Good Morning, Church Family!

In celebration of all that God is doing in and through CLP Youth, lets consider their guiding Scripture from Mission Camp and see what God's does in our own hearts:

Monday

Matthew 5:16
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

• How can we actively let our light shine before others in our daily lives, reflecting God's glory?
• Are there specific good works or acts of kindness we can engage in to fulfill this Scripture?

Tuesday

1 Timothy 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

• How can the older members of the church support and encourage the younger generation in their faith journey?

Wednesday

Matthew 25:40
“And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’’

Mark 9:35
And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” 

• In what ways do these Scriptures challenge us to serve and prioritize the needs of others, especially those who are marginalized or less fortunate?

Thursday

Isaiah 58:10
Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness.

• How can we, as a church community, actively engage in feeding the hungry and helping those in trouble to make our light shine in the darkness?

Friday

1 Peter 4:10

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace.

• What are some unique gifts or talents within our church family, and how can we encourage one another to use them for serving others and stewarding God's grace?

May we be a community that radiates the light of Christ through our actions! May our youth be inspired by our example and learn to follow Jesus with faith and integrity. May we have ears to hear and eyes to see the suffering and feel the Spirit's guidance to use our diverse gifts to glorify God. As we do so, our collective light will shine even brighter, drawing others to give glory to our Father in heaven. Together, we can bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth, and the world will know us by our love and service.

Keep shining, Church Family!

Join us for a nutritious and delicious meal with all the fixings and dessert before we head to adult studies (Thrive!), children's choir (CLP Kids Choir), the children's worship service (Overflow!), and choir rehearsal.

At CLP, we value commUNITY! 

We are so very excited to begin CLP KIDS Choir!! Open to kids in Kinder-5th grades. Starting September 13 2023 we will meet Wednesdays from 5:35-6pm in the Overflow room (Classroom 4). Diana Walker will be leading this choir along with other volunteers (if you'd like to volunteer we'd love the help!!). We plan to sing during services and possibly out in the community for certain events. Right after CLP KIDS choir we will begin OVERFLOW for Kids at 6pm.

We’ve got a great lineup of topics and leaders planned for the 2023-2024 Thrive (Bible Study) season. Pastor Lynne will be kicking things off with a four-week study based on her Israel study trip. Rob Gimbl follows with The Call by Adam Hamilton for the next seven weeks. Brenda Houlihan and Pastor Lynne will be tag-teaming to offer a prayer study the final three weeks before our winter break. Pastor Kris will be kicking things off in January 2024 with a two-week study on the Duality of Sin.  Kathy Broom will be following that with a two-week study from her Israel study trip with Karoline Lewis. After spring break, Brenda Houlihan will be leading a three-week Lenten study, and between the spring break and Holy Week breaks, we hope to have a guest from the PW Heritage Society or AZ Humanities. The final seven weeks of the season will be determined later. We hope you choose to Thrive with us.

Our handbell choirs are made up of wonderful people just like you. Some of them couldn't read a bit of music when they started, but our Bell Master, Marilyn, taught them what they needed to know. You are invited to call Marilyn or leave word in the church office if you would like to be a part of either of the choirs. All of us would love to have you join us!

Love to sing? Join the Chancel Choir and support the 8am and 9:15am worship services! We rehearse each Wednesday at 6:30pm in the sanctuary. All are welcome!

Thank you to our 26 volunteers who packed 2196 boxes for St. Mary's Food Bank last Saturday!
