CCC Update

Hello Everybody!

Summer is upon us! Is your summer off to a great start? This Sunday we will be finishing up our series on the family with "Raising Idaho," a message on parenting. There is so much to say about being a parent we could not possible cover it all. We will, however, focus in on something that I think every child needs... a hero. How can we be heros to our kids? It is easier than you think.

Live it Out, our summer program for the kids, got off to a great start last Sunday. Rob and Heidi led the kids in a fun time of relays and games and had a bible lesson as well. This is a good time to bring kids to visit our church. The summer is going to be packed with fun activities for them during the 10 a.m. hour.

The Xtreme camping trip is coming up on June 26-28 for all of our teens. Great memories are built at times like these as well as lasting impressions about God and life. The kids are going to be up at lucky peak camping out, cooking out, boating, jet skiing, and worshipping around the camp fire. Make sure your teen knows all about this and is planning to go. Don't forget there is a web site for our teens with news and updates as well as inspiring posts at xtremeboise.com .

I know that many of you have not entered the Twitter universe and have no intention of doing so. If, however, you are up for some techno fun you can find me at ccbcboise on Twitter. If you follow me you will get daily updates from me about what is going on in my world and the church's. Also, check out the pastor's blog at http://timbrucesblog.blogspot.com/ . This is so much fun, I don't know how you can stand it.

Prayer and Thanksgiving: Thank the Lord and all of you for helping us meet our budget number in the month of May. Our final offering amount was $13,600! If we stay focused through the summer we will be well on our way to gaining ground for our exciting future. Lets all pray for two of our ladies with upcoming surgeries. Heidi Braden and Heather Copner will both be having surgery in the near future. Please pray for God to bless their doctors and give them full recovery as well as wisdom for all decisions they are faced with surrounding these treatments.

Looking forward to seeing you all Sunday...

Tim
