Here's a video message from Pastor Tich Dzinotywei to Pastor Ted, given at Ted's installation this past Sunday.  Ted and Tich first met at The Theological College of Zimbabwe (TCZ). Pictured back in the day is Pastor Ted with Tich, Fibion, and Harold, three standout TCZ alumni who have gone on to impact the world in significant ways for God's Kingdom in the countries of Botswana, Mozambique, and Zambia.

Join Us for The Festival@CLP on November 3!

We need the church to unite and serve during this fall celebration and invitation to the local community. Come join us for a burger, brat, or hot dog, and then serve a shift with fellowship (food), CLP Kids (crafts and games), The Shop@CLP, missions booths, photo station, or sanctuary tours. 

Start your day with our 10 AM worship service (including communion and blessing of the animals)  on the front lawn, followed by a fun-filled celebration! Enjoy live music, lunch prepared by our Fellowship team, games and activities for kids, mission booths, and sanctuary tours. We’ll also have a photographer on-site to take individual and family photos as we work toward creating a new, photo-filled church directory.

This event coincides with the City of Litchfield Park’s annual Arts and Crafts Fair, and we hope our neighbors will stop by and get to know us better! Everyone is welcome—come celebrate with us!

Everyone is welcome to attend the Congregational Q & A on Sunday, October 27 at 11 am in Souers Community Hall.  To help the board and pastors research and prepare their responses, please let us know in advance what's on your heart.  We'd like to know how we are doing in equipping you, the congregation, for our work as ministers of Christ.  Therefore, not only would we like to hear questions and concerns, but affirmations and gratitudes as well.

Please prayerfully submit your questions, concerns, affirmations, and gratitudes using the button below, or put them in the box at the rear of the sanctuary.  Thank you!

We invite you to donate new or gently used and laundered undergarments for both men and women. Socks are also warmly welcomed! Your generous contributions will support the Agua Fria Food and Clothing Bank, providing essential comfort and dignity to those in need within our community.

Bring them to church on Sunday, October 27, during the 8:30 or 10:00 service. 

Women@CLP Gathering: Movie, Fellowship, and Blessing Bracelets!

Join us on November 2, from 12:30 to 3:00 PM, for a special Women@CLP gathering as we come together to watch the heartwarming Hallmark movie, The Blessing Bracelet.

The Blessing Bracelet tells the story of Dawn Spencer, a single mother who is struggling to balance her life while dealing with the debt left behind by her ex-husband. As she approaches Easter, feeling overwhelmed, Dawn finds a bracelet she made years ago with four beads, each representing a blessing in her life. By focusing on these blessings, Dawn's faith is renewed, and she experiences a positive transformation. With the support of her church community and the encouragement of a new friend, Ben, Dawn's journey takes a beautiful and unexpected turn.

Watch a preview here: https://youtu.be/Z7_eknR6C6Q?si=9bT9Mwqx9hXxUqPU

While the movie is set around Easter, we hope its message inspires us to focus on "Our Many Blessings" as we move into the busy holiday season.

There is a $5 fee for this event to cover the cost of bracelet resources, and each attendee will leave with their own blessing bracelet. Additional bracelet kits will also be available, so you can share this beautiful expression of faith and gratitude with friends and family.

This event will include an appetizer potluck—bring your favorite appetizer to share, and we'll provide the movie snacks!

Come relax, enjoy fellowship, and leave inspired to embrace this season of thankfulness and blessings!
