Messy Church

2011-10-11T10:17:00.000+01:00

Sunday 23rd Oct sees our very first Messy Church @ CLC.

Messy Church is a once a month, creative, fun and engaging time for the family, to connect with each other, and to learn about God. It's a fun filled, family time to be together, to eat together, to play together, to create together and to laugh together.

We'll be starting at 3:30pm with games and crafts, culminating in stories and songs and then eating tea together, to be finished by 5:30pm. We are providing everything for free but know some people like to contribute so if that's you there will be an opportunity to do just that.

Messy Church will be suitable for all ages and we'd LOVE to see you there.

stories from the family - healed of abuse

2010-12-07T16:59:00.008Z

Welcome to the fortnightly story from Christian Life Church, Shipley. Every fortnight we publish stories from the church family here at CLC. We believe in and serve a loving, caring God who desires to express His love towards us in all sorts of ways. These stories will tell you something of the type of God we love.

My childhood was not the nicest! I suffered years of the most painful abuse of various kinds when growing up and as a result I felt insignificant and rejected. I heard that God loved me but it never actually meant anything to me. It just went in one ear and out the other. I just couldn’t accept it.

However, as I worked through the issues from my past and allowed God to heal my emotional wounds I can truly say that I now KNOW the Father’s love, acceptance and inheritance for my life without question, and am able to walk with Jesus in a freedom that I never thought I could lay hold of. I am a beautiful, precious daughter of the King of Kings, an heir with my Saviour Jesus. I am so grateful to God and for the people at CLC for showing me the way and working with me to bring me through to a completely new place.

2010-10-27T21:11:00.002+01:00

"Since joining CLC I have met lots of people who are genuine. They have become friends who are interested in me as a person and have talked to me and wanted to get to know me for who I am. They have accepted me as I am. This has built me up as a person."

Stories from the family - Not about rules

2010-09-10T14:52:00.002+01:00

"Having been born and brought up in church all my life, CLC is very different from any other church I’ve ever been in. I’ve learnt that Christianity isn’t about being good, or about rules and regulations to get right and get to heaven. Instead I understand now that it’s about a heart relationship with Jesus and other people and about living an abundant life now. I have also learnt how much God loves me, that I’m precious and special, that He delights in me and that relationship is everything."

Teachings in August - Week 3

2010-08-23T13:46:00.002+01:00

For four weeks in August we are keeping the children in the meeting the whole time and are looking at 4 different parables that Jesus told. Each week we are also having a memory verse with a prize for those who can remember all four at the end of the month. The first weeks parable was the parable of the sower from Matthew 13.

The memory verse is "Those who truly hear and understand God's word, produce a harvest”Matt 13:23 (NLT).

Last week we considered the parable of the wheat and the tares, also from Matthew 13.

The memory verse this week is "God’s people will shine like the sun in their Fathers Kingdom." Matt 13:43 (NIrV).

Yesterday we looked at the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl, also from Matt 13.

This weeks memory verse is "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness" Matt 6:33 (NKJV)

Stories from the family - Marriage Improved

2010-08-12T14:02:00.002+01:00

"As I have learnt to understand that God is interested in me for being me it has enabled me to see just how important relationships are. These relationships have made the times that I go around the mountains fewer, and the times that I see the mountains move greater. There are many things where my wife and I have seen mountains move, from times such as when we were struggling to have children. God moved the mountain in a powerful way, and we now have two wonderful children.

One of the other mountains that God moved in a way where we really didn't think was going to be possible was with regards to our marriage. It felt as though it was going nowhere; we both thought that we were doing everything that we could for each other but we just were not seeing it improve. A marriage course was run at CLC so we participated in the course and I think that the Godly wisdom that was in the course saved our marriage and gave us steps to take on a daily basis to help us communicate with each other in a way that is selfless. As we worked on the steps, it enabled us to love each other in a new way and we appreciated each other far more."

Stories from the Family - Free of Debt

2010-07-06T12:00:00.006+01:00

"Things were going OK. I was a nightclub DJ, had a good job, a new house, a new car every year and money in my pocket. Then things turned for the worst and our son Nathan Lee died at birth. He only weighed 2 pounds at birth and could not hold on.

I had to stay off work to look after my partner, which meant that I was not earning, so the bills piled up and piled up some more. Two years passed and we had another child, a girl who was fine but the bills kept on piling up. Three years passed and my partner had enough and left.

It all was too much for my head to handle so I decided to try and sort things out myself. The funny thing is the more I tried to get it sorted the worse it got. Whilst all this was going on my family decided to have a family feud and that put the icing on the cake.

Amongst this I had a visitor from the police to explain what was going on with the family and they asked how I was doing. I had lost the plot and told her exactly how I was doing! The police officer was very understanding and as she left she gave me a leaflet about debt counselling with a Christian organisation.

You can imagine my thoughts - The God squad is out to get me! After a week I finally rang the number and got an appointment to talk about my debts. It was a long process and I had to take the bankruptcy route in the end. It took 2 years to get my debts sorted out but in the meantime I met my lovely wife who had two great kids and we have been blessed with another. I became a Christian when my debts were getting sorted and I felt a great peace that someone was looking out for me helping me to understand the reasons why.

Ten years on and I have no debt. I don’t have to worry about money or how the gas bill is going to get paid. In fact I worry for nothing because God has promised to look after me, my wife and my kids. And He does."
