voice and vote for their local church. Representing
CUMC this year is Ross Conran. Jessie Cypret will be
attending as a Youth Representative from our church.
If you are interested in learning about the
Conference, or any items up for discussion and vote

DEAR MEMBERS OF COOPERSVILLE UMC,
JUNE MISSION “MINISTRY SHARES”
Our June mission focus will be MINISTRY SHARES. As
committed United Methodists we can do more
together for more people everywhere. Please give as
you are able to support our missions throughout the
world.
The ministry shares (apportionments) come back to
many congregations through resources for local
churches, camping programs and spiritual formation
opportunities for all ages, support for training clergy,
support for retired clergy, superintendent support in
times of difficulty in congregations, and the list goes
on. Ministry Share are a sign of the spiritual
commitment of giving to others in the name of Christ.
We thank you for supporting our mission’s projects.
Our July Mission will focus on the OASIS OF HOPE in
Grand Rapids. Oasis of Hope provides medical and
spiritual Care, Behavioral and Mental Health Help,
Counseling, Diabetic Consultation, Basic Life-Skills
Education and Patient Advocacy to those who have
no access to such help. There will be more
information in the next newsletter.
Thank you for all you do for the Missions of this
Church.
This year Junior Miss Coopersville, Kaylee Brocker and
our 1st Junior Miss, Kristin Stuck were able to deliver
458 fleece blankets to DeVos Children’s Hospital. The
delivery of these blankets would not be possible
without the generosity of the churches and
organizations in the Coopersville area.
The child life specialists at DeVos Hospital were again
delighted to be the recipient of your generosity.
Many hospitalized children will come to know the
outpouring of love from our community.
Thank you so much for participating in the 8th annual
Junior Miss Coopersville fleece blanket drive.
Sincerely, Kaylee Brocker Junior Miss Coopersville 2014
DEAR CUMC,
Thank you for letting us use your church for the
Blanket Work Bee and supporting the Miss
Coopersville Scholarship Program.
Thank you for your support! Kaylee Brocker
Junior Miss Coopersville 2014
DEAR PASTOR CORI AND CHURCH FAMILY,
Thank you for the gift of the plant. We planted it
outside and every year will be reminded of your love
and thoughtfulness. The loss of Susie, Dan’s Mom,
was sudden and unexpected, but her sight and health
was failing and now she can see and be with her loved
ones in heaven. She will be missed.
Love, Dan & Cindy Shull
TO ALL OF YOU PRECIOUS SOULS!
Missions/Outreach Committee
The Michael gift cards were totally unexpected! Thank
you so much. I’ve enjoyed brightening your corner.
Hopefully, what I’ve done will inspire someone else to
take and improve on my approach.

CHURCH CAMP EXPERIENCE
The Summer Camp Programs of the West Michigan
Conference of the United Methodist Church are
about meeting the hopes and dreams of parents, and
creating lifelong, life-changing memories for young
people in a safe, fun, and caring environment.
Your child will have the opportunity to look back at
the summer and remember singing camp songs,
sensing the sounds, sights, and smells of nature,
creating new friendships with kids from faraway
places, and discovering an ever-greater love for God in
their hearts. Your child will grow in self-confidence,
resourcefulness, and gratefulness as they encounter a
spiritual awakening that will unfold over a lifetime.
Registration is available online at http://
www.westmichiganconference.org/pages/detail/2237.
The church is willing to help with a portion of the cost
of camp, if you can’t afford the cost on your own.
Contact Kris in the office if you need any help, also let
the office know if your child is going to camp so we as
a church can be in prayer for your camper.

UPCOMING CHRYSALIS FLIGHTS
Chrysalis is a three-day course in Christianity for
young persons. Chrysalis is similar to and grew out of
the Walk To Emmaus movement. The purpose of
Chrysalis is to be a source of spiritual formation for
Christian young people, conveying the essentials of
Christian faith and practice in the context of a
Christian community.
This summer, two Chrysalis Flights will be occurring.
The Girls Flight will be June 19-21, and the Boys Flight
will be July 17-19. These Flights are open to teenagers
age 14-18, who have finished 9th grade. Currently we
have two girls and three boys that will be attending
this summer.
Be watching for more information on how you can
pray for and support these youth as they embark on
this great spiritual adventure. If you have any
questions, or have a teen who would be interested in
attending a Flight, see Pastor Cori.
