Join a Shepherds’ Dinner Group Adult Mission Trip
Leave a Trace Shepherds’ groups are dinner groups of 8 people who meet four times in each other’s homes between May and September. Each time the group meets, the host provides the main dish, and the others in the group bring an appetizer, salad, or dessert. This is a great way to get to know other people, both members and visitors of CLC, on a more intimate basis. Adult only and family groups are available. Deadline to sign up is April 30th so please sign the response sheet.
Stewardship Update
The Stewardship Team is pleased with the responses we have received from our members to the 2013-14 Stewardship Campaign. So far, we have 175 families who have either returned a commitment card or continued their electronic giving. These commitments translate into just over $520,000 towards our mission of gathering, gifting and sending followers of Jesus Christ. It is not too late to return your Commitment Card, if you have not already done so. Thank you for your continued generosity to Christ Lutheran Church!
Semi Annual Meeting CLC will be holding its Semi Annual Meeting on Saturday May 11th at 6:00 right after the Saturday service. We will be holding an election of members to Council, Legacy and Endowment and the Preschool Advisory Team. Please join us for a good old Lutheran pot luck. We are asking everyone to bring a main dish, salad, side dish, wine/beer or dessert to share.
May 13-17th
Our adult mission trip to Sky Ranch a Youth camp in the Poudre Valley will take place the week of May 13-17th. Last year 15 of us totally refurbished one of the retreat centers. It was absolutely amazing the difference a little hard work can make. Anyone can come we need people who can sew, build, paint, dig, carry trash or just about anything. Please check your calendar and see if you can help us it is really fun and you make a lot of new friends. You don’t have to come for the whole time a couple of days is just fine. Sky Ranch gives us a place to stay in their lodge and feeds us. We will be raising money to pay for supplies which Sky Ranch has estimated to be $2100.00 for the retreat center. There is a little cabin in the Narthex that you can drop a check or cash into or just put a check in the offering plate and mark it Adult mission trip. See Debby for more details.
