175th Anniversary Events

Jim Hendricks Concert
September 28th: Pianist Jim Hendricks began intriguing musicians and family members as a child with the uncanny ability to play anything he heard on records and memorize any printed music that came across the piano. Since then, Jim has performed over 1,000 Christian piano concerts in churches all across the land.

Gulf Coast News

Phase II Assistance for the Gulf Coast: From this point on our emphasis will be to focus on sending Lowe’s and Home Depot Gift Cards to the recovery area. At this point in the recovery, most who had resources or insurance have had repairs their homes. Lagging behind are those who lacked proper insurance, and the poor. To assure that repairs can be made to their homes, these gift cards will allow for the purchase of the needed materials.

Welcome Back Sunday:
Welcome Back Sunday will be on September 7th! This is a day that we CLC’ers make a special effort to attend worship and it is always a special day. Sunday Church School also begins anew that day with a great opening at 9:15 a.m. The theme for this year’s Welcome Back Sunday is “Celebrating Discipleship.”

Sunday School:
Our Sunday School program begins this year on September 7th at 9:15 a.m. All students, teachers, and parents will assemble in Weaver Hall that morning for a registration period, a brief welcome and introduction of teachers and the distribution of the Children’s Bibles for 3 year olds through second grade. Then everyone will be dismissed to their classes for a personal ‘meet and greet’ with the teachers. We offer classes for ages 3 through adulthood. Come join the fun as we learn of the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
