Hey everyone! It's time to sign up for February dinners by Chef Carla and friends at The Table@CLP.

Here's the menu: Feb 5 Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, Feb 12 Tacos, Feb 19 Beef Stroganoff, Feb 26 Pulled Pork.

This Wednesday come and meet Sally Allen Newall, 93 years young. Sally began attending CLP as a child in the early 1930s, well before our sanctuary was constructed in 1939.

The Table@CLP is an intergenerational space where adults, kids, and teens can be themselves, share a meal, support one another, and grow together.  Each Wednesday from 5:15 - 6:30 pm we enjoy a free dinner, live music, a story about Jesus and conversation. 

All are welcome at The Table; there's a place just for you.

Sincerely,

Sunday's Service & Sermon

Sunday's Service & Sermon

Our band was particularly awesome yesterday!

This past Sunday, Pastor Kris shared the story of when Jeremiah was called to serve the Lord.  Jeremiah didn’t feel that he was ready, yet God told him that He would be with him, rescue him, and give him the words to say. When God calls us to serve, He always provides everything we need.

As you prepare your heart and mind to watch this sermon, think about the ways that God is calling you to serve. 

Please enjoy viewing and sharing our specially produced video with hymns, prayers, the band, and the sermon by Pastor Kris.

CLP Kids, Youth, and Nursery Highlights

CLP Kids, Youth, and Nursery Highlights

It was Serve Sunday in CLP Kids, and our focus has been on the basic things we need and how we can support others who are in need. We've been working on Blessing Bags and yesterday, we learned our new February memory verse: 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)

In Rise Up, Youth!, we unpacked the sermon, and Becca shared an incredible song that beautifully applied what we learned.

Here is the link to "Jesus Saves" by Riley Green: https://youtu.be/Zrm8t6n0-vA?si=aecHGhc8ngVA-EQZ

This is why serving with children and youth fills me with hope! Watching them wrestle with faith and express it in ways that inspire others reminds me how vital it is to invest in the next generation.

I am humbled by Becca’s beautiful heart shared through this song. Our ONE THING focus was on our tendency to drift from God and how staying the course requires intention. Just as Israel repeatedly wandered, God continually pursued them, sending prophets to call them back. 

Reflecting on Pastor Kris’s sermon, I think of Jeremiah—young, uncertain, yet called by God. He doubted, but God assured him that those He sends, He equips. Like Jeremiah, our children are set apart with purpose, and it is our privilege to walk alongside them, nurture their faith, and remind them that God is with them.

We are called to pour into our children because faith is not inherited—it is cultivated (think about the parable of the soils that Pastor Ted shared at The Table@CLP). If we do not teach them who God was, is, and will always be, the world will fill that void with its own version of truth.

Let's be intentional in showing them the love of Christ, helping them recognize His presence in their daily lives, know His truth, and equipping them to be lights in the darkness.

Have a great week, and please continue to pray over our children as they grow in their faith, learn, and practice what it means to serve in Christ’s love and engage in God's mission.

Blessings,
Pastor Brenda

Emotionally Healthy Relationships

Emotionally Healthy Relationships

Community Temperature Reading

This past Sunday the Emotionally Healthy Relationships Class learned a relationship skill called CTR, or "Community Temperature Reading."  The class watched a video and then practiced the skill face-to-face with their partner, with singles matching up with one another.

The congregation is invited to consider joining an Emotionally Healthy Discipleship class the next time one is offered.

If you'd like to learn more about this helpful relationship skill, you may click the button below to watch the same video viewed in class.

Feed My Starving Children

Feed My Starving Children

Saturday, February 15, 2025

Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, we estimate at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking.
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development.
Volunteers Needed to Help Pack Food!
  We are looking for volunteers to assist with packing food for a great cause. Join us as we come together to make a difference!

* Meeting Time: 7:45 AM at the church
* Carpool: We will carpool to the event location
* Session: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
* Return Time: We’ll be back at the church by 12:00 PM

Sign-up is required.  
Please let us know if you can join by signing up in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated!
