Dear Church Family,

I am so excited about what God is doing at CLP in this season of spiritual growth!  We have men attending a weekly study with Pastor Kris as well as a monthly dinner and study. Our women are overflowing two sections of a study on Proverbs.  Eleven Walk to Emmaus pilgrims are working with their sponsors and me as they prepare for their upcoming spiritual renewal weekend.

When I first met you all back in June of last year, I heard you, the congregation, say that you wanted a confirmation class to be held sometime soon and also a ministry to help couples.  I am excited to report that both the confirmation class and the Emotionally Healthy Relationships class are going strong.  It looks like the classes can be repeated in the coming years as I continue to serve as your Senior Pastor alongside Pastor Kris and Pastor Brenda.

The Spirit is moving more people to express interest in membership; this past Sunday we had four people in new member orientation.  

Worship attendance is encouraging.  The 10 am service in particular attracts visitors each week; this past Sunday I counted 8 - 10 first-timers, including some younger adults and children.  On Wednesdays, worshipping in Dinner Church at The Table@CLP, we see seniors who have been coming to Wednesday dinners for years now mingling with new (to us) singles, families, and children.

I note that some of our members have paid their 2025 pledges in full already, contributing to strong offerings in February and the first three Sundays in March.  We can all thank God for the CLP members who continue to step up to support the work of the Gospel with prayers, presence, gifts, and service.  Let's keep it up as we trust the Lord together :-)

Blessings in Christ,

Pastor Ted

Dear Church Family,

We have a blue apron for you at The Table!  We’re seeking sous chefs to serve with Chef Carla in her fun kitchen and other folks to serve the happy diners coming through the buffet.  It’s always a blessing to work as a team to create a warm family environment for everyone who comes through the doors.

Sincerely,

Cathy Brandt, Volunteer Coordinator for The Table@CLP

Enjoy this video of worship songs by the CLP Band led by Pastor Kris and a sermon from Psalm 27 by Pastor Ted.  The sermon begins by talking about the fears we have that may come from a mix of family of origin, life experience including traumatic events and personality type. Psalm 27 has four stanzas and a finale; understanding and praying this Psalm can help us in our journey towards overcoming fears and moving forward in faith.

Here’s an outline of Psalm 27, a prayer of confidence:

Psalm 27:1-3       Lord, you are the basis for my confidence.

Psalm 27:4-6       One thing I desire more than any other - to be in your presence.

Psalm 27:7-10     Hear me, O Lord, as I pray for help.

Psalm 27:11-12    Teach me O Lord; I want to learn your ways.

Psalm 27:13-15    I believe that you, O God, will get it done.  Until then, I wait for you, Lord.

Join Us for the City of Litchfield Park’s Easter Egg Hunt!

We are excited to support the City of Litchfield Park’s first-ever Easter Egg Hunt in their beautiful new park—right across from the church! This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the season with family, friends, and neighbors while enjoying a fun-filled morning together.

The event kicks off at 9 AM and will feature an Easter egg hunt, photos with the Easter Bunny, live music, delicious food vendors, a petting zoo, and more!

This is a wonderful way to come together as a community and experience the joy of Easter. Mark your calendars, bring your family, and join in the fun!

Volunteers will sort and pack food at Skyway Church, just west of Bullard on Van Buren, and then deliver it to individual seniors at a low-income apartment complex in Avondale. We will meet at Skyway at 7 AM and serve until 9:30 am. This serve opportunity happens on the 4th Saturday of each month. Bulk food donations come from St Mary's Food Bank

Our church offers five $2000 scholarships to seniors who have been active in community service.  One is reserved for a church member, the others are open to any student who attends high school in the Agua Fria School District.  Applications are available at the church office, Monday - Thursday 9am-4pm.  You can also email info@clp.church and we will email the application to you.
