Building Project Pictures!


If you haven't noticed, we're going through a capital campaign this month! A major part of the new facility is being devoted to a worship space for Contemporary Worship (that's us!!). The architect has been working closely with our worshiping community to design an amazing space for us. We are excited about this opportunity, but the success of the campaign largely depends on your excitement! We need the financial commitment of members and "regular-attenders" alike.

Please take a moment to check out these pictures:
If you'd like to see more, visit the website http://www.clearlakemethodist.org/ and click on the "Planning and Building Committee" button. After seeing the new space, there's no doubt that you'll want to get behind the project.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them here on this blog or email Andrew (andrew@clearlakemethodist.org) or John (john@clearlakemethodist.org).

Screen-less Bibles

Let your voice be heard:

What do you think of bringing your own Bible to worship instead of reading it off the screen?

Is it more or less worshipful?

Is it helpful to your study and knowledge of the Bible?

Is it difficult to read the words?

Let us know...

The Great Gad-Speech

Have you ever identified with Gad (or any of Joseph's other brothers)? They felt a huge burden of guilt from selling their brother into slavery. Then they were fearful that God was punishing them by causing a strange set of difficult circumstances to happen to them, when in fact, God was about to show them Grace.

When was a time that you experienced guilt and fear of God's "revenge"?

Did you experience Grace?

"Grace" Anatomy?

Last Sunday was our first week of a 5-week series called "Grace Anatomy." Yes, the name is cheesy and there really is no real tie-in to the TV show...sorry :)

Now the burning question in all of your minds might be...what does "Grace" have to do with the arrows on the backgrounds of all the media slides?

Good question...

Any guesses or comments?
