We readily recognise thatCHURCH is more than just aseries of meetings in which wesing and listen to sermons, butwe don’t always have opportunityto celebrate the MORE thatchurch actually is. Well that isexactly what our GETCONNECTED Sunday is allabout. I thank God that there isso much more to CLC than thegreat meetings we sharetogether. There is a quality ofLIFE about our church thatsome of you don’t always get tosee or experience. There are somany different ways in which welive together relationally andencourage each other to live asdevoted followers of Jesus.There are also many differentways in which we are spreadingthe love and message of Jesus topeople day by day and week byweek.

GET CONNECTED is theperfect opportunity for you to dothat….GET CONNECTED.

We aim to demonstrate andrepresent these differentconnection points so that youcan build strong relationships

PASTOR’S BLOGwithin our community and find aplace to serve and minister. Afterall, these are the very things thatJesus intended the church tobring to our lives. There willalways be some people whochoose to sit on the fringes ofchurch life but we unashamedlydiscourage that. We want to getto know you and we want you todiscover the great value of whatGod has put in your life, and howthat can impact other people insuch positive ways.

So PLEASE come along onSunday 21st October and GETCONNECTED!
