Communication Ministry

The Communication Ministry at Clear Lake United Methodist Church is dedicated to creatively sharing the events and ministries of our church with our members and the greater community. Through printed newsletters and mailouts, bulletins, our website and other forms of media, we help to keep everyone informed and encourage involvement.

We use every means available to help "get the word out" about happenings at CLUMC. By far our most effective means of sharing the message is our people. We all know folks who do not attend church anywhere. The Communications Ministry provides tools to help invite unchurched friends and acquaintances.

The Communication Ministry Office is located across from the Main Office in the Administration Building in Room 201. If you have any questions about a particular job, or how it should be done, please consult with them.

Church Newspaper (The Communicator)
E-mail articles to us by Wednesday at noon the week before the following issue. (These deadlines may change due to holidays or vacations. Please check with the office to confirm deadline dates.)

Church Website
www.clearlakemethodist.org and www.clearlakesingles.org

The church website is updated weekly on Thursdays. Please give information to the Communication Ministry office as soon as you know of your event! We prefer 3-5 business days to post new information and Wednesday at noon for regular articles.

CLUMC Sermons & PodcastsSermons Online...
We are glad you are interested in listening to the sermons from our Sunday Worship Services. We have both Traditional and Contemporary services online. Our sermons are available in the .mp3 format so you can download directly to your computer or you can subscribe to our Sermon Podcasts.

mp3 files...
We have provided the files in the .mp3 format. You can download the files to your computer to enjoy via any .mp3 player including iTunes (which can be downloaded here) or you can listen via Window's Media player (which can be downloaded here.) There is also a direct download link on each sermon file that you can right-click with your mouse and choose "save as" to download the file to your computer to open in your choice of player.

Podcasts... (free!)
We are also making our sermons available as Podcasts. Subscribing to our sermon podcasts is free! You'll automatically receive new sermons as soon as they're released. Think of podcasting like a subscription to a newspaper. Once you subscribe to the podcast, it will automatically update new content (in this case, an audio copy of a sermon) to your reader as it becomes available. The content is downloaded to your PC, Mac or mobile device so you can access it whenever you want. Even though the name implies the requirement of an iPod, you actually don't need an iPod to subscribe to podcasts. All you need is a computer, some software, and an internet connection.
