Verse of the Week:
Seek where you may To find a way That leads to your salvation. My heart is stilled, On Christ I build, He is the one foundation. His Word is sure, His works endure; He overthrows All evil foes; Through Him I more than conquer. Seek whom you may To be your stay, None can redeem his brother. All helpers failed; This man prevailed, The God-man and none other, Our Servant-King Of whom we sing. We’re justified Because He died, The guilty being guiltless. Seek Him alone Who did atone, Who did your souls deliver. O seek Him first, All you who thirst For grace that fails you never. In ev’ry need Seek Him indeed; To ev’ry heart He will impart His blessings without measure. My heart’s delight, My crown most bright, O Christ, my joy forever. Not wealth nor pride Nor fortune’s tide Our bonds of love shall sever. You are my Lord; Your precious Word Shall guide my way And help me stay Forever in Your presence.

Pastor's Sunday Morning Bible Study - 10:30-11:15 "7 Christian Rules That Every Christian Ought To Break As Often As Possible" Based on the Book written by Jonathan Fisk 1. Never follow a rule that follows your liver, your heart, your pancreas, or any other bodily organ that could conceivably have its mind changed by the shifting of the wind. 2. Never follow a rule that wasn't written in stone a very, very long time ago (doubly so if the grass is always greener on the other side because it's made of plastic). 3. Never follow a rule because it makes sense (especially if it promises to work because it makes sense [and especially, especially if it either contains the words "spirit-led" or can be entirely explained by a petri dish full of midi-chlorians]). 4. Never follow a rule because it benefits you now (and if it mentions "abundance," run screaming from the room). 5. Never follow a rule that has to start over (again and again... and again...) again. 6. Never follow a rule that doesn't like rules. 7. Never follow a rule in order to justify yourself. Seriously.
The CLC Youth thank you for your support of their recent “Take and Bake Pizza� Fundraiser. They made over $700 for their summer Servant Event thanks to your participation!
Preschool Accreditation Update: The accreditation process is going well. So far 5 out of the 7 standard committees have met and completed their work. I am working on typing up the comments and finishing collecting the documentation required for each standard. Soon I will begin sending the completed standards to my accreditation coach for final approval. Thank you to everyone who is helping with this process, either through committees and/or prayers. God is good! (Michele Lukanen, Preschool Director)
