Sign up for our Friendsgiving dinner this Wednesday, November 20 at 5:15 pm. 

 Friendsgiving is an opportunity for us to reach out to people who might not have a place to go for Thanksgiving.  Who will you invite to Friendsgiving?

The Table@CLP is an intergenerational space where adults, kids, and teens can be themselves, share a meal, and grow together.  Each Wednesday from 5:15 - 6:30 pm we enjoy a free dinner, live music, a story about Jesus and conversation. 

Please continue to bring friends; let us know if, after registering, you can't make it after all. Thank you!  

All are welcome at the table, there's a place just for you.

Nov 20 FRIENDSGIVING Turkey Dinner

Nov 27: No dinner; Thanksgiving Eve service at 6:30 pm.

Men@CLP save the date.  The weather is cooling down, and it's time once again for the annual gathering at Old Pueblo on Thursday, November 21, from 5:00 - 7:00 pm.  Appetizers will be provided.

Join us for Restorative Yoga and Mindfulness followed by an optional service opportunity to make Blessing Snack Bags. These snack bags will consist of Gatorade and snacks. In small groups, we will deliver to 3 - 4 locations in the Southwest Valley. We will also offer donuts and coffee when we deliver the snack bags. All are welcome!

Join us in Souers Hall at 8 am for breakfast, followed by decorating the Sanctuary!

You'll want to watch this past Sunday's sermon with helpful information on how we grow as individuals and how a church grows in Christ.

Let's make our Advent season extra meaningful this year as we read an Advent daily devotional together. 

We think you'll find this daily guide, "Advent for Everyone" by Tom Wright, to be an encouragement on the Advent journey towards the Bethlehem Manger.

Pick up the book on Amazon or wherever you like.

Several Opportunities this year to bless an individual with Homeless Youth Connection.  Select an angel from the tree in Souers Hall.  There are $10, $25, and $50 Angels,  You may purchase gift cards, cash or checks are accepted.

Come together for an afternoon filled with live music by Mary Wilkening and friends, a sweet and savory potluck, a White Elephant exchange, friendship, and festive fun! This year, we’ll celebrate the season with the beautiful reminder of Immanuel: God With Us, inspired by Matthew 1:23: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel.”

Host a Table
We’re looking for 12 women to host a table for this special celebration. As a hostess, we invite you to decorate your table with a Christ-centered centerpiece. We’ll provide black tablecloths and Christmas-themed paper plates and napkins, but feel free to add your own personal touches by bringing your own place settings. Each table will seat six, and if you choose to be a hostess, a member of the Women’s Team will connect with you to provide more details.

White Elephant Gift Exchange
This is not your typical White Elephant! Bring a gently used treasure—something special that you’d like to share with a new friend. It could be a keepsake, scarf, jewelry, book, candle, or another cherished item that’s too lovely for a donation box but ready for a new home. Please wrap your gift for the exchange.

Sweet and Savory Potluck
In the spirit of Christmas treats, we ask each guest to bring 10-12 individual servings of their favorite sweet or savory nibble to share. You can drop off your food on Saturday morning (December 7) between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM or when doors open at 1:15 PM.

Join us as we gather as Sisters in Christ to celebrate Immanuel: God With Us and the joy of His presence in our lives. We look forward to celebrating with you!
