You can help disaster relief efforts in Haiti by contributing through ELCA Disaster Response, one of the best organizations available to deliver help where it’s needed quickly and efficiently. And if you’re a member of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, your donation will be matched $1 for every $2 you contribute (up to $250).
“Rejoice,” writes St. Paul, “and again I say, ‘Rejoice!’” What better word to describe the upcoming events at Christ Lutheran Church during the month of December?
Inspiring worship on the four Sundays in Advent, as we light the Advent wreath, gaze upon the blue paraments (the color of hope), observe the Christmas tree being transformed week by week, and sing the prayer, “O come, O come, Emmanuel.”
Special Advent worship services, each Wednesday evening, from 7:00-7:45. Titled “Yet In thy Dark Streets Shineth,” these services focus on our Advent journey to three significant locations in ancient Israel: Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem, highlighting the coming of the Lord. Worship will be held on December 2, 9, and 16.
TOP 10 REASONS TO LIKE CLC
(By Scott Kludt and Mark Stein for a Friends at Christ event)
Here’s your opportunity to help decorate our new building! Our interior designers, Lisa Nelson and Connie Uhri, have decided to use the long wall in the entry way facing Lovers Lane to display a collection of crosses donated by each member/family at CLC. If you would like to participate, please purchase a cross that you like (or bring one you already have), not to exceed 12”/15” in size, composed of any material or design that you prefer.
Simply by grocery shopping, you can contribute funds to Christ Lutheran Church. Both Kroger and Tom Thumb will donate a portion of what you spend to the Christ Lutheran Church Women. These monies are used for improvements within the church.
