RELAY FOR LIFE
On July 26th the senior high youth will be participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life! Held at Cresthill Middle School, BLAZE's group called the "CLC Pooh Bears" will be walking the track all night long and into the morning of the 27th to raise money and awareness for cancer research! The youth will be fundraising until the Relay and are accepting any and all donations during services on Sundays! Stop by and purchase a yummy treat from the bake sale or buy a luminary in honor or memory of a loved one who is still fighting or lost their battle to cancer; the luminaries will be displayed around the track all night long. Thanks for your support!
Scrip for BACK-TO-SCHOOL Supplies Summer is in full swing! Unfortunately (or fortunately for some), school will be starting before you know it. Please consider CLC Scrip Gift Cards for your back-to-school needs. For school supplies, we have gift cards from Target, Staples, Office Depot and Office Max. There are also cards available for Dell Computer and Barnes & Noble College bookstore. If your college-bound student needs a little help with essentials, there are gift cards from Bed, Bath & Beyond, Sears, and Home Depot. And, of course, we have many restaurant gift cards which would make a great gift for any hungry student! Take a look at the Scrip order forms and complete vendor lists located in the Narthex. Thanks for supporting the CLC Scrip Gift Card program!
Harrington Elementary Back to School Collection
We are starting to collect backpacks, school supplies and tennis shoes for Harrington Elementary School. Harrington is a very low income school in Denver that our congregation has adopted. Please bring in backpacks, tennis shoes (all sizes for elementary kids) and any type of school supplies and drop them in the bin located in the Narthex/Lobby marked Harrington Backpacks. These back packs filled with school supplies may be the only supplies the children get all year. The Physical Education teacher says that many kids come to the gym wearing flip flops or shoes that are too small for them. Last year we took 250 backpacks and 70 pairs of tennis shoes to the school and made many children very happy. We will be delivering everything to Harrington on August 12th.
