Verse of the Week:
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way; When sorrows, like sea billows, roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate And hath shed His own blood for my soul. He lives—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought; My sin, not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! And, Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend; Even so it is well with my soul. It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul. LSB 763 Text (sts. 1, ref, 2–4) and Music: Public domain Created by Lutheran Service Builder © 2006 Concordia Publishing House.
VOTERS’ MEETING – This Sunday! Oct. 23 – 11:30am (after Bible Class) This is a very important meeting with election of officers and those serving on the Boards of Christ Lutheran Church. Please look again at the article that was in the October Newsletter about the many opportunities to serve your church. We all need to be part of the church to be effective in moving forward in God’s Kingdom. Please consider how you can use your gifts to help. Contact a member of the Church Council. They will also be contacting many of our members in the next few weeks. In addition to electing officers and approving new members of the Boards and Committees for 2017 at this meeting, some changes to the Constitution will be presented for discussion. These changes need to be presented three times before we can vote on them. The changes include: - Women to be included for the Officer positions (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) - Bylaw, Article III-C – Change “Chairman” to “Chairperson” in the two places where it appears - Bylaw Article IV-B – End the sentence with “twenty-one years of age.” - Bylaw Article VI-A – In paragraphs 1 & 5 change “Chairman” to “Chairperson”
