goal to have these meetings at least 3 times per year. These meetings are for the purposes of communication and to gather input from you. However, you do not have to wait for a formal meeting to give your input on any matter. Most suggestions or comments can be addressed to the deacon who is in charge of the particular ministry. If it is something that needs to involve one or more of our shepherds, you may contact them at any time. They meet as a group regularly and are available for visitation in your home.

Be sure to check your mailbox at the church building every week. Many items are communicated through that medium. It is also a great way for you to send a note or card of encouragement to someone that you appreciate. The scriptures are filled with verses relating to encouragement. 'Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. - I Thessalonians 5:11. 'But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.' - Hebrews 3:13. 'Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the Day approaching.' - Hebrews 10:25.

Our camps start next week. We have some great offerings for grades 3 through high school. Music Camp starts with Mike Reeves directing this session June 15. It is not too late to enroll for this camp. Dave Shaner directs Junior Camp (grades 6-8) on August 3-9. Currently he needs some help for both counselors and cooks. This is a very enjoyable experience. If you would like to help, please see Dave. There is also a Senior Camp, an All-Teen Camp and a Preteen Camp. You may pick up registration forms at the kiosk. You save $30 by registering at least 2 weeks early. This is done to encourage preregistration so that adequate food and supplies can be purchased.

Summer is upon us. We live in a beautiful area where many spend a lot of time outdoors. The church is hosting several outdoor activities. Be sure to make your church attendance a priority as your summer goes along.

Have a Great Week!

There will be a Potluck and a day of swimming, boating and games.

We wish to thank each one for attending the congregational meeting. It was a positive meeting and well attended. As mentioned at the meeting, we still would like to have more questionnaires completed and turned into the office. If you have not completed a questionnaire, please pick one up at the kiosk, fill it out and return it to the office or one of the elders. If you are concerned about confidentiality, place the questionnaire in a sealed envelope and return it to the office. As mentioned in the meeting, we are looking for information for future planning for this church. Please assist us.

Kick-off, at the Fredrikson's, was a blast. Thanks Keith and Carol for your wonderful hospitality. You were a blessing to all of us, and you have a special place in our hearts.

All-Teen Camp registrations must be mailed tomorrow!!!

We need to leave immediately after worship, so please come early enough to have your stuff loaded on the bus before worship! We're gonna have a great week praising God. The following is one of the songs we will learn:

This is a beautiful, musical rendition of the Twenty-third Psalm, only one of the new songs we will be learning at Music Camp. Our lives will be enriched, and we'd like to share that with you. All our new songs will be presented in a special program on Friday night at 8 o'clock. You are invited!

The school year for 2003-2004 is now behind us! I want to remind you, as part of God's family, that this mission work has been a success. It has been a great year with many wonderful memories and kind activities from generous Christ-centered hearts. We have received new playground equipment and computers. We have a serious, motivated parent group. We have students and parents interested in God's Word and the direction of His school.

Promises, promises. Have you ever heard someone say, "I promise, I will do that" ? Sometimes we see a fulfillment of that statement, but often not. Companies promise to stand behind their products. Project groups promise to deliver products on specific dates and times. Parents may or may not promise to do this or that. Children promise to obey their parents if only the parents will do this. As a school we believe in God's promise. We often remind our students that God has promised us something very special if we are obedient and strive to follow the example that He set.

We know God has propelled us. He has given C.C.S. that new strength this year to focus on the future and not on the past. He has guided us with a focused direction. He has enabled us to be filled with excitement and given us a great year. God keeps His promises when we rely completely on Him! We have already matched enrollment for next year with the current enrollment! That is exciting. God has given us (The Church) a great mission avenue, a great tool, a field ready to be harvested. We are planning and organizing now for next year! We promise to continue what God has led us to do, and we welcome YOUR involvement to help with our continued success! Thank-you Church. And, we are always thankful for the help and participation of Mike Reeves (singing), Dave Shaner (Math), Kim Howard (second secretary!), and many others who have helped on a daily and weekly basis to make this school a success! Thank you Church again!

On Tuesday, June 17 at 7:00 p.m. the 4th of July Parade Float Committee Meeting will meet at the school picnic area to help plan all aspects of our float. Kids are welcome. Last year's float won 2nd place and this year we want to win 1st. This is great exposure for our school and we need all the help we can get. Please join the fun by helping in any way you can. Any time you help will be appreciated. For more information contact Patty Welter (773-8673) or Teri Gallus (659-3608).
