Shuttle Bus for Christmas Eve
We will be using our own bus to shuttle people from the AMC parking lot across from the Outback restaurant on Christmas Eve. The shuttle will start at 2:30 pm and go until 8:30 pm. Please remember to come a little early so you can take advantage of riding the bus. On a day when there are around 1600 people worshipping at CLC, we would like to encourage all members and regularly attending guests to ride the bus. Many people who only attend church once or twice a year will be here, so let’s show them God’s love by letting them have a parking space.
Worship Teams for Christmas Eve
We are starting to schedule Worship Teams for Christmas Eve services 1:00,3:00, 5:00, 7:00 and 9:00 pm. If you would like to help usher or serve communion, please watch for the sign-up sheets during services and pick the service you want or sign the response sheet.

Poinsettias
If you would like to purchase a poinsettia for the altar on Christmas Eve, in honor or memory of a very special person, please sign the response sheet and put a check in the offering plate for $16.00. We are putting together a list for the Christmas bulletin, so the sooner we get your information, the better. We also need people to help place the Poinsettias around the altar on Wednesday, December 23rd at 9:00am, and/or to water the flowers once a week for about 3 weeks. If you are interested in helping with either of these, please sign the response sheet. The poinsettias need to be watered twice a week from December 23rd to January 6th. If you are interested in helping with this, please sign the Response Sheet.
