9 *GET INVOLVED* A volunteer is a person who can see what others cannot see; who can feel what most do not feel. Often, such gifted persons do not think of themselves as volunteers, but as citizens - citizens in the fullest sense: partners in civilization. Anonymous Stewardship of Fatherhood Some Things I have Learned Dads Should Do by Arlyn T, Stewardship Team 1. Pray daily with your wife and children. 2. Hug and kiss your wife so much, your children no longer say, Yuck! 3. Hug your children and, when they are older, they will initiate the hug. 4. The more we say, I love you, to our wife and children, the better. 5. The less we say, When I was your age, the better. 6. Do not go to bed angry with your children or wife. 7. Especially if you have sons, let them see you cry. 8. Do not pretend you know it all, your children figured that out long ago. 9. If you are not at worship, your sons will not be at worship later in life. 10. If you can talk to your children about sex, you can talk to them about anything. 11. In whether to finish work at home or play with your children, choose the latter. 12. Do not say later to your child when you can say, now. 13. Give your children at least one hour every Saturday to do what they want. 14. Tell your children how much money you give to the work of the Lord. 15. Watch your habits; children will pick them up. 16. Whenever you can, ask your children for their opinion. 17. Seek forgiveness from God and your family; they are the ones we hurt the most. [9]

10 Financial Report Gifts Given Gifts Expected April $13,714 $15,285 -$1,571 Year to date $58,221 $58,340 -$119 We give thanks to God for all who are saying "Yes!" to God in their faithful generosity. Of those who made an estimate of giving for 2015, 72.5% are ahead or current and 23.6% are close to being current. From these statistics, it obviously does make a difference to make an annual review of our generosity and then commit to an amount. To God be the glory!

With the theme "ReNew" we're going to learn more about caring for God's creation through reducing, reusing, recycling, repurposing and sharing God's love with others. See Karin K on Sunday mornings or call the church office for detailed information about VBS. Please click HERE to open and print the registration form. Children from preschool (and potty trained) through fifth grade will have opportunities for fun activities, creative projects, music, and games. They'll also hear Bible stories told by Farmer Keith Fry. CTL youth will be helping in many ways at VBS. Active CTL adult members are needed to provide willing hands and leadership during VBS. See Jeanne, our director, to volunteer or offer assistance. Watch for recycled posters with lists of items you can donate! (top) Travel with the Tolzmanns Fri., Oct. 30 Mon., Nov. 9 the Tolzmanns will be hosting a tour in Alpine Europe. All are welcome! See the brochure at church or call Jeanne for details. They've been doing this since 1999 and have had amazing adventures. Group travel isn't for everyone but for those who enjoy not having to worry about transportation, hotels, reserving tickets for exhibits and museums, restaurants, and dealing with their own luggage, this is a great way to see highlights around the world. The groups are usually comprised of people who've traveled with us many times, some who are friends new to group travel, some who hear about the trip from others and decide to give it a try, and occasionally a [11]

12 Tolzmann relative or two. Group members come from all over the US to meet us at O'Hare for departure. Questions? Give us a call Advent Devotional Watch for the choices you will have to contribute to the CTL Advent Devotional for 2015, starting Sun., Jun. 7.

Sign-up will be set up in the gathering area. Prayerfully consider joining in this spiritual growth opportunity that can be shared among us. Questions? Ask Carol B or any E-Team member.

(top) Kids Hope USA CTL mentors and children met in May for the last time this school year. To celebrate our third year at Hillcrest and the end of a great year we had a party at school. Mentors, prayer partners, kids, parents, siblings, teachers, social worker, and principal were the guests. Pizza, popcorn, and desserts were served. The kids were excited for weeks prior to the party! They know which kids are part of Kids Hope but they don't always get to see each other in a party atmosphere. A wonderful time was had by ALL! Although there are no mentoring sessions during the summer, prayers continue. In September, mentors will once again meet their mentees for one on one sessions that have been proven to have a big impact on the lives of these special children. Please prayerfully consider becoming involved in this vital CTL ministry as a mentor or prayer partner. Training and support are provided by KH CTL directors Jeanne T and Carri N. [13]

If you have any questions or would like to suggest a book that you have read and think the book club would enjoy reading, please contact Carol H.(top) Prayerful Humor Pie Manners In a country home that seldom had guests, the young son was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office. When the dinner was nearly over, the boy went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest. The boy came in with a second piece of pie and again watched his father give it to a guest. This was too much for the boy, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size." [14]

15 Hooks and Needles (Prayer Shawl and Baptismal Blanket Ministry) As you select yarn for a new prayer shawl, consider that we are in need of colors that are bright, lively, and cheerful colors that will help dispel the gloom! We are getting very low on shawls, so please keep crocheting and knitting. For crafters interested in making a prayer shawl, there are now "unkits" available next to the Dress-A-Girl kits in the CTL entry area. These kits include instructions, a card, and everything else you will need (except for the knitting needles/crochet hook) to complete a prayer shawl. Thanks to some wonderful angels, we are able to provide kits with yarn. *LEARNING* Adult Study Groups B. & B.: Bible and Brew NO MEETING JUNE 2 Bible and Brew meets at 7:00 p.m. at the Village Squire, Dundee.
