Highlights Sunday Night Serving Pastor Brian has asked the members of CIC to give 1 hour of service to our church per week. One way to do this is to attend Sunday Night Serving. It begins Sept. 7, so please mail your cards in this week.
AWANA starts Sept. 7 This is a great way to do your Sunday Night Serving. For more information, please see Janette Crouch. Prayer Cards for Children
We received a tremendous response from our request to have everyone fill out a yellow prayer card for those wishing to have their children prayed for. We got over 50 cards! Now we need as many prayer warriors as we can get to attend on Mon. evenings at 7:00 pm in the sanctuary to help us pray over each child mentioned. The more people we have, the shorter the time needed. Please send us your card if you haven't already. There is not a deadline for this.
JOY Club
The JOY (Just Older Youth) Club will have its next get together on Friday, Sept. 19 at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. A sign-up sheet is located in the foyer. Please come and bring a friend (Adults Only please). Adult Fellowship
The next night of bowling has not been scheduled yet. We meet at the Boulevard Fun Zone on Eastern Blvd. in Clarksville. Games are $2 each and shoe rental is $1. Join us for lots of fun and fellowship.
Save your ink cartridges If you use HP, Lexmark, or Dell ink cartridges, you can turn in your empty cartridges to CIC and we will get credit towards our ink usage. For every 5 cartridges we collect, we will get a refilled cartridge free. You may drop off your cartridges in Debbie Dockter's office. Read all about it!

Cake mixes Muffin mixes Corn bread mixes Saltine crackers Condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc)
All donations are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help! Helping Hands
This new ministry, to help those in our church family who may have a need from time to time, got off to a great start. If you haven't volunteered, but would be willing to hear about these needs as they arise, and only respond to those you are able to help with, please fill out the purple Helping Hands sheet located in the foyer. You will only be placed on an e-loop to be informed of the needs. You will not be called. For those without email, this information will be placed on the hallway bulletin board. You will be able to respond to these needs as you would like. We really need some more men because some of the needs may be car repairs, home repairs, etc. If you have a need, or know of someone in our church family who may have a need, please let us know by emailing Pam Drake @ communicator7@sbcglobal.net or by phone (502)439-1401, (812)282-4580. If you prefer to have your request remain anonymous, let Pastor Brian or Debbie Dockter know.
Lost something? The lost and found box is located on the table in the main hallway.
