FOOD PANTRY: The Northport Food Pantry is extremely grateful for all of the food donations they receive from CLC. They feed approximately 140 needy families a week.

DONATE YOUR OLD EYEGLASSES - How You Can Help: If you have used prescription or nonprescription glasses or sunglasses in your drawers, desks, or closets, you can donate them now! Children's glasses are especially needed. Both plastic and metal frames are accepted. For the next couple of months, there will be a container in the Narthex to collect your old prescription eyeglasses and your sunglasses. These will be recycled and distributed by The Lions Club to needy people with eyesight difficulties. Any questions, contact Joan Larsen.

NEW MEMBER CLASS: If you are interested in becoming a member of CLC please contact Pastor Jim or Vicar James asap. A class is being formed.

50TH ANNIVERSARY: CLC will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in October 2010 and the planning has begun! A committee has been formed and will be working on 3 major projects: a celebration worship and party, the return of former pastors and vicars who have served at CLC, and a major project in the church that will keep the memory and celebration of the 50th anniversary alive. Current committee members are Christine Beck, Andrea Brovetto, Beth Reindl, Mary Ann Stephens and Mary Stephens. They will be meeting this Monday, June 8th at 5:00pm. This is an exciting time for the church-find a way to participate!

You can give the receipts to Mary Ann Stephens or leave them in the Sunday School mailbox. You can double your donation to the church by purchasing King Kullen gift cards from the ALIA table!

SENIOR HIGH RECOGNITION: On June 21st at the 11:15 contemporary worship service we will be recognizing all of our graduating high school seniors. Please join us to say congratulations and thank you from a supportive congregation.
