July Recap at CLC!!!

We are having a blast watching God do what God does best!!! Love on His people!!!
THE MESSAGES! Message series called FEAR FIGHTERS!!!! 2Timothy 1:7 God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Week 1 Lion Chasers
Fear can so many times paralyze and neutralize from the greatest moments in life that God wants to work out on our behalf!!! We saw how Benaiah in 2 Samuel went down on a snowy day and killed a lion!!! We must learn to see the fight over through keeping our eyes on the deliverer and standing our ground!!!
1John 4:18-19 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.

Week 2 Fear or Faith
Sometime what our 5 sense tell us can seem more real and easier to believe than the promises and word that God gives us. It is an all our fight to fight the GOOD fight of FAITH (1Tim 6:12) and not walk by what we see but by FAITH (2Cor 5:7)! Faith is the 6th sense that will set you free to enjoy all that was paid for at the cross and allows you to access it no matter what the other 5 senses say!!!!

Week 3 Fight for Your Family
Ps 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord…Parents have to stand strong, persevere and take personal responsibility to stand strong in faith for their family and their children!!!
We had the honor of having the official Faith Man and Fear Man make an appearance front and center of the CLC stage in the Professional Wrestling Ring on stage!!! Yup…you heard correct. A real wrestling ring on stage!!!They literally fought each other during service and Faith Man won!!!!

Family Fun! The 4th of July Family Fun Day was a huge hit!
We had so much fun! We had an old fashion day of wacky games like:
• seed spiting contest• egg toss
• three legged race• bat race• watermelon eating contest


We also had a dunking booth where even Pastor James got dunked!!!
We meet a lot of new members and even the small children had so much fun in the mini swimming pools and sprinklers!
Softball brought out the competitors!!! The new back drop was a real nice addition.

Easter weekend at Champion Life Centre

Easter weekend at Champion Life Centre in one word…..AWESOME!!!!!!

It started with a Kids Festival and Easter Egg Hunt for the community and boy did the community show up! We were not sure what to expect and let’s just put it this way….next year we will have to quadruple the size of the festival and at least double the size of the hunt!!! Cars flooded in and families filled the CLC property.

At 5pm we heard the deep rumble of the helicopter coming over the church to the field carying Pastor James and the Easter Bunny!!! They circled over and then dropped eggs onto the field (not planned but some into the crowd as well)

When the flag was dropped about 1500 kids devoured the field and in about 48 seconds over 15,000 Easter eggs were picked!!!! It was truly an amazing site to see! A wave of children moving in unison leaving nothing behind!!We had three services and all three services were so filled with such an awesome, sweet presence of Jesus. Easter is an awesome time for churches around the world to unite and remind everyone of exactly what Jesus did on that cross and the restored relationship we have with His resurrection!!

Every part of the service pointed to the finished work of the cross! The intro was so overwhelming and most people were in awe of just how grand, alive and vibrant the cross could be portrayed! Hats off to the lighting, media and worship team who poured their hearts into a phenomenal worship experience!!!

Pastor James ministered to a full house a message entitled “A Win Win”. It was so awesome to see so many guests and united family units all hearing the fact that God is so madly in love with them and that its not about what they have done but what Jesus did! He shared personal stories of his father’s (Bishop Green) love for him, as well as his own love for his children (Brittney, Cameron and Carter). “If God is for us….WHO can be against us and WHAT can separate us from the love of God” were just a couple of passages he shared from and the atmosphere was so alive and full of God’s love and passion!!!!


We had our first official Traditional Service! Our chapel was full and we had our very own CLC choir sinG. They delivered the message of the gospel through every song. The atmosphere was so amazing and it was a great way to start the morning!!


Champion Life Centre Volunteers and Interns showed up in full force and filled the church with hearts ready to serve!! They were definitely the tangible physical expression of being Jesus to every person who walked onto our campus this weekend.

May we continue to point people to the cross and see lives touched, transformed and growing in the revelation of the love relationship God paid such a valuable price for! May we see Jesus revealed to hearts hungry to know Him and then making Him known!

UPCOMING EVENTS!

WOW!!! 2010 started with a bang at CLC!!! We are now in full swing and have a lot of exciting things going on!

We are in the Positive Change Series and that is exactly what happens when your life intersects with Jesus!! Positive, life long change!!

Our heart at CLC is that we have doors wide open for all people who don’t know the Love God to have a loving, warm, inviting church they can come to and experience and find that amazing loving relationship with a God who so passionately loves them!!!

We want to make it so easy to invite a neighbor, friend, family member, coworker or even a stranger to CLC. One way we are doing that is by offering several great events on campus. These events get them in the door and then once they are here we believe they will experience the love of Jesus through our members, the message and the Spirit of God Himself. Who will you bring???

Listed below are several upcoming events and activities that you can attend as well as invite others to come to. We pray you will find amazing friendships, and ultimately a growing vibrant relationship with God!
