Prayer for Vacation
Gracious God, it's hard to shift from a life of busy work
to a period of quiet relaxation.
Help me let go of my need to produce and of my worry over what will happen at work while I am away.
As I give myself to the relaxation of mind and body,
let the activities of my work life silently recede into the background. Let me open my soul to you as if it were
an empty canvas waiting for the creative touch of
the artist's hand.
I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen

CCDS School Year Comes to an End
The school is a buzz...
|
|
|
2017/2018 year comes to a close |
Is there a more exciting time in a child's life than the end of school/beginning of summer vacation? CCDS is no exception and you can feel (and hear) the excitement on the campus. This week is filled with cleaning out desks, last minute presentations, a talent show, school Play Day, closing chapel and graduation. It has been a wonderful year with Mrs. Nancy Funk at the helm; and just as this school year ends, plans begin for the 2018/2019 session that starts in late August.
There are limited openings in some of the grades. Those interested in joining the student body next year should fill out an
inquiry form at the school's website or call the Admissions Desk at (619) 522-6460.

A Big Thank You to the Choir
Leaving for summer hiatus
A
big thank you to our choir and choir director; this Sunday will be their last until fall. They're going on a well-deserved break for the summer. Take a moment to thank them for their hard work and inspirational contribution to our worship service each Sunday. Thank you as well to Geoff Graham, our organist who remains on the bench all summer

Blessings in a Bag
Pack a few this Sunday
Christ Church Service Ministry gives us another opportunity this Sunday to pack a bag (or two or three) of non-perishable food items. These
Blessings in a Bag are best kept in your car to hand out to those in need you might encounter during your day. We hope you'll stop by the tables either after the 8:00 or 10:00 a.m. services and participate.

We're Going Solar!
Project begins Monday, June 11
After much research and planning Christ Church Vestry approved a solar plan for the campus and installation begins next week. Sullivan Solar Power will be on-site June 11-15 and plans to complete the entire project in one week. Due to power outages for the electrical upgrades needed, the parish office will be closed next Monday, June 11.
We should be back on the grid and up and running by Tuesday morning. It's an exciting commitment to a passive system that will help save $$ and the environment.

There are only 5 spaces remaining for this summer's Camp Create, July 23-26. Those openings will be publicized community-wide next Monday and will probably be filled right away.
So get your application in soon. Contact
Charlette Preslar
for applications or more information.
The cost is $75 for the first child and $60 for the second child with a cap of $150 per family; lunch and snacks included.
Scholarships are available, and we are happy to provide them as needed.

Camp Create provides a unique experience for most of these children, one that is financially out of reach for most of the families.

Adult Forums through Summer
Periodic offerings
The summer months are a time to relax, rest, recuperate, and rejuvenate. While summer church doesn't miss a beat, the Adult Forum educational offering at 9:00 a.m. Sunday mornings will be taking a break. There will be some special events that will be publicized (see keep your eyes open) but on the whole there will be no regular presentations.
