During the worship that was part of the training session for cluster leaders held last November at the Life Enrichment Center in Fruitland Park, the Rev. Catherine Fluck Price asked cluster leaders to "let go of the clutter" and view clusters not as one more thing that adds to that clutter, but "the thing that can allow us to focus on what God really wants us to be doing — loving God and one another."
