SEM’s to Return

We are relaunching our church’s SEM (Summer Experience in Ministry) internship program! We’re very enthusiastic about this opportunity and confident that it will be a rich experience for the participants. The SEM interns, guided by the pastors, will join a program of action and reflection, sharing work and conversation with one another, and with children, youth, and adults of the church, exploring both “what we believe” and “how we live our faith.” SEM interns will be challenged to develop their own practical theology. There will be specific projects in ministry, occasions for leadership, invitations to be creative, chances for recreation and, every week, a conversation about what we’re learning. The SEM internship is open to CUCC members who are post-secondary students, graduating high school seniors through college. If you know of anyone who would be interested in applying for this opportunity, or have any questions, feel free to contact us directly.

Grace and peace,

The Rev. David Pattee The Rev. Josh Kuipers Senior Pastor Associate Pastor [email protected] [email protected]
