Youth and Children at GIPC
Middlers are traveling to work on the Pittsburgh Project this year. We at GIPC send our prayers for courage,
strength, and safe travel and hope you realize God's careful guidance as you strive to perform the tasks set before you!
For more information on the variety of available projects, please see http://pittsburghproject.org/
"Flat Jesus" Takes off! In Sunday School, GIPC children learned that Jesus is always with us. On Sunday June 7th, nearly 50 "Flat Jesus" paper dolls were given to children and adults in our congregation. This summer our entire church is taking Flat
Jesus (the idea based on " Flat Stanley" books by Jeff Brown and Mackey Pamintuan) on vacation, to the gym, to camp, and nearly 'everywhere'! Mail a picture to Jan Holmes to show where Jesus has gone with you!

York Connection
Tips For Seniors
This Old House
"This house of the body is aging. The plumbing is not dependable anymore. The electrical wiring is erratic, especially in the attic. I used to know what was up there, but now some words are missing. Sometimes the lights go off by themselves, and the whole house falls asleep. Moreover, the walls have become thicker, and the windows are a little cloudy, so I don't hear and see so well. The whole place is a leaning a little. And no matter how many times I wash and repaint the façade, it still looks wrinkled and out-of-date."
"Isn't the truth more that your body may be aging but your space, [the place] where your experience really happens, is just as healthy as ever? Which is more central to your life experience, your body or your spaciousness? The common view is that you are your body, and you are falling apart: I am inside this, this is my body and this is who I am. The contemplative view is that your body is within the space of you: I am here, this is my space and this here-ness is who I am. To find relief from aging and come closer to God, try taking the spacious view."
- Rev. Wesley Lachman, Central Presbyterian Church/ Eugene, Oregon
