cost.. The young ladies also have the opportunity to attend at least 2 events sponsored by Girl Scouts and AmeriCorp.


WALKING SCHOOL BUS

The Walking School Bus is an initiative that provides a safe and healthy route to school for students. The Walking School Bus program offers an alternative transportation method to get students from Lewis Lemon Elementary School and Ellis

participate in the program. The Walking School Bus program helps decrease the truancy rate of students while providing a safe way for students to get to school. Students range from

kindergarten through fifth grade.

Togetherhood is a YMCA initiative that invites Y members to activate their social responsibility by participating in the Y’s cause to strengthen community. This initiative provides Y members with fun, convenient and rewarding ways to give

back and support their neighbors through member– generated service projects and other charitable endeavors.

Togetherhood serves to bring the Y back to its roots as a volunteer–powered association of people who wish

to make a difference.We are currently seeking Y members who wish to serve

their community. We have a variety of ways to get involved in the Togetherhood initiative, and we strongly encourage our members to learn more. Check out all the

various volunteer opportunities we have at www.rockriverymca.org/volunteers.

Call 779-500-0800 or email [email protected] to volunteer or receive more information regarding Togetherhood.

ROCKFORD SERVICE CORPS

Do you want to make an impact and get things done in your community? AmeriCorps programs do more than

move communities forward; they serve their members by creating jobs and providing pathways to opportunity for young people entering the workforce. AmeriCorps places

thousands of young adults into intensive service positions where they learn valuable work skills, earn money for

education, and develop an appreciation for citizenship.

The Y is currently seeking community members to become part of our AmeriCorps service program. Individuals work

with a diverse group of children and teens through various types of service work, such as mentorship, community

service projects and many others.

AmeriCorps members will work on a part–time basis for a one year service term and some will receive a monthly living stipend and all will receive an educational award to be used for future or current educational costs upon the completion of service. This is a great way for students and recent grads to gain new skills and professional

experience, serve their community and build their resumes.

PRAYER BOX

We invite you to share your concerns with us so we can support you in prayer. We have placed a box in the lobby

at the Northeast Family YMCA, one in the Puri Family YMCA lobby, and one just off the lobby on the way to the main gym at the SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA. There you can anonymously drop off any prayer requests you might

have. There is no limit to how many requests you may make. A team of pray-ers, including the Y chaplains will pray

regularly over these requests. Strict confidentiality will be adhered to.

CHAPLAIN TEAM

We now have a growing team of volunteer chaplains to serve you, available to any Y member, staff, or guest. If you have something on your mind, need prayer, or just

want someone to talk to, let us know. Our chaplains are mostly local pastors, or people engaged in ministry in the community. If you have a need, we will connect you to one

of the team. We are also willing to volunteer to help in any area of need that we can.

DEVOTIONS

We send out a weekly, brief devotion to all staff, and offer it to anyone else who wants it. Just contact Gary to be

added to the email list.

To get information about what is available, to suggest an idea, or to share a concern or prayer

request, contact: Gary Schwerin, Spiritual Development Minister,

at 815.985.8796 or [email protected] or visit www.rockriverymca.org.

PRAYER GATHERING

There is a time for community prayer every Wednesday morning from 7am-8:30am at the Log Lodge of the

SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA. All are welcome. It is a drop in event, so come for as long or as short as you

like. From June through August we move the prayer time to Anderson Gardens to accommodate other use of the Lodge.

PARTNERSHIPS

We realize that we cannot accomplish all we hope to in the area of Christian spiritual development by ourselves. That is why we are always seeking to build partnerships with congregations, ministries, and individuals who share our passion and heart for this. For example, Campus Life meets in the SwedishAmerican Y facility, and Crossroads Kids Clubs partner with our after school programs in sev-

eral locations. We desire to make our facilities available to you and your congregation or ministry if you have a class or outreach or ministry that would be well served by being

in the Y. Contact us with your ideas.
