-- Leo’s surgeries were scheduled for this past Thursday—removal of the left kidney due to cancer, and repair of an abdominal aneurism. I had not heard at bulletin printing time how it all went; SURGERY WENT WELL AND LEO IS RECOVERING, THOUGHTS WHERE THAT HE WOULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR AT LEAST 5 DAYS
-- it was great to have little Becca Hobbs with us last Sunday, with Granpa & Grama, Gordon & Vivian. Becca has been struggling with re-occurring bouts of pneumonia this spring and has had to be hospitalized for quite a number of days;
-- Tracy as she heals from her April 20th back surgery--to correct a herniated disc;
-- Keith Dods is currently undergoing chemo and radiation treatments for his cancer;
-- Mal Tarrant (Dauphin) as he is really struggling with cancer. Mal, Beth and their kids were part of our congregation for many, many years, prior to their move to Dauphin. We know this is a very stressful time for the family;
-- Vicki Knutson (Regina): lung cancer in both lungs;
-- please keep the families of all of the above named in your prayers. We know sickness in a member of one’s family is stressful for the whole family;
-- Velma Forman as she ministers both physically and Spiritually to the people of Papua New Guinea. Clinic website: www.onemileclinic.org. Velma: vlforman@daltron.com.pg
-- our government leaders; world peace;
-- take a look around and remember one another in our Church family—may we show Jesus and His love through our words and actions.
SUMMER SCHEDULE: -- please keep in mind that our time together on Sunday mornings for the months of June, July and August will begin at 10:30 a.m. As in the past number of years, the time from 10:30 to 10:55 will be a devotional time, while also sharing in some singing with the children. There is a schedule on the bulletin board for the men to sign up to be in charge of the 10:30 to 10:55 time, so if you can look after this time for a Sunday or two (or more!) please mark your name down.
Our regular worship service will begin as usual at 11:00 a.m.
SPECIAL COLLECTION: -- thanks to those who gave to the “Moose Jaw Church of Christ Members Mission Fund” over the past two Sunday’s—a total of $1,005.00 was given. These funds will be set aside for use by members of our congregation who are going on a mission trip.
NEEDED FOR CAMP CRAFTS: -- we need cereal boxes for our week of camp. These are used to keep the tables from getting messy when the kids are using markers, glue etc., so the boxes can be flattened. They can be given to either Donna or Bonnie and they will stash them away for Camp. Thanks!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: -- for cutting the grass here at the building. If you are able to help, please mark your name down on the calendar on the bulletin board—whatever week or weeks work for you. If you need any further information or want to know anything about the lawn mower, please check with Douglas. Thanks!
CLEARVIEW CHRISTIAN CAMP: -- summer activities at the Camp begin in a little under three weeks, with July 1-3rd, being the “Fifty Years of Camp Reunion Weekend”, followed by “Family Camp Week”, July 3-8th, and then the kids weeks begin, with the Grades 2 to 5 week beginning July 10th. As in the past five or six years (or maybe longer) the Grades 2 to 5 week is handled by a group of us from here. Those who have already committed to going are: Darin, Donna, Tracy (Kurt can’t get that week off work this year, so will not be able to join us) Bonnie, Brett, Dan and Linda. There are several others who are still in the “thinking process”—we hope you decide to come!
CLEARVIEW CHRISTIAN CAMP:
(1). 50th Anniversary Celebration: -- will be held on the July 1-3rd weekend. This will be a wonderful time of fellowship and sharing memories of 50 years at Clearview. If you have been a part of Camp in the past or want to see what Camp is all about, plan to attend. Registration info can be found at www.clearviewchristiancamp.ca
(2). History of Clearview: -- is being compiled. If you have pictures from times at Camp—long ago or recent—please give them to Bonnie. She will ensure that all original photos are returned. Also, if you have any history memories about the Camp and would write them down these can be given to Bonnie as well, for inclusion in the history.
Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them.
When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do. -- Author Unknown

“TRUE NORTH HELPING HANDS” MISSON TRIP:
We need to keep Sharon’s mission trip to Mexico in our prayers. Sharon will drive to Calgary on June 29th and she and her niece will be on a flight to San Diego early the next morning. They will meet up with the rest of the group there—approximately 60 people—including Sharon’s Dad & Mom, Roland and Lois Olson from Weyburn, who are driving to San Diego. The group will then carry on to Baja California, Mexico to work for a week.
From the late 80’s through the 90’s the Mexican government relocated tribal indigenous people from southern Mexico to Baja California in northern Mexico. The governments concern was the high number of unskilled laborers in the area south of Mexico City. However, when the people arrived in Baja there was no plan on how to deal with them. The people work for $10.00 to $12.00 a day in the fields.
A pre-school project has been chosen this year for the group to work on. The school currently exists in one makeshift building. The pre-school allows parents of young children to work and be able to support their family financially. In many cases, children of this region have to leave their families to live in orphanages. Their parents are required to work and are unable to provide child care. The pre-school allows child care and education to the families and avoids increasing the number of children living in orphanages.
The mean standard of education for the general populous of Mexican children is Grade 6. For the indigenous communities, the mean standard of education is Grade 3. Providing schools is the solution to increasing their level of education.
True North Helping Hands is a Canadian Church of Christ led organization that dedicates itself to assisting Mexican people in their efforts to provide education for their children. The mission to Mexico creates opportunities to work with local Churches. These local Churches are encouraged by the work done by this group each year. The group is soliciting prayers this mission. If you would like to make a donation to the trip, or would like more information, you can visit their website at: http://truenorthhh.org
KIDS’ KINDNESS …
Last year I was involved in a toy drive for children. The only reason I was doing it was for an extra credit in school. I spent day after day sorting toys, and looking at the clock to see if it was time to go home. The night of the wrapping I got to the school just a little bit late. I was stunned to see over 150 people there wrapping gifts. I started to feel good about what I had done.
All the help and good-will that was shown that night really touched my heart. I hope that I will have the chance to do that again. The biggest surprise is that I didn’t care about the extra credit any more. To this day, I haven’t turned in the sheet. -- Kyle, 8th Grade
TPS FO STAYING YOUNG
(1). Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That’s why you pay him/her.
(2). Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
(3). Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain be idle. “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
(4). Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is all that you can afford. When they are in college that is all that you can afford. When you are retired, that is all that you can afford!
(5). Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive laughter.
(6). The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
(7). Be alive while you are alive. Don’t put a mailbox on the highway of death and wait in residence for your mail.
(8). Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies—whatever. Your home is your refuge.
(9). Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
(10). Don’t take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next city, a foreign country, but not on a guilt trip.
(11). Tell the people you love that you love them at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away!
