At Tiqvah we offer our students an 8-week (June 5 July 26), program on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The students arrive or get picked up around 10am and we take them home around 2:30pm. During our summer program we do fun things at Tiqvah on Tuesdays and adventure out on Thursdays (field trips). We offer students breakfast, lunch and snacks. If you would like to help us out we are in need of snack and lunch donations. We like to offer the students fresh fruit for snack like apples, oranges, bananas, etc. Fruit donations can be made to Tiqvah on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. We could also use packed lunch donations for Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. We plan for 45 people during the summer, that includes students, volunteers and staff.

WILL YOU COME AND FOLLOW ME? This 6:00 pm Tom Trenney with the Chancel Choir and YOU Singing Great Hymns of Our Faith In the last year of his life, our fellow sojourner, Jim Ke lewell, was researching and wri ng par cularly about Methodist hymnody. He had a life-long love for the hymns of our faith and always sang with enthusiasm and sincerity. He took seriously every word of every poem-hymn sung in worship, and he would o en discuss some of the theological details with his worshiping friends. This Hymn Fes val, presented in his memory, will have a theme invi ng us to answer God s call to do jus ce, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God. The bulk of the selec ons will be old favorites such as: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee Great Is Thy Faithfulness Leaning on the Everlas ng Arms Love Divine, All Loves Excelling How Firm a Founda on Also included will be some of the new favorites of Christ Church worshipers: Can cle of the Turning ( My Soul Cries Out ) For Everyone Born Will You Come and Follow Me? ( The Summons ) You will be drawn into these hymns by the manner in which Tom Trenney shares his passion as a pastoral musician, composer, conductor, organist, pianist, and teacher. This will be an evening of great music and profound spiritual renewal.
