Verse of the Week: John 14:6
Christ be my Leader by night as by day; Safe through the darkness, for He is the WAY. Gladly I follow, my future His care, Darkness is daylight when Jesus is there. Christ be my Teacher in age as in youth, Drifting or doubting, for He is the TRUTH. Grant me to trust Him; though shifting as sand, Doubt cannot daunt me; in Jesus I stand. Christ be my Savior in calm as in strife; Death cannot hold me, for He is the LIFE. Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain Can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign.

THANK YOU to our volunteers and donors who made our Spring Red Cross Blood Drive a success. Our goal was 30 units and we had a total of 35. God’s Blessings to all of you! Mark your calendars for the next drive at CLC on Nov. 9, 2017.
Preschool Envelope Fundraiser Have you seen this box on the table in the narthex? These envelopes all have different numbers on them. All you have to do is pick up one or more, put the money inside, and return the envelope any time between now and May 26. You can pick up any number or just close your eyes and pick one! This is the preschool's only fundraiser. You don’t have to buy anything or sign up to work. Please consider your part prayerfully and help this important ministry of CLC. Thank you for your continuing support!
