Verse of the Week: Ezekiel 34:11
Christ, our good and faithful shepherd, Watching all Your lambs and sheep; Christ, the gate that guards the sheepfold, Never-failing vigil keep. When we stray, Good Shepherd, seek us, Find us, lift us, bear us home; Lamb of God, our shepherd, keep us; Let us hear Your voice alone. Christ, the way that leads unfailing To the Father’s home on high, Christ, the truth that frees the captive, Christ, the life that cannot die. Mediator to the Father, Sacrifice and great High Priest: Lead us to Your heav’nly mansions, There to share Your wedding feast. LSB 540, vs. 4, 5; © 2001 Steven P.

There is no Sunday School or Bible Class this week after church.
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.
Our thanks to Pastor James Fuchs for leading our worship this weekend. May God bless and keep as you continue to serve Him!
Thanks to our faithful volunteers and donors for your help with our Nov. Blood Drive. While we did not meet our goal, we did collect 38 units of blood and that can help as many as 114 people. May 8, 2018 will be our next drive at Christ Lutheran.
