Verse of the Week: Psalm 100:1-2

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise Him, for He is your health and salvation!

Let all who hear Now to His temple draw near, Joining in glad adoration!

Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things is wondrously reigning And, as on wings of an eagle, uplifting, sustaining.

Have you not seen All that is needful has been Sent by His gracious ordaining?

Praise to the Lord, who has fearfully, wondrously, made you, Health has bestowed and, when heedlessly falling, has stayed you.

What need or grief Ever has failed of relief?

Wings of His mercy did shade you.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him! All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him! Let the Amen Sound from His people again; Gladly forever adore Him!

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.

EAGAN MARKET FEST Christ Lutheran Church and Preschool will be participating in the Eagan Market Fest on Wednesday, June 21, from 4 – 8pm. We will be sharing a booth with Kick Start Martial Arts (owned by members Paul and Kellie Sisk). We are looking for volunteers to man the booth. Please see Michele Lukanen to volunteer. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet Eagan residents and spread the Word of God!

Portals of Prayer Don’t forget to pick up your daily devotional for July-September on the table in the narthex. It’s a great (and quick!) way to be in God’s Word and prayer throughout the summer.

Also, Lutherans for Life has a Summer edition of LifeDate available.

Keep current on how you can keep this important ministry in your prayers.

And Ladies! A new copy of the Lutheran Women’s Quarterly and the MN South District Women on a Mission just arrived! Pick up your copies on the LWML table today!
