Prayer Groups
Prayer is an important part of our ministries at Clifton Park Center
Baptist Church. Our prayer groups come together to lift up to the
Lord in prayer the needs of families, friends, church and the
world. You are invited to join us in seeking God’s will.
Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will
find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 (NIV).

Men's Ministry
Men's Breakfast
for Adult Men and Boys (9th Grade and up) will meet on the first
Saturday each month at 7:30 a.m. at
the Halfmoon Diner, 231 Grooms Road at Rt. 9, in Halfmoon.
All men and high school age young men are encouraged to attend.
The
Carpenter’s Apprentice – A CPCBC Men’s Ministry Team. Elder and
physically challenged congregants living in their own residences
have a continuing need for minor maintenance and small repairs to
their property. Some have limited ability and funds for these needs.
As a way of supporting one another in love, teams of men will
respond to these needs following the men’s breakfast on the first
Saturday of each month. Funding is provided by the Board of Deacons
through the Fellowship Fund.
Disaster Relief –
In
September of 2005 twelve local men traveled to Wiggins, Mississippi
with chainsaws to help clear downed trees from residences. In 2006
flood clean up teams went to
Sydney, NY
and to Pathfinder Camp in Cooperstown, NY. Our Carpenter’s
Apprentice Ministry team responds to local needs such as flooded
basements. We continue to explore other possibilities for disaster
relief, often in cooperation with American Baptist Men of New York
State and the disaster relief trailer we helped construct.
American Baptist Men of New York State
The mission of American Baptist Men of New York State is to bring
men into a vital relationship with Jesus Christ; to encourage men to
practice their ministry at home, at work and in their community; and
to strengthen the spiritual life of men through shared fellowship,
caring study, and prayer.
ABMen
work together to design service programs and projects that utilize
men’s gifts in ministry; encourage men to join in unison with their
pastors and/or area church leadership in shared ministry; develop
basic skills which men can use in their ministries; and help clarify
men’s role and identity in today’s world. For more information

“For
it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can
boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10 (NIV).

Library Ministries
The Church Library is currently receiving a face-lift and new
materials are being ordered. This Library is a wonderful Christian
Resource for our church and members of the community. In addition
to books on a wide range of topics, we will offer reference books,
videos, music CDs, DVDs and tapes of Pastor Bruce's weekly sermons.

Quilting Group
“Piecemakers” is
a group of women who meet in the Fellowship Hall each Wednesday at
9:30 AM, from September – June, to quilt, sew, knit or complete
favorite craft projects. We sew several quilts for charity and
enjoy this time of fellowship, sharing skills and ideas, and
speaking freely about experiencing God in our lives. You don’t need
to be an expert. Bring your lunch and join us.
“Commit your
work unto the Lord and your thoughts will be established.”
Proverbs 16:3.
SonShine Gardeners
“Sonshine”
Gardeners come together to beautify our church property. Our goal is
to create gardens that will be color coordinated and bloom
throughout the spring and summer seasons. We are learning which
plants perform the best in the soil and in drought conditions. We
invite anyone who enjoys working with plants and loves to play in
the dirt to join us---the fellowship is really great.
