Daily Bread and Outstretched Arms

When the Israelites needed food, God provided with daily 'manna' in the wilderness (see Exodus 16). There's freedom in prayerful release of control. Spiritual rhythms of trust, like Sabbath-keeping and generosity, loosen our grip and teach us daily dependence on God. If you missed this weekend's message on "Daily Bread Prayer" you can listen here

Well over 1,500 children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors and friends participated in CLPC's annual FEAR NOT FESTIVAL. Scores of volunteers served food, gave away candy, painted faces, cleaned up messes and chaperoned activities. It was our joy, with outstretched arms, to embrace every person in generous hospitality. This is the Kingdom of God at hand - locking arms with one another to bless and engage our neighborhoods. Way to go church. Look what God is doing!

Our mid-fall Stewardship series on Living Stories of Answered Prayer continues this weekend with a look at "Miracle Prayer." Read Mark 6:30-44 in preparation. This weekend's message will be no ordinary three-point sermon. That's all I'm telling... :)  Join us for the surprise
