PSP Bible Reading Program Your family is invited to join others from the PSP who will read
through God’s Word in one year. Beginning June 1st, we will kick-off our annual DAILY Bible reading plan
—adaptable to various ages. Three tracks are available to download for individuals, parents, students,
and/or family devotions.
Premier Track: Read through the entire Bible in chronological order—only about 15-20 minutes of
reading each day. (CIF course credit for high school students may be earned for completing this track)
Intermediate Track: Read through either the Old Testament or the New Testament—about 25 verses a
day, taking only about five minutes.
Primary Track: (For Early Readers) Read a new theme every month— about 5 verses a day.

Newsletter email. Please refer to the Class Descriptions for needed books and materials. Teachers will be
contacting students in by early August with more information on individual Campus Day classes.
Teachers needed: We are still in need of a Lego Robotics teacher. We also need a Photography coteacher for 4th period (2-3 pm). Contact Shelley Gillette for more information.
Prayer Groups
PSP Prayer Groups We will have a Prayer Group Leadership Committee for next year that consists of
Heather Evans, Pam Palmgren, and Susie Schneider. They will be working on plans for an effective and
encouraging Prayer and Care Group time at our TEEM meetings. Men Wanted! We are blessed every month to have a handful of dads attend the TEEM (PEM) meetings. In
an effort to support and encourage them, we would like to have a Dads' Prayer Group Leader. This dad will
serve in the same capacity as all of the other Prayer Group Leaders, which will require them to attend the
TEEMs regularly and facilitate prayer time with the other men that attend that evening. Because the group of
men who attend the meetings are not usually consistent (often filling in for their wives when needed), the
group will likely change every meeting. Therefore, the Dads' Prayer Group Leader will need to be comfortable
pulling together a group of men who may not have met before and leading them into a time of sharing and
prayer. This is a tough call, but we KNOW the right man is in our group! Please e-mail Heather
Evans at dchfamily@comcast.net if you might be interested in serving this way.
