VBS 2011
VBS - I remember the days of Josephine Pentecostal Church, in Virginia.
My grandmother that just passed away, would take me to every year. I recall some of the lessons, but mostly the crafts. Even more vivid, the love I had for the teachers. My aunt Darlene and great aunt Denise, would take us, teach our class, and make wonderful memories with us. I still can remember the smell of Elmer's glue because of that! The love and excitement that filled the air was contagious, and children, from all over the community would come together, once a year for this fantastic week.
My how times have changed, and my how they haven't. Seeing the excitement that is contagious in those little kids eyes, is still a wonder to behold. At CLC this week, we're giving those moments to away for a new generation to experience. We invite you to come see the wonder known in our culture as....VBS (Vacation Bible School). Monday through Thursday, with a SPECIAL FINALE this Friday! It's all begins at 7 p.m. each night! See ya here! ....Yes, this year, even I have a part each night!

SECOND CHANCE
MISSED MOMENTS.
Far too often, we miss 'moments'. God moments. Divine appointments. Moments of intimacy with God's hand, plan, purpose and power. This past Sunday, we almost missed another 'moment' with God.
However, as a determined congregation, with a heart after God, God gave us a SECOND TIME CHANCE.
WE DIDN'T MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY!! The altar was filled with hunger hearts, as God blessed us one and all! If you missed it, then you just missed it!!
Worship with us soon, and whether in your car, your home, at work, or at worship, pay attention! Don't miss the God moments in your life!!

Mother's Day
Mother's Day is such a special day. Not only for Mother's, but for the entire family. It serves as a wonderful opportunity to show honor and appreciation to our God, for the the person who was an agent of His will in us being born.
Regardless of your plight on Mother's day, perhaps you have an amazing, Godly mother; or perhaps she is already passed from this life, or perhaps you have never met your biological mother, and so long to do so, God saw fit to allow her the gift of you, and you the gift of her. Maybe you are a woman, longing for the gift of giving life, and have not yet had the privilege. Let me encourage you to be thankful for what you have, and the lives that you currently speak 'life' into, each and every day.
Be thankful this Mother's day. As it is with my mother and mother-in-law, it's not what you 'get them' for a holiday or special occasion that really matters, it's that you have given them a place in your heart, always and forever. As my mother would say, I still love you... 'a bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck'. Enjoy your Mother's day, in whatever state you find yourself in. Be thankful to God, that you are alive, and have experienced the gift of a Mother.

EASTER 2011
EASTER SEASON IS HERE!
We are thrilled about Spring being here, and celebrating the Resurrection of Risen Savior!
We are also excited about our newest Outreach, THE POWER OF EASTER.
An outdoor presentation of the life and times of Jesus Christ. This is designed to be a
'Drive Thru' gospel message, knowing that many will be familiar with the story, and many
will 'see it' for the first time. Our goals are clear.
1. To reach as many in our community and possible with the Gospel of Christ.
2. To expose Jesus to those who would NOT come inside the walls of the church.
3. To employ as many CLC members as possible, to portraying the message of the Gospel.
It's not too late to be a part. Simply sign up today at CLC, call the office, or attend the MINISTRY
STRATEGY MEETING THIS SUNDAY AT 6 PM, here at the church (during Power Hour).
