WEEKEND WORSHIP....JULY 5TH & 6TH...

SUMMMER WEEKEND WORSHIP....JULY 5TH & 6TH...

I will be at the lake sharing some vacation time. I love being at the lake for it gives me a chance to unwind and believe or not just STOP and enjoy some down time.
Summer Weekend Worship will be a great place to be with Susan Winters and Dan Miller sharing the weekend messages. Dan is our very own CLC Director and also the Lay Leader of the Butler District. He is a lay speaker and you will want to hear his weekend message: Land of Hopes and Dreams. Susan Winters is our Director of Children's Ministry and you know Susan always shares a great message this weekend she will be sharing: "What's In Your Beach Bag"
I will return on Monday gear up for a great week of new beginnings with our new Associate Pastor Gary Hilton.
May your summer be a time of blessings and great times.
Stay Faithful and Finish Well,
Your Pastor & Friend

FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND....JUNE 14TH & 15TH..

FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND....JUNE 14TH & 15TH...

What a special weekend when we remember those Fathers who are no longer with just and honor those Father's who are still alive and present in our lives.
I will be leading the Traditional Worship Saturday 5:30pm and Sunday Morning at 8:30am & 11am.

I will be sharing the message" The Day God Ran"

This is always a wonderful weekend for those who still have their fathers among them. Why not honor them by worshipping with them....this is always a tough weekend for those of us who no longer have our fathers with us....why not come to worship and spend some time giving thanks for their remembrance in our hearts. 

We hope that you bring your father to worship  with you or come and remember him in your heart.

Stay Faithful and Finish Well,
