Centenary Loves Lexington
February 2006
CLL is a one day cross-cultural ministry experience in the Lexington area coordinated by the Local Impact Team (LIT). All ministry was team-based with trained leadership. Specific servant ministry opportunities that Centenary served in 2006 are listed below. Some were "family friendly," while others are for adult volunteers only.
An annual event, CLL seeks ...
 | to bless the city of Lexington with the love of God |
| to expose adults, teens and youth to an experience of servant ministry |
| to establish closer ties with many of the Christian organizations that are doing ministry within the area |
| to provide a one-day opportunity for persons to make a difference |
| to be obedient to the commandments of God to reach out to others in Jesus' name |
