Spring Cleanup!
It’s time to freshen things up! Join us on Sunday, April 27 at 1:00 PM for a spring cleanup day. We’ll be tidying up outside around the church and doing a deep clean of the CLC kitchen. Come for as long as you can—many hands make light work, and it’ll be more fun with you there!
We're Hiring!
As our Finance Coordinator (Linda Kay Hai) and Office Manager (Lynelle Hagedorn) are both looking to retire in coming months, our Staff-Parish Relations Committee has been hard at work developing a plan to fill these positions. As a result, we have decided to combine these two part-time positions into one full-time position that will be known as our Office Coordinator. Stay tuned for more information, we’ll be posting that opening soon!

Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to go to a summer church camp this year! There are 50 camps from which to choose and 3 sites to go to!
