Verse of the Week:
There is one thing I ask of the Lord: To dwell in His house forever, To gaze on the beauty of the Lord All the days of my life. The Lord is my light and my salvation, The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Since the Lord is my life, my strength, and my all, Whom then shall I fear? Teach me, Lord, and keep me on Your paths; Guide me, Lord, along a level way. I will gaze on the goodness of the Lord In the land of all the living. LSB 723; Text and Music: admin.

Sunday Morning Bible Study "The Joy of Being a Church Member" There is great joy to be found in being a Church Member. But what is a Church Member? Is being a Church Member like being a member of one of the many clubs I already belong to or is it different? Are there membership dues? What am I obligated to do as a Church Member? Let's get together and share, read, and learn some of the answers to the many questions we have. The Bible Study will take place in the Fellowship Hall following a little fellowship time.
New Eagan Pointe Bible Study on Tuesday Morning! The group that meets at Eagan Pointe at 9:00am Tuesday is starting a study of David with the book “A Heart Like His” by Beth Moore. God will never give up on you. Explore how David's life proves this promise to be true. In this examination of the “man after God's own heart,” David will delight and disappoint you. You'll want to be just like him at times and nothing like him at others. If you've ever experienced doubts, temptations, losses, family problems, or personal inconsistencies, this study is for you! Now it a great time to join this group.
This week’s lesson: “David and Goliath” God commands that we respect His name. As David slew the giant Goliath, so Jesus (our David) slew the giants of sin, Satan, and death with the weapon of His own death. We will learn how we can face the “Goliaths” in our life with confidence.
Order your Poinsettias Today! It’s not too soon to think about Christmas because poinsettia orders have to be in by this Sunday, November 19! For just $10, you can choose between red, pink, or white. A sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex near the flower chart. You may specify to give a poinsettia in honor or in memory of a loved one. Please print clearly, and make your checks payable to Christ Lutheran Church. Note “poinsettia” on the memo line. If you can’t make it to church to sign up, just call the church office – 651-454-4091. Poinsettias are always so beautiful in the church at Christmas!
