‘Then Noah and his family left the ark and he built an altar to the Lord.  

He took clean animals and birds and offered burnt offerings to the Lord.  

The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, and said in his heart,  

“I will never again curse the ground because of man even though the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down  every living creature as I have done. While the earth remains, seed time and harvest,  cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. I have established  my covenant with you and every living creature for all future generations:  

I have set my rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. I will remember my everlasting covenant between me and you and every living creature.”’

Excerpts from Genesis 8 and 9

–Kathleen Harmon continues to battle complications from her surgery. Pray for God’s grace and joy to  surround her and encourage her in this long haul and for total healing. 

–IPC clients who come in with heartbreaking stories: drug addiction, separation, no support system to name a  few. Pray for God’s love to break through these situations and for the staff ministering to these clients.

–Praise Report from Barb Murphy: Her brother, Gordon, who recently had brain surgery in Rochester can now  receive radiation and chemo treatments locally at CMC. Continue to pray for his salvation and total healing. 

–Prayer for Ukraine: 

Father, we come to you in humility and boldness. You said we could come to your throne of grace and ask for  mercy. We are asking you for mercy to be given to the people of Ukraine. We ask for you to use the evil that is  taking place, and bring any possible good from it, just as you did with the prodigal in Scripture. (Prayer from IFA  March 4th)  

Please return your baby bottle as soon as you can. 

Please join us for prayer at 9am on Sunday mornings in the Prayer Tower.

I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously; 

He has hurled the horse and rider into the sea. 

The Lord is my strength and my song; He has given me victory. 

This is my God, and I will praise him—my Father’s God and I will exalt him. 

Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power. 

Your right hand, O Lord, smashes the enemy. 

In the greatness of your majesty, you overthrow those who rise against you. 

Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— 

Glorious in holiness, Awesome in splendor,  

Performing great wonders? 

With your unfailing love you lead the people you have redeemed. 

In your might, you guide them to your sacred home. 

Selections from Exodus 15

Immerse Book Club

Posted on by Sharon Cleek

We’re excited to launch our Immerse Book Club at CLC Church, starting the week of October 17, 2021.

“Using a Bible designed for reading at length, readers are invited to get lost in the stories, poetry, letters, and other literature that make up that grand narrative of the Scriptures. A simplified “book club” discussion model encourages groups to read large portions of the Bible and simply talk about what they read.”

“It’s not a Bible study. It’s ultimately an invitation to a vibrant, transformative relationship with God and with each other through his Word.” (from Institute for Bible Reading)

Let us Immerse ourselves in God’s Word anew!
