I am so excited about what is happening at the church right now.  We are growing every week, but there is plenty of room for everyone!  Would you help spread the word about CIL through social media, casual conversation, and personal invitation?  Your enthusiasm for what God is doing atCIL is the greatest influence for us to reach more people for Christ.

The toiletries drive for the Appalachia Mission trip at Chick-fil-a is going great! The campaign ends on Saturday, September 17.  Make sure to drop by your toothbrush/paste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, brush/comb and tie backs before the end of business at Chick-fil-a on Saturday night. Pray for our team that will minister in Lynch, Kentucky, September 22-25.

Speaking of missions, a couple of weeks ago we were able to give $6,206 to Phil Zarn’s ministry in Sweden. A miraculous Labor Day weekend offering!

We are on mission. We are getting people in community through our small groups. We are discipling the next generation through ministry to children and youth. We are introducing people to Christ through Alpha.  CIL is alive, and I am glad you are a part of it!

I love being your pastor,
