As we move further into the summer, I cannot help but be so grateful for what my first semester of student ministry has looked like here at CHPC. Confirmation has been such a wonderful process over the past few months, and I am so proud to have worked with this class of confirmands. Seeing the culmination of their study and growth has been rewarding, as much

for me as it has been for them!

To the whole church, I want to say thank you again. To our parents, to the group of women who came alongside our students as mentors, to those who volunteers to prepare meals, and to the whole church for your support of our youth! It is by your investment that we can make impacts into the lives of our young people.

And as we transition into the ministry that is taking place during the summer, I would like to call upon our entire church community again to consider volunteering for Vacation Bible School! This year we have the exciting opportunity of partnering with our Methodist friends down the road. The theme we want to instill into our children for VBS is “We Are the Church”. And what better way is there for our kids to learn this lesson than for us to step up and work together with our Methodist brothers and sisters to put on a fantastic VBS program for all of our kids?

So whether you can cook, clean, help lead games, be a shepherd, help with crafts, setting up or tearing down, or more: we can use whatever gifts God has blessed you with! And we can certainly use your help no matter how great or small your availability is! Whether that is all week or only one day of VBS, we would be grateful for whatever time commitment you can give us!

So please, fill out a VBS volunteer form on our website by Friday June 24 and plan on attending the VBS Volunteer meeting on Sunday June 26 at CHUMC at 12:15pm. Thanks so much!

Grace & Peace,

-Tyler
