“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs’” (Matthew 19:14 NRSV).

Greetings in Christ,

April showers bring May flowers; and May flowers remind us another school year is almost complete. This Sunday we will recognize our graduating seniors for 2008 during the morning worship service. Our High School graduates are: Matthew Howard, Steven Oliver, Josh King, Hailey Lester, and Deserae Gonzalez-Coomes. In addition Lynsie Bunn will be graduating from Murray State University. I know you will want to join me in congratulating each of these graduates in this important milestone in their life.

           The end of the school year also reminds us it is almost time for summer camp. Church camp is open for all youth ages 9-18. The deadline for all camp registration forms is June 9^th. If you are planning to attend camp this year we ask that you get your forms now and return them to the church office no later than May 31^st. This will provide us with the necessary time to check all forms, and mail them to Louisville before the presbyterial dead line. You can obtain the necessary forms from your Sunday School Teacher, Youth or F.O.G. Leader, or through the church office.

          If you have committed to work camp this summer, please fill out your staff registration forms a.s.a.p. These are for the background checks that are mandatory to work at Camp Crescendo. In addition there are two staff training events: May 17^th at Bowling Green CPC at 10:00 a.m. central time, and June 7^th at Camp Crescendo at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. All volunteers will need to attend one of these two meetings.

Together in HIS service,

Bro Tim
