Help Deck out the Dorm for Joshua, a recent Armstrong graduate!
Richmond Hill's Armstrong Leadership Program trains and develops inner city youth, preparing them for success during and after high school. Armstrong High School is located in the center of five public housing developments where family hardship is a common reality and negative influences abound. As a result, the Armstrong Leadership Program recognizes the importance of supporting these youth, so that they can reach their utmost potential and overcome the adversities that they face in their lives.

At Christ Church we are called to live and love more like Jesus every day and we are committed to supporting organizations that enhance educational outcomes. We are blessed to support the Armstrong Leadership Program and hope you can help in supporting one student in a very special way.

On August 5, CCE will host a "Deck out the Dorm" party for a recent graduate of Armstrong Leadership Program. If you are able, please consider purchasing an item from this young man's "wish list." Your generosity will help him have all he needs to succeed when he starts college this fall! Please contact Kay Holmes at kayholmes5225@gmail.com for the gift registry and more details.
 
A Message from Keith
"A few days ago, I injured myself – accidentally jamming my finger, rupturing a tendon in my finger. It will take two to three months to heal, and I will be unable to play the piano during this period. Although there is sadness over my temporary loss, the doctor expects an eventually complete and full recovery, and I am thankful for that. 

Every crisis presents an opportunity. Shirley and I have been wanting to grow musicians and worship leaders in our parish, and to also grow the church as a communal choir.

Perhaps there are some pianists among us who are interested to explore if you could help out in playing for worship services? I would like to invite pianists at about an intermediate level or above to consider exploring how you may be able to help."

READ MORE and CONTACT KEITH if you are interested in playing piano during worship.

Grab a prayer bracelet this weekend and pray for a special member of the Senior High Mission Trip
Our high school missionaries and chaperones would be blessed to be remembered in your prayers next week! They are heading off on Sunday to serve the people of Raleigh, NC. Grab a prayer bracelet from the milling area and wear it next week as a daily reminder to hold the team up in prayer.
Do, Re, Mi ... who, Me?
Yes, you!
It's not too late to "try" the choir this summer.
All teens and adults are invited to join the Summer Sings Pick-Up Choir. This is your chance to sing with the choir at worship on Sunday mornings from June 24 – August 26. You can pick up the music a week in advance and all you have to do is show up 45 minutes before worship (9:15 AM) for a sound-check and quick rehearsal. Lend your voice to the choir any of the weeks that you are able – one week or all ten! If you have any questions, contact Laura McNally at l.mcnally@ccerva.org .
