Thank You

Thank you to everyone who has donated to the building fund so far! We have now reached $7,000 of our $20,000 goal!

Also, we’d like to thank those who donated towards our youth group trip to Winter Fest!

We greatly appreciate your faithfulness and are excited to serve the Lord together!

Meals on Wheels 

We are looking for three volunteers to create a team from CLC to cover a Meals on Wheels route for meal delivery on Wednesday mornings (10:30-12:00).

Having a team, would enable us each to have a specified week to deliver during each month and backup due to illness, vacations, etc.  

Together, we can serve a need for a vulnerable population in our community.  If you are interested, call the church office or see Susan Taylor. 

Baby Bottle Campaign

CLC is participating in the “Baby Bottle Campaign” through The Hagerstown Area Pregnancy Clinic.

The bottles will be here at the church for pickup on Sunday during service and during office hours throughout the week 9:00am-4:30pm.
 
HAPC provides area women with a safe, non-judgmental place to get all the information they need to make an informed decision regarding their unplanned pregnancy and to offer them the opportunity to make a positive, life affirming decision. 
 
When you fill a bottle with change, bills, or a check, it helps to provide pregnancy tests, ultrasound exam and pictures, outreach services, peer counseling, presentation of churches and community organizations. 

The bottles are due back to the church by March 5th.
Last year we collected $1,052.26
