Local elections are taking place, signaling a sense of change and hope on the horizon, though true hope is emphasized to be found only in Christ.Summer Plans at Hope Evangelical Church:Couples Conference: This conference will focus on strengthening family and marriage relationships for both married and engaged couples.

The cut to federal budgets may be impacting more than just the bottom line this summer as many afterschool and summer programs are facing closure due to this freeze of their funding. This leaves many parents and children scrambling for a plan as parents try to find a backup plan. Now nearly two dozen democratic states are suing the Trump administration's Department of Education and Office of Management and Budget for withholding over 6 billion dollars in federal funding for educational funding.

Tuesday was the start of the new fiscal year and schools across the country were expecting to receive funding already allocated by Congress, to the tune of nearly $7 billion for summer programs, after school programs and teacher training. Instead, on Monday, the Education Department sent an email to state education agencies notifying them that the money would not be coming. Greg and Holly explore what this could mean for kids in Utah with Superintendent of the Granite School District, Ben Horsley. 

This blogcast explores “Everything Is Yours" written and read by Brian Rhude.In this blog post, reflects on the Suscipe prayer that reminds us that all that we possess is a gift from God and we have the ability to return it so he can do with it as he wills. Among the many great things that St. Ignatius gave the Church including the Society itself, which has produced many great Saints, and the Spiritual Exercises, Ignatius also gave us a prayer called the Suscipe. As short and simple of a prayer as the Suscipe is, it is equally as powerful. Essential to Ignatius' spirituality is the fact that all human beings are creatures created by God and are in need of his great mercy and love and that everything we experience in our lives is a gift from God. The Suscipe is, in my estimation, the perfect product of this essential factor of Ignatius' spirituality. Ignatius' prayer goes like this: Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding,and my entire will, All I have and call my own.You have given all to me.To you, Lord, I return it.Everything is yours; do with it what you will.Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.​As creatures, everything that we are and everything that we have is from God, our creator. Our liberty, memory, understanding, will, possessions, gifts, and talents — every good thing in our lives is a gift from God. The problem is that we, as humans, tend to think that we have done all the good things in our lives. While we certainly have to cooperate with God's grace, all things are still reliant on his grace. Everything in this world will eventually pass away. Our good looks, quick wit, great intellect, ability to play an instrument, cook great food, or hit a golf ball 350 yards will pass away at some point in our lives. What do we do when we can no longer rely on our physical or mental ability? We can certainly shrivel up into a proverbial ball and pout that our life is over. But life in Christ leads us another direction, the direction of the Suscipe. This direction points us to grace and the necessity of grace in our lives. Even when all the other good things in our lives are gone, God's grace will remain. God's grace will sustain us when nothing else can and will be there when everything else fades away. Let's have the courage to rely solely on God's grace which is all that we need. Author:Brian Rhude is the Project Coordinator for the Catholic Apostolate Center where he works in developing Center programming, assists in updating and creating new resources on the Center's website, collaborates on the development of social media content, and provides other services and collaborates including participation at and facilitation of various events and conferences.

In this episode, Lisa and Cindy discuss:Summer programs as a college & career exploration toolEnhancing college applications through summer experiencesThe rise of STEM programs & growing competitionChoosing the right summer program & avoiding misleading claimsKey Takeaways: Deadlines for selective summer programs are often in January or early February, with some as early as November and a few extending into April. Families should plan ahead to secure a spot.Most summer programs on prestigious college campuses do not improve admission chances, and many are run by third-party companies rather than the universities themselves.Students should document their experiences in real-time, either through journaling or voice memos, to capture meaningful reflections that can later strengthen college essays.A handful of colleges indirectly favor applicants who attend their summer programs, but this is rarely advertised publicly. Independent educational consultants (IECs) may have insider knowledge of which programs provide an admissions edge.“If you took the summer off, didn't explore that interest, applied to that major at a college specializing in it—then found out you didn't like it… now you're a year or two in, money spent, and thinking—wait, I want to change my mind. For me, the biggest value is confirming interests or ruling them out.” – Cindy McCormickAbout Cindy McCormick: Cindy McCormick is a dedicated college advisor who helps high school students find their best-fit universities.
