Stories of Faith - Lent 2020
The theme for Lent 2020 is “Stories of Faith”. We are blessed to have members and friends of our congregation share their faith stories with us each Wednesday in worship. How they have encountered Christ in their life and how their faith has seen them through.
Thanks to our fabulous committees and ministries for helping serve our meals on Wednesdays! Dinner starts at 5:15pm, followed by worship at 6:00pm with Holden Evening Prayer, and Connect Initiative, Wednesday School, and Junior High Mentoring right after until 7:15pm.
Lenten Schedule
March 18
Adult Forum during Lent
We will not have Adult Forum during Lent this year. As we are encouraging members to CONNECT with each other, Pastor Taryn is trying to the same. This often happens around the table at Coffee Hour. Grab a coffee, cookie, and join us for conversation!
CONNECT Initiative
“Connecting People Two by Two”
Christ calls us to know our neighbor. Those outside the church walls, and those inside them. During Lent, all members are invited to CONNECT with each other. To go beyond our friend circles, meet someone new, and grow in friendship across generations.
How this works??
Each Wednesday, worshippers will be invited to put their name in a hat. People will be paired randomly and invited to get to know one another. Find a quiet place in the church or go off-site. For 30 minutes you are encouraged to meet a new friend and have fun doing it!
You will be given question prompts, or you can go wherever the conversation leads you.
WELCOME TO THE TABLE WORKSHOPS are coming up!
March 29, 11:00am - 12:30pm AND April 1, 6:30pm – 7:15pm

Coronavirus Safety Measures
As the Covid-19 virus continues to impact the United States and countries around the world, we are doing what we can at CLLC to keep people safe and healthy. There are several hand sanitizer stations around the church, and one as you enter the building by the bulletin board. Everyone is asked to use the sanitizer in the aisles before coming up for communion also. We will be communing with small cups for the immediate future. You are also asked to use alternative greetings for the Sharing of the Peace (i.e. knock elbows, smile and say hello, be creative!). We appreciate your efforts to keep us all safe and healthy. Should we need to take additional precautions regarding worship and congregational gatherings, we will let you know.
