Verse of the Week: Deuteronomy 7:6

Church of God, elect and glorious, Holy nation, chosen race; Called as God’s own special people, Royal priests and heirs of grace: Know the purpose of your calling, Show to all His mighty deeds; Tell of love that knows no limits, Grace that meets all human needs.

God has called you out of darkness Into His most marv’lous light; Brought His truth to life within you, Turned your blindness into sight.

Let your light so shine around you That God’s name is glorified And all find fresh hope and purpose In Christ Jesus crucified.

Church of God, elect and holy, Be the people He intends; Strong in faith and swift to answer Each command your Master sends: Royal priests, fulfill your calling Through your sacrifice and prayer; Give your lives in joyful service— Sing His praise, His love declare.

Cottage Meetings at CLC Summer Cottage Meetings, Sundays at 10:30am August 13th & 27th As part of the Christ Lutheran Church Reconciliation Effort, the church will be providing Cottage Meetings. These meetings are to focus upon healing broken relationships, both our relationship with God and our relationship with others. These meeting allow members of the church to get to know each other better, talk and listen to each other and, if in a broken relationship, work toward reconciling with each other, and do a little dreaming together as we move toward a preferred future in the church.

These meeting are best done in small groups of 10-12 people. For the sake of order and to stimulate open and honest discussions, Pastor Hahn and one or two Elders will be present. These meeting will take place on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in August at 10:30 am. Please sign up for the date that best works with you. There are sheets on the red bulletin board in the narthex.

Lutheran Witness Subscriptions If you renewed or began a subscription to the Lutheran Witness, please make a check out to Christ Lutheran Church for $19.70. Either drop it in the offering, bring it to the office, or mail it in. Thanks so much for your help!

Mission: Anyuak Bible Distribution!

In August, Omot Ochan will be returning to Kenya to distribute Anyuak Bibles to people in refugee camps. Some of the Anyuak people have been moved from one camp to another, and often they are not able to take all of their possessions with them. Many are requesting Bibles so that they have God’s Word in their own language to sustain them in their struggles and their joys.

Please assist Omot with his travel expenses. There will be door offerings after services this weekend: July 29 & 30
