A BIG Thank You to

all who helped decorate the church the Friday after Thanksgiving. Many hands made short work of it and the church looks great! Check out our web site for some action shots.

www.clc-c.org

Video – Sound - ProjectorIf anyone is interested in helping with the

sound board, videoing the sermons or creating/running the projector

announcements please contact Steve Dardinger. There is currently a very limited

number of people who know how to do these things and when they are not here it

won’t get done. We need some help! Training will be given to those interested as

requested.

Reminder – Don’t Forget Your Name Tag

Not everyone remembers your name. We encourage everyone to wear their name tags. It helps not only

our visitors, but all of us to put a name to a face.

There are cords to use as lanyards on top of the mailboxes. Help yourself.
