New Piano Praise The Lord

new piano

God works again in mysterious ways at the Clearfield Community Church!

Beginning in 2010, the piano in the sanctuary  began to seriously deteriorate.  It became impossible to hold a tuning, and some of the keys began to malfunction.  Competent tuners and advise was sought.  The Wurlizer Company was attempted to be contacted (the piano was less than 12 years old) and it was discovered the company was no longer in business and all warranties and any contracts were voided. Even with constant attention, the piano became a greater and greater expense with less and less reliability.  If speaking of a car you might say, “it was a lemon!”  The Worship Ministry constantly tried to find a fix and it was becoming obvious that good money was going to useless causes.  Throughout 2011 constant care and attention was attempted but the results were futile.  The Church Council was kept informed and various suggestions made.  People began to pray for the Lord’s plan.  It appeared the piano would ultimately need to be replaced.  The Christmas season was especially embarrassing.  At the beginning of 2012, piano replacement began to be researched.  An anonymous donor has “paid in full” for a replacement instrument.  Delivery is expected January 26th.

Praise the Lord.  I trust you will bow your head and heart with humble thanksgiving for the anonymous donor and for God’s unexpected intervention.

Sincerely reported, Richard Axmann, chairman of Facilities Ministries.

Wow, what a great bunch of people

PrayingLast night we had the first of this year’s council meetings. It was wonderful. I am so grateful that I get to work with and fellowship with people whose hearts are on fire for the Lord.  If last night is any indication we can expect to have an exciting time this year working to bring people to the Lord.

Thanks everyone for being open to God’s will.

One Person at a Time

One Person at a TimeI found a wonderful quote from Mother Teresa. “I never look at the masses as my responsibility; I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time – just one, one, one. So you begin. I began – I picked up one person. Maybe if I didn’t pick up that one person, I wouldn’t have picked up forty-two thousand….The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family, the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin – one, one, one.”

I believe in my heart that we need to do that same thing in our church, in our community, in our lives. Let’s all pick one person to pick up and love, then let’s see what happens. I am sure God will bless us all.

A Poem

Friends 

Flow with passage of life among friends

Have time marked with affirming ties

For a chosen few form a passing world

Illumine a presence from a time past

Rediscover these endearing threads that bind

When a heart summons warmth for life 

As seasons mount with certain imminence

Place a log on the dying embers

Let the flames of love spiral upward

For a cherished someone’s 

Special magic to recapture

The Real Miracle of Christmas

Winter Gifts

 

Christmas time has past,

The joy and celebration

Of Christ’s birth

Still fresh in our memories.

A time of stillness pauses across the land

A time of wonder

A time of awe

A time when gentle snowflakes fall

A time of reflection

A time of renewal

A time when sunlight dances

Upon the glistening snow,

As the landscape is bathed in winter white.

A time to thank God for the winter gifts

That He imparts,

That renews our spirits,

and warms our hearts.

JAN 2012


 Welcome to the Clearfield Community Church Web Site

We are very pleased you have visited our Web Site today. We believe God has a great plan for your life and also our Church.   Together, we can experience the joy of this discovery. Please consider becoming a part of our church family. We would love to have you!

WE BELIEVE

Christians should live with high standards befitting the high standards of our Lord—“the greatest of these is love” –I Corinthians 13

Be a born again believer in Jesus Christ who is the Lord & Savior who has been baptized according to the Biblical pattern

  1. Study the Bible as THE trustworthy document which guides faith, practice, and lifestyle
  2. Support the works of God through prayer, other spiritual disciplines, and personal effort and action
  3. Practice Christian stewardship through tithing and giving time, money, and personal service to God’s work through the local church
  4. Attend Worship regularly with the goal of attending Worship 52 weeks per year
  5. Discern and exercise one’s own Spiritual Gifts at home, the workplace, community, & church to build up the Kingdom of God
  6. Speak well of God’s work in one’s own life and the church
  7. Share one’s faith in Christ with enthusiasm and passion
  8. Work through, with gentle creativity, love, and Biblical principles, the inevitable conflicts and differences in people
  9. Be involved in a ministry, Small Group, Christian Education class—or start one

A growing church like ours must stimulate and encourage each other to keep up the good Godly work.

Always remember Jesus “The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  –John 1: 14

 

 ************************************************************************

5 Because you have these blessings, do your best to add these things to your lives: to your faith, add goodness; and to your goodness, add knowledge;6 and to your knowledge, add self-control; and to your self-control, add patience; and to your patience, add service for God;7 and to your service for God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love.8 If all these things are in you and are growing, they will help you to be useful and productive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.9 But anyone who does not have these things cannot see clearly. He is blind and has forgotten that he was made clean from his past sins. 2Peter,NCV
