CHRISTMAS CAROLING! Sunday December 16th 5:30pm We meet at church, have dinner and then gather to go caroling around the community! Stay tuned for more details!
Scrip Cards Available at CLC One of the simplest ways in which to contribute to CLC is by purchasing Scrip Gift Cards. Cards are available for many different retailers, and in a variety of denominations. If you are looking for a retailer not on our order form, please ask, as there are too many to put on one form! If you do your grocery shopping at King Soopers, please consider purchasing a reloadable Scrip gift card from CLC. King Soopers sends us a check approximately 6 times a year for the 4% rebate earned by the CLC members who reload their gift cards at the store. It is a very simple process, which has resulted in 2012 rebates totaling $1,775.00 so far! Those funds have been extremely useful for covering non-budgeted expenses. With the Christmas holidays approaching, please keep in mind that Scrip gift cards make wonderful Christmas gifts! Order forms are available in the narthex, and you may pay by check or credit card. Darlene Dethlefs is generally available to sell on-hand cards between the 8 and 9:30 Sunday services. Or, please contact Sallie Burns in the church office or at sburns@clchr.org. Thanks for your support!

Season’s Greetings from the Preschool! We are so excited to be in the holiday season. We held a family Thanksgiving Feast before the holiday and many families shared a meal together. We are busy practicing for our Christmas Programs being held in December. The children always look so adorable in their fancy outfits and this year we are doing a mini reenactment of the Christmas Story. As we prepare for the birth of our Savior downstairs, we wish everyone upstairs a memorable, peaceful and glorious holiday season. Remember to slow down and find the simple things in one another and treasure those dear to you. Merry Christmas! —Ms. Deb and Ms. Blair
Pueblo De Dios Service Project!
Creative Christmas!
We will be kicking off our 3rd annual Creative Christmas for Pueblo De Dios! One of our missions for Sunday School is our Creative Christmas Project for Pueblo De Dios church in Compton, CA. We collect craft items, kits, paints, legos, lincoln logs, color wonder, play dough, glue, scissors, crayons, anything that is even remotely crafty and put the items in a shoe box and send to Compton, CA. My son is again putting 100 legos in ziplocks and putting it in a shoebox. This is a HUGE project and we will need lots of supplies, shoe boxes or plastic containers, big boxes for sending the boxes, and some volunteers to help get things wrapped up. Our goal is to send 100 shoe boxes! We will also need several friends to either take shoe boxes home and wrap them or wrap at church! This project is completely separate of the Operation Christmas Child that the church also does. Deadline is December 9th. We will be packing up boxes in the afternoon on December 9th.
