CLN Lunch Recap October 18 Luncheon

THANK YOU to all who joined us for our first CLN lunch on Oct 18! And a huge thank you to Adventist Health and Bucky Weeks for providing the room and lunch.

Here is a quick recap of our meeting if you weren’t able to attend:

• CLN Announcements: No Meeting in November! Also, we welcomed the newest member of the CLN coordinators team, Orris Whitley of Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Lemoore. Welcome Orris!
• We received an update about the activities of the Kings Gospel Mission which is heavily involved in the current city-wide discussion on assisting the homeless. Dave Clevenger announced that KGM is also about to open some new beds for women for the first time at the mission.
• Dave also shared about the current challenge faced by his daughter, Samantha, who is battling stage 4 cancer. Dave and his family are demonstrating incredible faith in God as they walk through this season. If you would like to stay updated, you can do so at https://www.caringbridge.org/public/samanthaclevenger Your prayers are needed.
• Our featured presenter was Lester Moon from Hands in the Community. Lester shared how his organization is designed to partner with churches to meet the practical needs of people in our community. Hands in the Community coordinates hundreds of volunteers and thousands of projects each year. If your church is looking for service opportunities or for a partner in addressing practical needs faced by many, Lester should be on your speed dial! https://hnconline.org/
