A Letter to the
Congregation
Warm greetings from the Youth room! With youth programs soon starting up, there are a plethora of ways for members of the congregation to become involved with our youth. One such way is serving with Circle and walking alongside the youth that are a part of it. If you
are interested in volunteering with Circle, in any capacity, please consider attending the adult leader training on August 20th during the formation hour. Whether it be providing a dinner for Circle or volunteering each week, your support makes a huge difference in the lives of the youth.
Confirmation Sunday is also approaching on August 27th. During this Sunday, Confirmands have the opportunity to share their testimony and experiences in Confirmation. At formation hour in the Sanctuary, each Confirmand will share their “Witness to the Church,” which
elaborates on what they have learned in Confirmation, where they have seen God, and how they will continue in their faith. Please consider attending!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at kaitlyn.jedrzejowski@clcvalpo.org.

Popcorn Fest Volunteers
With Popcorn Fest right around the corner, preparations are beginning for our annual fundraiser! The success of this fundraiser is all due to the amazing support of the CLC community! With that being said, we need your help for another successful year.
This year, we need individuals who are willing to help pre-cook the brats prior to the day of the event. The brats will be available for pick-up at the church starting September 5th. Volunteers are also needed to help set-up the booth the morning of the event. And finally, we need volunteers to help serve each of the shifts on the day of Popcorn
Fest! If any of these volunteer opportunities is of interest to you, be sure to check out the sign-up sheets, which will be posted out in the Gathering Space beginning in August.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Kaitlyn (kaitlyn.jedrzejowski@clcvalpo.org). Thank you all for supporting our fundraising efforts!
Popcorn Fest Committee
With Popcorn Fest, there will also
be the formation of the Popcorn Fest Committee. This committee will meet to plan, prepare, and organize for the day of the fest. There are various roles on the committee that cater to specific aspects of the event. The roles in need of filling are as follows:
Grillers Coordinator

The committee’s first meeting will be this August. The committee will meet each year beginning in late June and will temporarily disband in September after the Popcorn Fest. Each position on the committee will be a 2 year term. If you are interested in serving in any of these positions, please contact Kaitlyn (kaitlyn.jedrzejowski@clcvalpo.org)
