LIFE GOES ON

If you are struggling with

the loss of a loved one,

please join with Patsy

Winderweedle as we

meet to support each

other while coping with

the changes and feelings.

Our June meetings will

be on Mondays June

2nd, 16th, 23rd and 30th at

3 p.m. at the church.

Contact

Patsy Winderweedle at

1-760-927-0644.

Sunday Fellowship Hour after

both 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. services is

a time for all parishioners to so-

cialize with friends and welcome

visitors. This is an opportunity for

us to show newcomers what a

friendly church family we are.

We need people to sign up on

the refreshment sheet on the bulle-

tin board in the Parish Hall. When

you sign up to support our Fel-

lowship Hour with refreshments,

you will be making coffee and/or

other beverages, providing and

setting out goodies and healthy

snacks, and cleaning up after-

wards. Cleaning up isn’t an exten-

sive job—just rinsing the coffee

pots, turning off the coffee maker,

and removing any remaining food.

If you haven’t done it before, ask

someone at the Vestry table for

assistance. Your help is greatly

appreciated. If you have any ques-

tions, please don’t hesitate to con-

tact Jeanne Bryson, your Fellow-

ship Committee Chair, either via e

-mail at jbryson46@yahoo.com or

by phone (760) 220-1317.

“I think growing older is both

funny and sad, but mostly it

just makes me grateful to be

alive and able to reflect. I have

been an Episcopal priest for 33

years and have had extensive

experience in ministering with

the elderly. Now, I am growing

old myself. I hate it when people

are ashamed of being old. We

should be proud!”

Barbara Cawthorne Crafton

Scholarship ● Character ● Community.

It is June. School is drawing to a close after an eventful year. Thank you to everyone

who has been involved with our school this year.

St. Timothy's Prep. is a wonderful place to have your children. Our children start

public speaking in kindergarten and continue to build confidence and leadership quali-

ties as they progress through our school.

Our students have compassion for others and a good moral background. Academics

are rigorous as is homework. St. Tim's students are praised for their politeness and in-

telligence on every public outing (field trips, camp, singing engagements, etc.) A St.

Timothy's education gives your child the start they need to achieve.

We will be busy the 1st two weeks in June. Tuesday, June 3rd our 6th graders will be

holding International Day. The rest of the school will travel country to country with their passports learning

about each 6th graders' country and its traditions, religions, foods, dress, and more. On Thursday the 5th, we

will have our traditional Volunteers' Chapel where we honor all the parents and friends who have taken their

time to help at our school. Friday the 6th our pre-k class, dressed in caps and gowns, will have their graduation

ceremony. On Saturday, June 7th our family picnic is scheduled from 2 to 6:00 at Corwin Park. Our 8th graders

(the first class in three years) will be graduating at 10:00 on Tuesday, June 10th. We are very proud of them,

and we know that they are well prepared for high school. Wednesday, June 11th is our K- 7th grade promotion

at 8:30 a.m. Then it is time for summer vacation. Students all have summer reading assignments and our

teachers sign up to man the computer lab on Wednesdays so they can come in and take Reading Counts tests.

Have a wonderful summer! See you in August.

Janis Carlile Head of School

The 3rd/4th graders raised $1,190.00 for the Pacific

Marine Mammal Center by offering sandwich lunches

during the school year, wrapping calendars for a local

businessman, and from donations made by family

and friends. They were supported in their lunch program by Overland Meat Co. who provided the sandwich-

es at a very reasonable cost, permitting a higher profit margin.

Earlier in the school year, the class collected supplies for P.M.M.C. that totaled over $400.This is the second

year that this class has helped the P.M.M.C. as their service project. This year their efforts were recognized

with an invitation from the PMMC to a release of rehabilitated marine mammals back into the ocean on

June 9th! Well done and CONGRATULATIONS!
