Verse of the Week: 1 Samuel 3:10b

I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry.

All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save.

I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.

Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have born my peoples pain.

I have wept for love of them, They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone.

I will speak My word to them, Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart.

Tuesday Morning Bible Study at Eagan Pointe Senior Living Center Every Tuesday Morning in January at 9:00 am Pastor Hahn will be leading a book study that began in December on Beth Moore and Dale McClesky's book "A Heart Like His: Intimate reflections on the life of David". This is less like a study and more like a group discussion on the book. We meet on the first floor hospitality room. Anyone is welcome to attend, members and friends of Christ Lutheran Church and residents of Eagan Point Senior Living Center. Currently we have a good mixture of both but we are missing you. Come and join us.

January 22 March for Life Concordia University St Paul will host a Chapel service on Monday, Jan. 22, beginning at 10:30am, at Graebner Memorial Chapel. Come to worship the Author and Perfecter of Life and pray that people everywhere will uphol d the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death, and turn their hearts toward the children.

After chapel, the group will then travel to the Capitol Mall for the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) March For Life which begins at 12:00pm south of the Capitol building. It will be followed by a brief program on the Capitol steps at 12:30. MCCL will introduce its legislative agenda for the upcoming session during the program. Many pro-life elected officials are expected to attend the March and will be introduced to the crowd Jesus said, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” — John 10:10 ESV. On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalized abortion-on-demand nationwide. Each year, pro-life Minnesotans mark the anniversary of Roe and Doe with the MCCL March for Life at the State Capitol in St. Paul.

The purpose of the March is to commemorate the lives lost to abortion (and the women and men who have been hurt as a result) and to call for renewed respect and protection for all members of the human family, including unborn children and their mothers.
