Service Opportunities
:
1. Here is a wonderful service opportunity for you to do this summer to help kids with special needs at TASK Camp.
"This summer, CBC will once again be hosting a week-long special needs camp in partnership with Team Activities for Special Kids (TASK.) In order for this camp to be successful we are in need of high school volunteers who will be partnered up with a camper, helping them to participate in the many activities that we have planned. Each year we have about 80 campers and 90 volunteers from many area high schools; we are hoping that this year will be no exception. This is a great opportunity for students to not only be a part of a fun week and unique experience but to also earn service hours.
Camp this year will be the week of July 10-14 and will run 8:30a-2:30p (earlier start on Monday, July 10 for brief orientation). We do ask the students commit to working all five days of the camp. If you have volunteered for TASK before and have registered as a volunteer, you need only go to the website below, login and register for the CBC camp. Make sure that you sign up for all 5 days of the week. If you are a first time TASK volunteer then you will need to begin by going to the website below, selecting the "register now" option and fill out the volunteer application. You will be sent an email thanking you for your application. Within a couple days of this registration, you will be sent an additional email notification that your application has been approved. It is at this point you will need to return to the website and sign up to work the CBC camp. Make sure that you sign up to volunteer all 5 days. TASK volunteer website: https://www.volunteermatters.net/vm/MenuHome.do?owner=task
If you have any questions, please direct them to Ms. Nygaard, the faculty coordinator at CBC, at nygaardd@cbchs.org. We look forward to having you come out and be a part of this amazing experience!"

Prayer
:
Lord, give us the faith to trust in your will for us each day. Give us the hope to know that you are always with us and will guide and protect us for now and eternity. Give us the love to transform our lives into a reflection of your forgiveness, goodness, and understanding. Thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus, the Incarnate Word, who inspires us to live fully and faithfully as His disciples. Amen. Have a Blessed Easter!
