Sunday School Is Back
Come One! Come All! Sunday School has begun. Ryan Humphrey and Lori Fagan will again be leading the charge and they have some really exciting activities planned for this year. If you are interested in having your child/children attend this year, please call the church office or register online.
Contemporary Worship Is Back
Life Lessons from Ted Lasso. This is our contemporary series starting this fall. We will be using the critically acclaimed comedy-drama series to help us reflect on life and our faith. The series will begin with BELIEVE – faith when you don’t have all the answers. You are encouraged to join us for this informative series. We are also in need of some people to help with the power point presentations. If you are able to help out please see Pastor Jim ASAP.
Bible Study
The Thursday bible study will start a new season with the book The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. It is about a senior demon, Screwtape, who is writing advice and temptation to his nephew Wormwood to lead a young man away from God. You are encouraged to purchase the book and start reading. Classes will begin on September 24, at 3pm. All are encouraged to sign in. No prior knowledge is needed.
Healing Service
Back by popular demand we will be offering a time during the distribution of communion for anointing, laying on of hands and a brief prayer. It will be off to the side near the piano. They will be held every last Sunday of the month. Please let us know what you think.
Clothing Drive
CLC will collect gently used fall and winter clothes October 25 - Nov 1 for Helping Hand Rescue Mission. Please separate men’s, women’s and children’s items in separate 13-gallon tall kitchen bags. Put the bags on the stage. Thank you.
