Announcements Community BBQ & Potluck We are planning a community BBQ/potluck lunch as a fun church family event, as well as a way to reach out to our community. Please invite your neighbors and friends. We will once again invite children from our church and neighborhood to come for an evening of fun while their much-deserving parents enjoy a date night or just time to run some errands. Friday, June 16 6:30–9:00 p.m. Church Lower Level Children ages 6 months through 11 years are invited to enjoy games, stories, and snacks in a safe, supervised environment. Young parents may enjoy a night out without paying for childcare. The rest of us—ages 12 and up—will have the opportunity to serve the young families by volunteering to help with registration, preparing and serving snacks, or playing with/caring for the children. You may register your children or volunteer at the table in the Foyer. Questions may be directed to Dora van der Giessen. Thank you for serving our community in this way!
Sunday, June 25 at 11:30 a.m. Church Lower Level Hamburgers and hotdogs will be provided. Even though we don't want our guests to bring anything, we ask that you bring a side dish, salad or dessert—with enough to share. There are invitation postcards available in the Foyer so you can invite your friends and neighbors. If you are able to help with set-up on Saturday evening, June 24, please contact Mike Vedders. Street Clean-Up - June 24 It's time again for our annual Street Clean-Up event. This outreach event helps to spruce up our street (25th Ave.), and it gives us an opportunity to interact with our neighbors. It also is a good way to get some exercise! If you interested in participating, contact Wayne Clousing. Once we know who can participate, we will establish a timeframe.
Laptop Computer Needed Do you have an extra laptop at home that is no longer needed? The Council is seeking a laptop computer to support various functions within Council meetings and other Church Office duties. It would be very helpful if the laptop already has Windows 7 or 10 installed. If you can help, please contact either Clarence Deelstra or Wayne Clousing. We appreciate your prayerful consideration and your generosity!

Getting Connected We encourage you to get connected with a community group for fellowship and mutual support. It is far too easy to simply come to church on Sunday and then slip out. We want to get to know you better, so join us! If you would like more information about any group, please contact the Church Office.
Cadets (Boys grades 3-6) The goal of Cadeting is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social. The Cadets are currently on summer break, and will resume in September. GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior), a club for girls in grades 3-6, meets during the school year on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Our activities include Bible lessons, praise/ worship, badges, crafts and other fun things. The girls are enjoying summer break, and will meet again in the Fall. MAC (Made Alive in Christ) MAC Junior High students meet together most Wednesdays during the academic year. Come join the fun at 7:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. We've concluded our year, be we will see you in September! High School Youth Group During the school year, we meet on the first and third Sundays each month at 6:00 pm. We have a meal together and get caught up on each other's lives before learning about discipleship in Christ. We are done for the year, but look forward to a new year together in the Fall.
Couples' Club (for Couples of All Ages) This groups meets one Saturday evening per month from October through May. We are currently on summer break, but we look forward to seeing you in the Fall. If you would like to learn more about this group, you may contact the Church Office. Men’s Bible Study The Men’s Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room. We will continue to meet during the summer months, focusing on 2nd Timothy. Women's Morning Bible Study Meeting from September through May on most Thursday mornings, we gather to study the Word and encourage one another. We've now concluded the year, and will be enjoying a few months off during the summer. See you in the Fall! Women’s Evening Bible Study The Women's Monday Evening Bible Study has wrapped up the year of studying Colossians and Philemon. After a summer break, we will reconvene in September. We look forward to reconnecting then and starting up a new study!
Grow Groups (Adults) Grow Groups meet once a month in various homes every third Sunday from September through May. Now on hiatus, we look forward to seeing you in September.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
