Free Community Dinner – Sunday, April 27

Everyone is invited to our Free Community Dinner on Sunday, April 27 from 5 to 6:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Come enjoy a delicious meal, good conversation, and the joy of community. This month's menu includes: ham with pineapple glaze, mac & cheese, roasted broccoli, biscuits, walnut raisin spring salad, and Easter cookies for dessert! Bring a friend or neighbor—there’s a place at the table for all! This dinner is offered on the 4th Sunday of every month, so mark your calendars and join us regularly. We’d love to see you there!

Help Us Fill the Free Little Pantries!

This Easter, as we celebrate the hope and new life of the Resurrection, let’s also bring hope to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. We have three Free Little Pantries on our church campus that offer food and necessities 24/7 to anyone in need. Right now, our pantries are a bit bare!

We invite you to help us restock them this Easter Season by bringing non-perishable food items, canned goods, or hygiene products to worship. Look for the collection baskets in the East Wing. You can also help financially by noting "pantries" on your gift. Let’s share the love of Christ in a tangible way—because hope is best when it’s shared.

Church Office Closed – Easter Monday

Monday Night BS – Cancelled for Easter Monday, April 21

In honor of Easter Monday and to provide a time of rest for our congregation, Monday Night Bible Study will be cancelled this Monday.

Clearview's Staff Appreciation Day - May 18th!

Traditionally, October is staff appreciation month. Between the Pumpkin Patch and hurricane season, the busyness of October doesn't allow time for Clearview to focus on celebrating our staff. So, May 18th has been designated as Clearview's Staff Appreciation Day. During the four Sundays in April, we will be taking a special love offering for Pastor Erick, Diana Wells, Stephen Brinkley, and our three nursery attendants: Rachel Cuevas, Sydney Lawson, and Hailey Fay. A unique offering envelope will be available each of the Sundays in April; you can also give online or via text using the designation "Staff" Your gifts will be presented during the worship service on May 18. Thank you for prayerfully considering your love offering to our staff, who go way above and beyond to care for us and our campus.

"The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching." - 1 Timothy 5:17 NIV
