Verse of the Week: Matthew 28:20b
Christ is our cornerstone, On Him alone we build; With His true saints alone The courts of heav’n are filled. On His great love Our hopes we place Of present grace And joys above. Here may we gain from heav’n The grace which we implore, And may that grace, once giv’n, Be with us evermore Until that day When all the blest To endless rest Are called away. Oh, then, with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing And thus proclaim In joyful song, Both loud and long, That glorious name.

Cottage Meetings at CLC As part of the Christ Lutheran Church Reconciliation (healing broken relationships) 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 of each month beginning June 11th and continuing until August 27th at 10:30 am. That is a total of 6 scheduled Cottage Meetings. Please sign up for the date that best works with you. There are sheets on the red bulletin board in the narthex.

CLC Constitution News A new copy of the CLC constitution is available that includes the bylaws changes that were made in January. The revised version has a blue cover with the LCMS cross. We ask that you return or destroy any old copies to avoid any confusion. If you need one sent to you, please call or email the church office (christlutheraneagan@outlook.com ). Meanwhile, the Constitution Committee is hard at work to streamline the structure of CLC and make it more adaptable to the current needs of the church. You will be hearing more in the future!
