Verse of the Week: Psalm 147:11

Entrust your days and burdens To God’s most loving hand; He cares for you while ruling The sky, the sea, the land.

For He who guides the tempests Along their thunderous ways Will find for you a pathway And guide you all your days.

Take heart, have hope, my spirit, And do not be dismayed; God helps in every trial And makes you unafraid.

Await His time with patience Through darkest hours of night Until the sun you hoped for Delights your eager sight.

Leave all to His direction; His wisdom rules for you In ways to rouse your wonder At all His love can do.

Soon He, His promise keeping, With wonder-working powers Will banish from your spirit What gave you troubled hours.

Pastor Claude Houge is leading worship again this weekend on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. He will also teach the Adult Bible Class on Sunday morning.

This coming Sunday the Sunday School children will learn about David and Jonathan, and how they reflected the love of God in their hearts and also spoke well of each other. So, too, our love for others is the reflection of God's love given to us through Christ.

Don’t forget to pick up the pizzas you ordered from the CLC Youth Sunday between 12 and 2 pm!

New Cradle Roll Person Needed!

Christ Lutheran Church cares for infants up to 3 years on our Cradle Roll. Ginger Hasche has taken care of this for a number of years, and we thank her for her faithful service! Now it’s time to find someone new to take this over.

It’s a very meaningful ministry of encouragement to the parents and the little ones. Please consider if you would be the right person to take this over. Call the church office or talk to Ginger if you want to know more!
