Guest speakers a-coming!

I always get excited about guest speakers at CLC -- and, no, it's not just because I get a break from the pulpit duties. (I could read some of your thoughts, there). It's because I've seen how an impartation takes place when one of our special guests brings his anointing and gifting to CLC. In fact, we most often invite men & women into our pulpit whose gifts differ from my own, in order to give all of us the added benefit of the many-splendored gifts in the body of Christ.

And Pentecost Weekend (May 26-27) is certainly no exception to this rule. We're welcoming 2 outstanding guests, 1 a new friend and 1 who is certainly no stranger:

Joel Brooks is an outstanding communicator with terrific insights into Scripture, and pastors a thriving, 3,000-member multicultural church in Kalamazoo, MI. (With it's name being Christian Life Center, how could it not be thriving?). Joel will ONLY be speaking on Saturday, May 26 at 6:00pm, so make your plans accordingly. He has recently witnessed some incredible miracles of healing in his ministry, with people getting out of wheelchairs, etc., so we're expecting a real celebration of Pentecost that you won't want to miss!

And of course, Bishop Tudor Bismark hardly needs an introduction, as the newest member of our Pastoral Board of Directors and a real CLC favorite. He'll be ministering at both Sunday morning services as well as a special Sunday evening service at 6pm. You'll want to get here early on Sunday night, as several area churches will be joining us for a great celebration - and with Memorial Day the next day, we may party all night!

You can get an e-vite at www.clctoday.org - so start inviting your friends & family now!
