Volunteers
looking for Opportunity
Several groups of 10-12 high school students and their leaders
are looking to serve somewhere from 10am-12:30pm on Thursday, June 26th. Not
only could this be an opportunity to receive needed
service but also a growth opportunity for these
students. They are willing to do anything from cleaning to
evangelism. If your church, ministry, organization could use
the extra hands, please contact Gabe Shippam at 619-921-5048 or gabrielshippam@live.com.

Connections Housing:
Life Skills Training
On May 22
the Downtown Fellowship (DF) completed an eight session course
of Life Skills training for Connections Housing
residents. The course, taught by James Robins of the Personal
Development Institute, had an average weekly attendance
of about fifteen residents. The DF received very positive
feedback from participants and from ALPHA/PATH staff. DF members
Dick Karlson and Paul Ghizzone have supported the class, helping
with curriculum preparation and course logistics.
The class will be offered again from July 3 through July
28 and will be held twice a week rather than once a week
(Mondays and Thursdays). It is hoped that this condensed monthly
version will encourage larger and more consistent attendance.
