June 2016A Note From Your CoordinatorsHappy June, Everyone!
Can’t believe it is June already! It didn’tseem that long ago when we were scrapingsnow off our vehicles. We welcome thesummer with plenty to do on the calendar, andthat is especially true in the month of June.
This past month we celebrated Cinco DeMayo and also Memorial Day! We had plentyof bus trips as we took a tour of the MeyerMay house, went on a few tulip time and appleblossom ride outs, and even went to a WestMichigan Whitecaps game. We were also sadto see our friend Caitlyn go off to graduateschool in Boston. She will be missed by many.
Looking forward to the month of June, wewill get to watch performers such as the seniorstair steppers, and Chris Sloan for our monthlybirthday party. We also have Flag Day to lookforward to on the 14th of the month! A few ofthis month’s ride outs include a pizza picnic,plenty of donuts, ice cream ride outs, and atrip to the Grand Rapids Market and Herman’sBoy in Rockford.
A special thank you to all the Fathers ofAllen Springs; we hope you have a greatFather’s Day on the 19th of the month. Be sureto sign up early to secure your spot for all theactivities provided. Get outside, enjoy thesunshine, and most of all, have fun!!!
God Bless,Cory B.

Chaplain’s CornerINCREASING YOUR HOPE—
REFOCUS ON THE FUTUREWhat is your response to
discouraging circumstances in yourlife? Do you get down and staythere? Or can you pivot and refocuson the future? The Bible points usto the latter: One thing I do,forgetting what is behind, I lookforward to what is ahead. Phil. 3:13
The ability to refocus on thefuture includes a number ofbenefits. Here are two.
Benefit #1—Passion ReplacesApathy and Discouragement
Benefit #2—You ExperienceGreat Comebacks
American surfer BethanyHamilton did just that when sherefocused from the discouragementof having her surfing career endwhen her left arm was bitten off bya shark. Despite this terriblecircumstance, she decided torefocus on her future of being aprofessional surfer and
consequently learned to surf with onearm. What a comeback!
The Bible is filled with greatcomeback stories. Consider these:
• Thomas started out wracked bydoubt but ended up taking thegospel all the way to India.
• Moses did nothing significant forthe first two-thirds of his life—which I find encouraging—butended up delivering two millionpeople from centuries of slavery.
• Paul started out persecutingChristians but ended up writingthe majority of the NewTestament.
• Jesus Christ—talk about acomeback, he rose fromthe dead!
How about you? What is yourfocus on today?
