Many thanks to all of the teachers and students for their creativity and hard work on this wonderful new part of our children's ministry here at Third Presbyterian Church!

CAMP CORY—AUGUST 19-22, 2002.
Save the date!! Camp Cory is an overnight choir camp that the Junior Choir has been involved in for the past 6 years. At the camp the children join with children's choirs from 5 other area churches in four days of singing, drama, handbells, games, swimming, and fun. This camp experience has been invaluable in building the spirit and excellence in our choir. The Camp is for all the children who will be in grades 4-6 next September and who are interested in being in the Junior Choir in the fall. This year's sixth graders are also eligible to attend. The cost this year will be about
$100 per camper. Scholarship money is available. More specific information will be sent out in the next couple of weeks.
CAMP CORY MEETING—SUNDAY, JUNE 9 AT 10:00 A.M. IN THE CHAPEL
Parents and children are encouraged to attend this information meeting about Camp Cory. Registration materials will be handed out at this time. New campers especially are encouraged to attend.
JUNE 16TH IS TEACHER RECOGNITION SUNDAY
We will be thanking our teachers for all they do on Sunday, June 16th during the 10:30am worship service. Why not take this opportunity to thank your teachers with a note or card to let them know how much you appreciate all that they have taught you this year?
THE CHILDREN'S BELL CHOIR
Because of the musical, the Children's Bell Choir did not meet for the second half of the year. The choir will regroup in the fall and will meet from 5:00-5:30 P.M. on Wednesdays. All children in the Junior Choir are eligible but preference will be given to 5th and 6th graders. The choir is limited to 8 ringers. Be thinking now if this is something you would like to participate in for next fall.
