In the Chapel
Hello fellow Greeters and new Greeters in our Greeter ministry: Thank you
for your continued service and filling in when needed. We would like to
welcome and thank our new greeters for becoming a part of the ministry. Since
the Easter Cantata is just around the corner, I will be posting a sign-up list for
greeters needed on those three nights at the information booth. Please plan to
be here a half an hour before the scheduled time you've chosen to greet.
There are magnetic greeter ribbons with names on them for your convenience
in the desk at the information booth. Please feel free to store them in the desk
after you are done greeting. We always encourage new greeters so please let
us know if you would like to be part of the ministry. A friendly greeting with a
smile :) is a warm start to a morning, a welcome to CFC, and says God and
you care that they are here!!!!
Come and Be blessed, Natasha Kurasz & Rhonda Blair
The Jr. Church Ministry is looking for some volunteers to help during night
service. We would like to split the age groups as we do in the morning and to
do so we need a few more hands. Volunteering will commit you to serving in
rotation of one Sunday night every 6-8 weeks. Lesson plans will be provided.
Please contact Mel O'Donovan via email bellysue@yahoo.com

106 CFC men went to Iron Sharpens Iron. What a blessing. Others
would have gone but couldn't. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his
righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Spiritual
growth doesn't just happen, it is based on diet!
Family C amping In New Hampshire
Every year for years and years, Pastor has taken Teens camping on the property in N.H. where he was born. We set up tents in the field and in front of the house. There are two outside showers, outhouses and a fire ring. It is not fancy but it is fun. The Teens will go again August 9-‐15. From July 19-‐25 a Family Campout is planned so if you are interested, put it on your calendar. You can come for any or all of those days. T he goal is to have some fellowship in a very beautiful spot. There is swimming, hiking a nd tourist spots such as Whales Tail, Loon Mt., Clarks Trading Post, etc. Families will do their own thing. There will not be any particular schedule. We don't have room for RVs although popups will work. CFC can l oan tents to those who d on't own o ne.

Signs Found in the Kitchen
❖ Martha Stewart doesn't live here!
❖ If you write in the dust, please don't date it!
❖ I would cook dinner but I can't find the can opener!
❖ My house was clean last week, too bad you missed it!
❖ I came, I saw, I decided to order take out.
❖ Although you'll find our house a mess, come in, sit down and
converse. It doesn't always look like this: Some days it's even
worse.
❖ If you don't like my cooking. Lower your standards.
❖ A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand!
❖ Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall
never cease to be amused.
❖ Countless number of people have eaten in this kitchen and gone
on to lead normal lives.
❖ My next house will have no kitchen...just vending machines.
