Our Year
in Review
A Summer of Service Our youth and children will lead off the summer with many exciting service projects! We will be spending our time on Sunday mornings learning and practicing generous service for our families and friends, community and world. Because Jesus loves us and has given us so much, we are free to be generous and loving towards others. Many of our Sunday projects are in partnership with larger CLC initiatives. Some of our projects (hygiene kits, school supply back packs and AIDS caregiver kits) require materials which we have purchased through World Vision.
The total cost for these materials is $3000 and we are hoping children and families can donate funds towards this amount. Our CLC kingdom fund will match the amount raised by our families. We will need adults to supervise and help each week. Contact Pastor Cheryl with your available Sunday dates. We are asking each adult who does not regularly help in children’s or youth ministry to volunteer one or two weeks this summer.

Mentoring: Pass it forward! We are blessed this summer to have 4 of our own young women share their gifts and time with us. These ladies will be serving our children, mentoring and sharing faith with them in various ways. They will also be invited to meet with Pastor Cheryl to encourage their own growth and discipleship. Kristin Koyama will lead our pre-school kids on Sunday mornings. She will plan mornings of stories, crafts and snacks focusing on being loved by God and loving others. This is Kristin’s second year as our summer pre-school teacher. Kristin is a sophomore at Cal Poly San Louis Obispo. Michelle Kaneda and Jennifer Tong will be helping the elementary kids and youth with our Summer Service Sundays. They will also be hosting “Girls Love God” discipleship and fellowship events for girls grades 3-8. Most gatherings will be on Sunday afternoon. A schedule will be coming soon! Michelle and Jennifer are UC Davis Aggies and will be serving in AACF leadership next year. Lauren Chin will lend her considerable artistic talent to help produce a “Chibi” Bible time line for our classrooms! Lauren studies animation at San Jose State. Please keep these ladies in prayer throughout the summer and offer them your thanks and encouragement.
“I love that Sunday School is a time solely devoted to thinking about God. I am
thankful that all my teachers are loving and caring.” Sammy

“I like work time because I like to draw. My favorite parable is
the Mustard Seed. I think Teacher Li-Mei’s favorite parable
is the Good Shepherd.” Emi
“I like work time because I like to do crafts. I like all the parables because of the different colors and I get to find new things about Jesus. All my teachers dress very pretty. I like my teachers because they pray, read well and are fun.” Charis

Special Thanks from Pastor Cheryl… So many thanks for a great year! I am extremely grateful for the wonderful team of adult mentors who work with our kids. We have 13 pre-school and elementary school leaders who commit to serving our kids through storytelling and prayerful leadership twice each month. And an additional 5 leaders commit once each month. Our toddlers are cared for by 13 leaders. That is a total of 31 adult leaders to serve our 58 kids! Highlights this year include one of our early elementary boys doing a series of “Jonah” art work in various mediums, our young pre-schoolers sharing their favorite stories in their own words using materials from the shelves and our older kids working together to illustrate the 12 biblical Stations of the Cross. Many of our victories are small and private - one of our youngest has made great progress in joining the circle of children. And two of our early elementary children have finally settled into a pattern of regular meaningful work. We have welcomed visitors, celebrated sports victories, commiserated over losses and exclaimed over lost teeth. We have prayed together for family and friends and learned together about needs and service opportunities around the world. Thank you so very much to each adult leader who serves and nurtures the faith of our children. May you know deep joy as you hear Jesus say to you …”well done, good and faithful servant”.
