Weeknight
Meditative Worship Service
WINTER
WORSHIP SERVICES SCHEDULE
9:00 a.m. Liturgical communion service
10:05 a.m. Sunday School, Adult Forum and Coffee Fellowship
11:15 a.m. Informal communion service ( with one Sunday a month
being particularly family-oriented with Sunday School participation
encouraged.)
Time: Saturday September 18 from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM (or so!)
Place: Pastor Pat and John’s home in New London
Led by: Ed Olney and Pastor Pat
Topic: Lord, Teach Me to Pray
If you would like a chance for quiet reflection and/or an opportunity to learn more about various ways to pray, there is a “too good to be missed” opportunity coming up on September 18th, just for you. Ed Olney and Pastor Pat are planning a retreat for all members of the CLC Community (for adults and teens who have been confirmed).
You do not have to do anything to prepare for this time of quiet and reflection, other than show up at 9:00 a.m. with paper, pencil and a favorite bible (if possible). Coffee and goodies will be provided in the morning and lunch at noon time. This is deliberately “low key” to provide you with a stress-free opportunity for reflection, prayer and quiet time.
The retreat will open with a time of devotions, followed by a discussion of various prayer types. Participants will have time to practice one or more of the prayer types at various prayer centers indoors and outdoors, and then to learn from others about these prayer experiences. The retreat will close with devotions. After closing devotions, participants will have the opportunity to continue to use the prayer centers, or to take part in recreational opportunities including canoeing, kayaking or sailing.
A sign up sheet will be on the narthex bulletin board and directions to Pastor Pat’s house will be on the table.
Weeknight Meditative
Worship Service
If you like the idea of a quiet meditative time or
if you work schedule doesn’t permit worshipping on Sunday, please join us for
Meditation Services of the second Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. The
next service will be on Wednesday, September 8, at 6:00 p.m.
At CLC, we offer several varieties of Bible Study
to meet the individual schedules and study styles of our members.
Adult Forum: Is taught by John Harris and meets weekly on Sunday
mornings in the Church Parlor at 10:05 a.m., during the Sunday School
hour. This group undertakes Bible study, learns Bible study techniques
and sometimes studies church history. They will be starting a study of
the Gospel of Luke in the Fall.
Tuesday Afternoon Study: Is led by Pastor Pat and meets weekly on Tuesdays at
4:00 p.m. in the church parlor. In this group, we study a book of
the Bible in depth, typically at a rate of a chapter per week. Currently,
we are studying the Book of Luke, with a particular emphasis on the unique way
that the Gospel of Luke relates the life of Christ for its gentile readers.
Enfield and Lake Sunapee Small
Groups:
These groups meet in the evenings and gather approximately once every four to six weeks at a participant’s home. The studies are led by group participants.
Low is a fellowship group that uses kayaks or canoes
At a typical event we meet at the scheduled Pond or Lake around 2 or 3 p.m. the host sets the time. After kayaking/canoeing for an hour or two we proceed to the host’s home for a potluck supper. The host coordinates the potluck items and often supplies the "main dish." It is very helpful if everyone RSVP's so the host knows how much to prepare.
It is understood that the weather is always a consideration. So the schedules are always open for changes.
The next scheduled meet is September 19 at Grafton Pond with the Cronenwetts hosting
The Dinner Club will be kicking off the 2010-2011 season with a dinner at the home of Carol and David Miller in Grantham, on Saturday, September 25th at 6 p.m. During this evening we will "shuffle the deck" and establish new dining groups for the coming year. This group was very successful last year and is a great way to socialize and get to know members of the congregation. The club will be divided into groups of 6 and will meet in each others' homes for dinner periodically during the year. Usually, the host couple provides the entree and the others bring side dishes, desserts, etc. Each group can decide their format among themselves. Please consider joining the Dinner Club this year...you'll be glad you did! A sign up sheet will be hung in the narthex for the event on the 25th. Please sign up by September 12th. We will ask participants to bring various dishes after we have an accurate count.
