Men's Open Seminar
Monday, April 29 | 7-8:30 PM
Men, please join us as we walk through
Sexual Sanity for Men by David White. This is truly the fight of our generation. What are we doing as men of the church - as followers of Christ - to truly set ourselves apart from the sexualized culture we live in? Nearly 70% of us fall into sexual sin on a regular basis. It's time to fight this. We encourage you to come and battle this sin alongside your brothers. Bring your son(s) to help lead him (them) to holiness in this area that threatens so many. The next seminar is in the CLC chapel from 7-8:30 PM on April 29 (led by Stewart Neely).

ProjectSHARE for April and May:
We will once again be collecting new or very gently used books during the months of April and May to use during our Seek the City camps. It is very important this year to collect many books as both camps will be held on the campus of Christ Covenant. Books can be dropped off in main lobby any Sunday in April or May, or the church office during the week. The goal is a minimum of 200 books for each club.
To see a full list of suggested books, click here.
