Verse of the Week:
The man is ever blessed Who shuns the sinners’ ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners’ place, But makes the Law of God His study and delight Amid the labors of the day And watches of the night. He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit.

Phone Blasts When there are important announcements for the members of Christ, we send out an automated phone blast. This is to alert you about funerals or other important information you should know. The phone list comes from Shepherd’s Staff, our church database. This past week, an announcement was sent about the funeral for Sherrill Champion. If you did not receive it, it might be because of one of these reasons: 1. We don’t have the correct or current phone number for you. 2. A message was left on your voicemail, but since it was automatic, it might have ended before your voice mail picked it up. 3. Your phone might be set to block 1-888 numbers, which is how the automated message came. 4. If you don’t have voicemail or an answering machine, and you did not answer the phone, you will not get called back automatically. We tried to follow-up on some of these since we get lists of people who were not reached. If you have any questions, please call the church office. And if you have a new phone number for the head of household, please let us know! Thank you for your help and understanding!
Transportation Needed – A CLC couple needs help getting from Eagan to Farmington and back once a week. A larger car or van is necessary. Please contact the church office if you can help. (651-454-4091)
Next Sunday: Pastor's Sunday Morning Bible Study - 10:30-11:15 "7 Christian Rules That Every Christian Ought To Break As Often As Possible" Based on the Book written by Jonathan Fisk 1. Never follow a rule that follows your liver, your heart, your pancreas, or any other bodily organ that could conceivably have its mind changed by the shifting of the wind. 2. Never follow a rule that wasn't written in stone a very, very long time ago (doubly so if the grass is always greener on the other side because it's made of plastic). 3. Never follow a rule because it makes sense (especially if it promises to work because it makes sense [and especially, especially if it either contains the words "spirit-led" or can be entirely explained by a petri dish full of midi-chlorians]). 4. Never follow a rule because it benefits you now (and if it mentions "abundance," run screaming from the room). 5. Never follow a rule that has to start over (again and again... and again...) again. 6. Never follow a rule that doesn't like rules. 7. Never follow a rule in order to justify yourself. Seriously.
