The first day of Sunday school will be September 11th, 2016. Preschool at Christ Lutheran begins on September 12 and 13. Please keep this ministry to these little ones in your prayers, as well as the teachers! Did you miss Bible Class? Or maybe you want to recap the discussion. “Lead Like JESUS BIBLE Study UPDATES” are available on the church website. Pastor will post a brief synopsis of the lesson for anyone who could not attend. The updates are located under the Adult Education link within the Worship tab on the website navigation bar.
The Human Care Board would like to thank everyone who donated to the July food drive. Food and money were taken to the Open Door Pantry in Eagan, and it was greatly appreciated! God bless you all! Also, a big thanks to those who came to help clean and sanitize toys for the preschool. It’s a big job, and your help was much appreciated!
Upcoming Meetings and Events The Board of Youth will be holding a meeting on Sunday, September 4, at 12:00 pm to discuss the Youth Family Accounts at Christ Lutheran Church. The discussion will focus upon the distribution of the money from the account to the Youth General Fund, another fund within CLC, or to a Youth Mission Fund. If you have any questions relating to this meeting, you can talk to the Chairperson of the Board of Youth (Melissa Clawson) or the Vice President of CLC (Jim Struck). Rally day: Please join us on Sunday, September 11, at 11:15 for a picnic lunch and games to kick off the Sunday School and Bible Class year. Hot dogs and chips will be provided. If possible, please bring a dessert to share. This fun event is for all of the congregation. See you there! (Yes, we said free hot dogs and lots of desserts! Why would you miss this?) Coming Up Soon! Community Blood Drive: On Thursday, September 8th, Christ Lutheran Church will be sponsoring a Red Cross blood drive from 12:00-5:00 pm. To schedule appointments please call 1-800-REDCROSS (800-733-2767) or register online at www.redcrossblood.org and enter sponsor code: Christ Luth Church. There is also a sign-up sheet in the narthex. The "Lead Like Jesus" study will continue every Sunday morning. Through this study, we will hopefully experience Jesus in a new and different way, as we grow to trust and follow Him and as we seek to come together and lead others to the Cross. It is my prayer and desire that "Lead Like Jesus" will be the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in our journey to becoming effective servant leaders as we gather together to be fed and strengthened through God's Word and teachings.
