July - Dive in at CHPC!
Jul 1, 2025
Heather Lethander
Dive into July!It has been really hot lately! I can really tell that we are approaching mid-summer, and it's not surprising that a lot of our activities this month center around WATER! Our Swim Ministry is in full swing, teaching children and adults the life-saving skills of swimming. Did you know that many of our participants receive scholarships so that those vital lessons are available to all? The lessons are getting pretty full, but there may still be space. Our family ministries are also enjoying some cool water with splash pad fun at a picnic at Clippard Park. This is a great opportunity for our new friends from Connections Camp to hang out and meet our families. Finally, there's one more chance for camp at 3Cs' annual day camp which has the theme of "Oceans" this year. Tuition for this camp helps to provide scholarships during the school year for our 3Cs students. We also have great spiritual opportunities for healing and growth through a Prayer Service, Outside Prayer & Coffee and a parent/student retreat. There's something for everyone, so dive in, the water is great at CHPC! |

Swim Ministry - Swimming Instruction with an Eternal Difference July 14-18 and July 28-Aug 1 - Youth Instruction at North Hills Swim Club July 7-11 and July 21-25 - Adult Instruction at Twin Towers Wellness Connection The Goal of the CHPC Swim Ministry is to equip students for what the American Red Cross describes as ‘survival’ swimming. An integral part of such survival is being relaxed and confident in the water so that swimming is fun. Our focus is not on speed or beautiful swimming. We prepare students for a lifetime relationship with water, including the Living Water, Jesus Christ…the rest will follow. REGISTER and get info at www.chpc.org/swim |

To contribute, please make a special donation to CHPC and designate it for the Verhagens with the word DRY on your check or online donation. Please note these donations are not tax-deductible. We will then pass it on to them! www.chpc.org/dry |
