CELEBRATING 60 YEARS AT CLAY
In March of 1966, a faithful group of families were called by God to plant a new church on the then north side of South Bend. Now, 60 years later, we are excited to celebrate their faithful step and Clay Church's 60 years of ministry and mission. The celebration begins on March 1 in worship as we kick off a year of recognition, remembering, and special events!
SECOND HALF ADVENTURERS
You are invited for lunch and a special presentation by Clay Church member Paul McBride on personal safety and security in a complicated world. Lunch is available with pre-registration by March 8.
CAN OPENER DRIVE
Collecting through February
Did you ever stop and think about whether the recipient of cans of food has a can opener? We are collecting can openers (new) to be distributed through our food pantry and partner ministries. Drop them off before worship on Sundays, or deliver them to the office at the Firehouse Campus during office hours.
