Enjoy Donut Holes and Coffee on Celebration Sunday

August 1 is Celebration Sunday. Children will remain in worship with their families. The service will include a short children’s message, in addition to activity bags, as children remain in worship to celebrate the Lord’s Supper with their parents. Nursery is provided for children 0-3 years old. Donut holes will be served along with coffee and water between services in the breezeway.

Thank You, Ken Martin

Ken Martin recently retired from the Board of Directors where he served using his many talents for over eleven years. He initially served as the Personnel Chair and went on to serve as the Facilities Chair, Vice President, and President. The Senior Pastors during this time were: Rev. Terry Swicegood, Rev. Dale Hopely, and Rev. Dr. Lynne Kammeraad. Ken has been an active part of the growth and ministry of The Church at Litchfield Park and we are honored that he will continue to serve on the Master Plan Committee.

One of Ken's passions is family genealogy, which he has actively pursued for thirty years. He shares that when they were younger, his children were terrified to get in a car with him because of the many cemetery tours he took them on in Missouri. In appreciation, Pastor Lynne and the Board of Directors presented Ken with a custom award that states:

"...My Father I will honor the one who serves me." John 12:26.
We thank you, good and faithful servant.

Life Groups With Openings

Women's Life Group - "Let's Digest Your Favorite Bible Verse" led by Diane Piehl and Betty Gerlak. This is a 6-week study of the participants’ favorite Bible verses. Two participants per week will share their favorite verse, and we will open discussion on it. Join us from July 15 - August 19 on Thursdays from 10:00 - 11:00 am in Fireside Room North. Bring your Bible and let's digest your favorite Bible verse.

If you are interested in participating or leading a group, please email Marge Kinney at mkinney@clp.church. If you want to be a leader, please consider the day of the week, the time, how often you want to meet (once a week, biweekly or monthly) and the topic. Marge has a list of available resources and looks forward to speaking to you!

Give to Homeless Youth Connection

One of the local missions our church supports is Homeless Youth Connection, an organization that helps youth who are experiencing homelessness to find their strengths and give them hope for a successful future. Homeless Youth Connection assisted 332 youth this past year in our area. Our congregation has been asked to help them fulfill their needs by going to their AmazonSmile website, where you can see their Wish List. Through AmazonSmile, you can donate to them directly. Go to https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3HK9OLSZNT9Y where you will find a list of their greatest needs, such as toiletries and backpacks.

Searching For Historical Photos

Our Historian is looking for pieces of our church’s history. If you have pictures (either digital or paper) of any of the following events, Meredeth Stucky would like copies. Particular events are: 2020 Confirmation Sunday; 2021 Outdoor Christmas Pageant in the parking lot; 2021 Christmas Eve Service in the south parking lot. For High School Graduations, she is looking for pictures and their descriptions of events for 2019, 2020, and 2021 (she already has pictures of the 2020 baccalaureate). Just a reminder, please don’t throw away any bits of church history. Send them to Meredeth so they can help fill in pieces of our story. If you have any questions, please contact Meredeth or call the church office at 623.935.3411.

Sunday School Volunteers Needed

Do you love sharing God’s love with children? We are currently offering in-person Sunday School for children entering pre-K through fifth grade during the 9:30 am worship service. We would welcome additional teachers (in person and those willing to record lessons for children participating at home), classroom helpers, and people willing to help coordinate behind the scenes.

Want to Learn More About Handbells?

Have you ever wondered what it is like to ring a handbell? Have you ever wondered if you could ring in one of our handbell choirs? One does not have to read music. Marilyn will teach you how to do that, too. If you would like to learn how to play this beautiful instrument, please contact our Bell Master, Marilyn Chandler, or call our church office at 623.935.3411. Don’t say you can’t play handbells; you won’t know for sure unless you try!
