Children of the World Update:
It was an amazing day last Sunday as the Children of the World Choir entertained and inspired us with their music, video and testimony. You worshippers responded in your typical enthusiastic fashion. We thought you would like to know CLC is sponsoring 52 children and raised over $6600.00 in the free will “love” offering. Many thanks to the host families, to those who chose to sponsor a child and to all who shared an offering.
Thank you for doing your part.
