HOW WILL YOU FINISH STRONG?
Did you know that as of December 1st, there are only 31 days remaining in 2022?
I believe it is important for all of us to FINISH STRONG as the new year approaches.
In order to help with this, the Dream Team of CLC has put together a FINISH STRONG Campaign to guide and equip the church family.
You will have opportunities to read God's Word more consistently, serve others significantly, and share your resources to make the best impact for our community.

LOOKING AHEAD
Prepare for December…
This past month in October, our church family was asked to begin praying for God to show us a financial gift amount to share with the church family to strengthen CLC into the future as we Love God, Love People and Make Disciples into 2023. Beginning on Dec.1, you will be able to give this gift online or in person at one of the worship gathering times on Sunday mornings.
Let’s keep praying and seeking the Lord’s guidance.
Be Encouraged!
If you checked at least 5 boxes above, you just might be growing in the Lord.
If not, there are more opportunities coming soon to encourage your faith. Keep in mind, what you put into it is what you will get out of it (Galatians 6:7). Spiritual growth is a choice. Make the decision today to grow in 2023.
