Announcements

As we prepare to bid farewell to Pastor Ryan and Amy on their last Sunday with us, September 13th, we want to provide a few ways for you to express your gratitude, love, and blessings as they begin this next chapter.

We’ve created a farewell fund for anyone who would like to give toward a special gift for them. We’ve also created an online form where you can share your stories, memories, prayers, words of encouragement, or testimonies from your time under their ministry. 

IF YOU HAVE PHOTOS YOU’D LIKE TO SUBMIT FOR CELEBRATION PLEASE SEND THEM TO: luisa@clichurch.org

There will also be a designated spot on September 13th where you can bring and leave any cards or personal notes for Pastor Ryan and Amy.

Thank you for helping us honor them and celebrate the impact they have had on our church family.

ATTN: PARENTS!
There will be no CLI Kids classes for the 10am service time. There WILL be Nursery, but all other ages will be in the sanctuary with parents.
