LAUGHTER IS AN INSTANT VACATION

February 21, 2016

Campion Adventist Church, 10:30 a.m.

 

They say laughter is the best medicine. In fact, studies show that we need a minimum of 12 laughs a day...just to stay healthy.

 

Health and laughter are related; laughter reduces the level of stress hormones and increases the level of healthy hormones. Humor and laughter encourage a positive frame of mind and a more lighthearted perspective on life.

 

Think of it like this: If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you. I used to be indecisive; now I'm not sure. Chocolate is the answer, who cares what the question is. Press any key to continue, where is the 'any key'? Whenever I get the urge to exercise, I lie down until it goes away.

 

Laughter cards and quizzes will put us in the mood to put the fun back in life with Laughter is an Instant Vacation.

 

The speaker, Kay Wakefield, has over thirty years experience counseling and coaching people in their personal and spiritual growth. Kay is a Seventh-day Adventist commissioned minister serving the church for nearly twenty-five years, eleven as a hospital chaplain.

Students in grades 5-8 have the opportunity to develop team-building skills, and get plenty of physical activity in HMS Richards School's sports program.  From November to January, the HMS Cougars have been participating in basketball, and they are about to face volleyball in early February. Our sports schedule this year includes soccer, basketball, volleyball, and lastly flag-football.

The Cougars play games after school against other Adventist schools in the area.  At the end of January, there was a tournament where all of the teams met up and competed against each other. 

Eighth grade student, Megan Michelenko, said she likes how "We all work as a team."  Most teams think that they always have a star player. At this school we think of every one of us as a star player, and we all have improved so much. Davin Hammond, Principal and 7th & 8th grade teacher, is also the coach and students practice during P.E. class.  This year has been so far a fantastic experience for everyone to get a chance to enjoy physical education; come out to cheer on the Cougars!

Doug & Maxine Smith

         We want to welcome Doug into our church family and welcome back Maxine who is a member at Campion but has been attending elsewhere.  Doug has a background as a chemist, but currently is self-employed doing safety and compliance training and consulting.  Maxine is currently employed as a home healthcare nurse. 

       They share seven grandchildren from age 3 months to 15 years old.  Doug's interests are RC airplanes, rocketry and woodworking, and Maxine likes to spend her time inside with interior design or outside gardening.  They both love to travel and have gone on mission trips together.  Some of the interests they would like to be involved in at Campion are teaching classes, music, and leadership, so we hope to get you integrated.  They say they have enjoyed Campion Church because of the pastors and the leadership's support of the spiritual growth of the congregation.

Interview by Teresa Johansen

Kari and Jared Lange joined us at the beginning of the school year. Kari grew up in Loveland with her two brothers and parents, Pastor Al and Sherri Williams. She graduated from

Campion Academy and went on to Union College where she graduated in 2001 with her teaching degree. Kari is now teaching at HMS Richards in grades 1-3. She says she loves her job and feels so thankful to be here. She commented that it sometimes seems surreal teaching in the very room she once attended as a girl.

Jared attended Upper Columbia Academy near Spokane, Washington, and went on to Walla Walla College where he graduated with a nursing degree in 1999. Jared now works in Longmont at the United Hospital on the medical floor. Kari and Jared got married in December of 2004, and now have two lovely little daughters, Evie May and Chloe Grace. 

The Lange family loves outdoor activities, hiking, biking, and Jared enjoys all kinds of

sports. Kari has been involved with our church telling the children's story. They live here in Loveland. We welcome the Langes to Campion Church.

Interview by Pat Graybill

Jonathan Candy has been visiting Campion Church since he was born, so it's a familiar place and "Nice to be a part of," he says. Back then, he was coming to visit his grandparents, Chuck and Judy Paulien, and now he's staying with them as he attends Front Range Community College in pursuit of a welding degree. Jonathan grew interested in welding thanks to his metals class at Milo Academy in Oregon, and hopes to eventually become a blade maker. Happy to leave the wet Oregon winters behind, he is enjoying Colorado and "actually having snow." Welcome to Campion, Jonathan.

Interview by Jenny Sigler 

Have you thought of the beauty of the ancient sanctuary? Or Solomon's temple? Or even Harod's temple of the time of Christ? The people were instructed to make it beautiful and no creativity or expenses spared. 

Think of some special occasion or person you would like to honor. Think birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, graduations, new job--whatever. Maybe a thank you for God's grace and blessings.

There will be a sign-up list on the bulletin board in the hallway across from the pastor's

office. Sign up there and coordinate it with Teresa at least two weeks ahead of your

date. She will put a notice in the bulletin as to whom or what you are commemorating

or honoring. For pulpit flowers the price range would probably be $70-80. Flowers for

the organ could be smaller and less expensive.

Thank you for helping to make our church so much more beautiful.
