                                             Lenten Food Drive

This year we’re going to provide a “grocery list” of items needed for HELP House and Needline.  You may pick up your grocery list and a bag in the vestibule of the church.  You may fill your bag at your own pace throughout the Lenten season (one item per week, or all at once).  It could even become a part of your devotion to Christ during this sacred time.  Once your bag is full, you can return it anytime before or on April 4th to the church office  (or the hallway outside of the church office).

Walk By Faith
Meetings are every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 AM in the CLC gym. Everyone is welcome to join this fun and lively group. We begin with some warm-up stretches, then walk for 20 minutes before cooling down. This is a great low-impact workout for all fitness levels. Hope to see you this week!
