Verse of the Week: Ephesians 5:8
I want to walk as a child of the light. I want to follow Jesus. God set the stars to give light to the world. The star of my life is Jesus. In Him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus. I want to see the brightness of God. I want to look at Jesus. Clear Sun of Righteousness, shine on my path, And show me the way to the Father. In Him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus. I’m looking for the coming of Christ. I want to be with Jesus. When we have run with patience the race, We shall know the joy of Jesus. In Him there is no darkness at all. The night and the day are both alike. The Lamb is the light of the city of God. Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH & PRESCHOOL Saturday, April 8, at 10 A.M. 1930 Diffley Rd., Eagan (West Lot) Bring Your Own Basket! All ages welcome! Join us for fun! Visit www.christlutheraneagan.org/preschool to register by April 5th, 2017.
Easter Cantata Saturday, April 8, at 5:00 pm. The CLC choir will be presenting "Behold the Lamb!" – a musical and narrative journey that underscores the significant price that Jesus paid for our salvation. It recalls Israel's release from Egyptian bondage with the Passover Lamb, a foretelling of God's divine plan to provide the Holy Lamb as the ultimate sacrifice for our spiritual freedom. The despair of Christ's crucifixion eventually gives way to joy in a triumphant celebration of His resurrection!
The Worship Board is hosting an
Ice Cream Social after The Easter Cantata on Saturday, April 8 Be sure to stay and enjoy the treats and the fellowship!

She will be there June 9-17. Hannah is covering most of the expenses herself (including her airfare and other trip costs), but she still needs $425 by April 17. Any amount donated would be very much appreciated. You can either write a check to Hannah Hartog or donate the money at her fundraising page: https://share.habitat.org/hannah-hartog-gvt17703. Also, keep Hannah in your prayers as she prepares for her trip. We look forward to her sharing about it after she returns! Mary Marlow (mother of Denise Marlow) has been on the CLC prayer list for some time. She recently sent her thanks for your prayers and concern and wants you to know how much your prayers are appreciated!
