Speaking this week is Mic Henton, asking "Why is it so hard to follow Jesus?" Communion Sabbath is a weird one. We admit we're all a little screwed up, and then we're surprised when someone else's dirt gets on us. This week we're going to sit with that paradox and ask what it actually looks like to follow Jesus into the mess.

In anticipation of Communion this Sabbath, let's prepare our hearts and minds for this sacred time.

You are invited to attend the Forks and Friendship potluck hosted by Renata Richardson’s team. Visitors, please come as our guests. CVC members, please plan to contribute enough food to feed your family plus six others.

Upcoming potlucks:
July 4 - No potluck over the holiday weekend
July 11 - All Church potluck hosted by Trista Ybarra’s team
July 18 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Gerrie Eddy’s team
July 25 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Terrie Bartzatt’s team

Church Family Pool Day & Picnic: Join us for a fun-filled summer morning together at the Steinhart Aquatic Center!

Please sign up to bring a side to share at this link here. Bring your towels, sunscreen, lawn chairs, and a friend as we enjoy laughter, connection, and summer fun together. Save the date now — we look forward to this wonderful time of fellowship and community with our church family! For more information, email cecilia.liversidge@collegeviewchurch.org.

We have had a great response to our visiting and singing at a few of the local care facilities this spring. We have been asked to return and will be bringing Summer Sunshine to residents at three facilities on Sabbath, July 18, at 2:30pm. If you would like to play the guitar, sing, or help distribute flowers, please contact Linda Becker at Linda.becker@ucollege.edu. 

CANVAS meets again this Sabbath at 6pm for its 2nd installment of season 3, "Walking with the Son: Common Table." We will continue to explore what it means to remain in Jesus — living, listening, and moving with Him in community. Come see how God will speak to our community next, and bring a friend. See you there!

Woodland Acres vespers is this Sabbath, June 27 at 7pm! Please join us in listening to a beautiful message as we close out the Sabbath together. Come a little early, bring your supper, and enjoy the cool green and the song birds. Everyone is welcome! (Our next vespers will be on July 11 and every two weeks during the summer.)

Our Breakfast Ministry is looking for friendly faces who enjoy welcoming others, sharing a meal, and helping create a warm and inviting church community.

Whether you can help regularly or occasionally, your presence can make a meaningful difference. For more information or to get involved, please contact Cecilia Liversidge as soon as possible at 310.699.3521. Together, let’s create a place where everyone feels seen, welcomed, and valued.

Purity Recovery: Struggling with sexual habits you want to change can feel isolating, but you’re not alone. If you’re looking for a safe, confidential place to find freedom, build healthier patterns, and grow in your faith, we invite you to join our support class. It’s designed for those who want encouragement, accountability, and a path forward grounded in hope. If this sounds like the support you’ve been needing, reach out to Ty Dreamer at 402.480.5401 for details.  And, ladies, if you are struggling with pornography or unwanted sexual behaviors or are in a relationship with someone who is and need support, Holly will also be launching a support group for women called Betrayal & Beyond. Freedom is possible, and we’re here to walk with you.

Adopt-a-Spot is alive and well and we thank all those who have chosen their piece of the church to help keep clean. As we all find our special respective spots in the church, we all gain a new appreciation for what it takes to create a positive first impression for visitors and what can happen to such a big facility when we all work together. Sign up at the Ministry Gallery. Please pick your spot, involve your whole family, and help us keep God's house looking good.

Beginner I Sabbath School collects canned food labels from the brands of Worthington, Loma Linda, and Caroline. All UPC codes from these can products begin with 45561. Only the can labels can be collected (not the frozen packaging labels). We use these labels in our SS program and then turn them in to the food companies for $0.25 per label. We would be GRATEFUL for your participation! Just remove the entire label from your canned foods, place them in a bag and leave them by the Beginner I SS door or at the church office. Thank you!

The Kindergarten-1st Grade classroom collects a special offering and donations to support Ali’s Closet at the Good Neighbor Community Center. Ali’s Closet focuses on the needs of children of all ages. This quarter, we are collecting non-perishable food, especially easy items for kids to fix on their own during the summer. In early July, the GNCC will bring the box truck with a lift to show the class how they pick up and drop off pallets of food. We invite you to join us in sharing God’s love and blessings with our Lincoln neighbors. Food can be dropped off by the office or in the lobby by the west elevator. Thank you from K-1!

Organ restoration update: Forty thousand dollars is needed to fully fund the organ restoration. There is a dollar-to-dollar matching gift for all donations through August. Donate if you can! All size gifts really make a difference. Thank you! Questions? See Keith Riese.
