Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Pastor Randy and Pastor Karen were married on July 1^st.  We celebrated their union on July 15^th with an appetizer and dessert reception.  There was lots of love and laughter. Thanks to Lisa Witzke and Linda Radefeld for all the planning of this event. 

Bishop-Elect Abraham Allende was elected on May 17th, 2014 at the

Northeast Ohio Synod Assembly and will be installed on Saturday, September 13th at 2pm at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1361 West Market Street, Akron, Ohio.

                           Congratulations Kaley!

She has been placed to serve in the United Kingdom in a suburb of London.  She will leave on August 13th and serve in the mission field for one year.  (Marikka Pretz-Anderson and Jackie Schuhle also participated in this ministry.)  For those who would like to support Kaley and the YAGM program, you can mark an envelope as"YAGM-Kaley" and it will be credited to her.  Checks can be made to CRLC.

TECHNOLOGY & VIDEO experts!

 As many of you are well aware, we recently installed a monitor for announcements in the gathering space, along with a projection system for our sanctuary. We are now wanting to put together a "Techno Team" to help utilize and enhance our new capabilities. If you have some savvy and interest in this area, please talk to Pastor Randy.
