Blanket Drive

Christian Life Center — Sun, 24 Dec 2017 13:03:12 +0000

Our blanket distribution last Tuesday where 332 blankets were collected from FTL, CS, & Sunrise campuses and 428 plates of food were served to the homeless!

We are cautioned to not grow weary of doing good things. Many great folks have been with us on this project from the very beginning! Some have provided financial support, in-kind support, moral support and more importantly time. On the day of the drive, some of the team worked anywhere between 4 to 16 hours.

We are extremely grateful to the leaders and volunteers of our Outreach Ministry who were able to bless this ministry one way or another. We were able to feed 428 people in four locations. While the food and the blankets were a blessing to them, they however received a greater gift from us, which is seeing the love of Christ and others in us. Next year is upon us already and by God’s grace, we will multiply the number of people who were served in 2017!

God has given us a mandate to do what we can to help those around us in need. As a way of providing relief to those affected by recent natural disasters, we’ve partnered together with Convoy of Hope. Here’s a quick recap of what we’re doing to help provide support.

Here’s an update from Convoy of Hope President, Hal Donaldson, from a recent trip to Puerto Rico. Thank you CLC Family for being Kingdom Builders and for helping COH spread hope to hurricane survivors.

How to Tell The Difference Between Good Decisions and God Decisions

Christian Life Center — Tue, 19 Sep 2017 19:01:21 +0000

"}">

If it’s good, it must be God. Right? Wrong!

Just because something looks good, feels good and even sounds good, does not mean it is good or aligned with God’s will for your life! But how do we discern the difference? Join us this Fall for our 6-week Spiritual Growth Campaign called “Decisions” where we will be connecting in Groups through out Broward County to study how to discern between what’s good and what’s God.

This weekend at our Fort Lauderdale campus we are celebrating like we never have before — we’re giving thanks to God for His covering during this hurricane season and we invite you to join us. Last week we prayed for the Lord’s hand of protection and he heard our prayers; now let’s come together to give thanks!

Our special service times for this Sunday, September 17 are:
- 8:00am
- 9:30am
- 11:30am
- 5:00pm

We will have our regular kids services and activities. No Growth Groups. We also encourage you to be in attendance for one of the four worship experiences as we will not have live streaming for our services this Sunday.

Don’t miss this powerful time of experiencing God. This Sunday will be one to remember.

Hurricane Harvey

Christian Life Center — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 14:54:11 +0000

Hurricane Harvey has caused catastrophic flooding across Southeast Texas. Christian Life Center is responding by partnering with Convoy of Hope to bring aid to the many who have been impacted by the hurricane. The COH team is operating their distribution site from a 9,000-square-foot tent in Victoria, Texas, and have set up a drive-through point of distribution. They have begun distributing food, water, and hygiene items as tens of thousands of people are without power and water and could be for several days. They are also distributing product to families in Aransas Pass and Ingleside. They will continue to operate from Victoria in the coming days and will move eastward into Houston when authorities allow safe passage of their vehicles.

If you would like to give toward the relief efforts in Texas, you may give on our website (clcftl.org) by going to the top of the page and click on give. Please put Harvey as the description. You may also give by texting Harvey with your giving amount (ex: Harvey $50) to 954-903-4379. You will also have an opportunity to give in our upcoming services.

Let’s continue to pray for God’s peace, guidance and grace to undergird and grant relief to the many in Southeast Texas who have been devastated by Hurricane Harvey! #clcftl #ImpactingOurWorld

Charlottesville

Christian Life Center — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 21:43:34 +0000

With grieving hearts and deep concern, we watch. We watch as images of anger, fear, racism, and hate fill our screens. We watch as protesters march and counter-protestors respond. We watch as death and tragedy seemingly become more commonplace than ever before.

We watch, but we cannot be silent.

We draft this statement with the firm belief that we are all made in the image of God, regardless of color or ethnicity. We affirm that racism, bigotry, and hatred do not reflect, in any way, the character of Jesus Christ. We stand united to boldly condemn white supremacy and all ideals that promote hate.

The events of the past week in Charlottesville, VA have reminded us that though our country may be divided, the Church of Jesus Christ must stand united. United against voices that seek to elevate one group over an other. United against those who seek to dehumanize others. United against racism in any and all forms. United to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Our faith in Jesus Christ compels us to act – to seek justice and to love mercy. The Parable of the Good Samaritan laid out in Luke 10, speaks to our duty to look after the welfare of all those we encounter. As Church United, we pray that the love of Christ would shine through the Churches of our communities in new and unprecedented ways. We pray that the love found in Jesus Christ would stir our hearts towards justice — towards a time where racism, hatred, and evil are no more.

Together with one voice,

Church United South Florida.
