Discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls: An Introductory Class

Pastor Eric is excited to offer a daytime class here at Christ Lutheran that takes an introductory look at the Dead Sea Scrolls. This class begins at 10:00am in the SonRise Room, and is next offered on Thursday August 2nd, and then once more on Thursday August 16th. Finally, the class transitions to a Church Group Trip to see the scrolls at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Sunday afternoon on August 19th. Ticket prices for the Church Group Trip are $25 for adults, $20 for Seniors (65 and older), and $18 for youth (18 and younger). The registration and payment deadline for the Church Group Trip is Sunday, August 12th. Attending the 90 minute class offered on Thursdays is free of course, and no advanced sign-up is necessary. Contact Pastor Eric at pastorallert@clchr.org to learn more.

JOIN US FOR SOME WIND AND SPIRIT In July, our group enjoyed a beautiful 115-mile journey together up to Evergreen, over to Echo Lake, down to Idaho Springs for lunch, down through the canyons just west of I-70 & C-470, before coming back home. This unique monthly fellowship and bible study opportunity is for all motorcycle or any “open air” vehicle owners like convertibles, targa-tops, Jeeps, etc. Each event begins at 10:00am in the church parking lot with introductions, devotion and prayer. These planned scenic group trips are enjoyable cruises together through some of God’s beautiful creation around the local areas of the range until stopping for lunch together. Costs are your fuel and your food, and friends are certainly welcome to join in. However, to make necessary arrangements, please sign up with Pastor Eric at pastorallert@clchr.org to find out more about our next excursion of holy fun together!

PROGRESS EXCITING CHANGES IN THE WORKS

Next month, Pastor Eric will be creating a new regularly running article in the church’s newsletter entitled “Focusing on the Vision”. Each month, members of the Executive Team (most often Pastor Eric) will provide an article that communicates updates from the Executive Committee that serve as spiritual mile markers for how the congregation is moving with God at the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This additional increase of communications from Leadership to the entire congregation will start in September, beginning with the agenda for the Annual Council Visioning Summit scheduled for September 28th & 29th.

Hello and Happy August from the Preschool Summer camp has been amazing and has been so much fun together! We had around 45 kids a day attending camp for 11 weeks!

We are getting ready for the fall and look forward to our returning families and our new ones. There will be three new teachers joining us this year. They will bring new ideas and teaching expertise to our team. What a blessed preschool we have and thank you for your prayers.

Being a ministry of CLC is wonderful and we are excited about our continued journey of bringing the message of Christ to our little ones.

Many blessings, Deb and Blair

One of North America’s most experienced and dedicated stewards of stewardship in the church, Theodore S. Horvath, wrote in his book entitled Identity as Stewards, “For too long we have emphasized the doing, with superficial, short-term results. We need to reverse our strategy and put the emphasis on being, for more authentic, long-term effects.” It has always been my pastoral understanding that for us as disciples, stewardship does not describe any one dimension of the Christian life, but rather it describes comprehensively what it truly means to be Christian. As disciples, we first recognize our relationship with God in which the Father is the one who invites us to be co-creators and co-stewards with Him. We are then called to participate in the stewardship of the sibling and neighbor through our relationships with one another. Finally, it is our additional responsibility to steward the earth as our common home cherished gift from God. Whenever we fall into the temptation of looking at our relationship with God (and one another) as being a relationship based on doing, we set ourselves up for brokenness and pain. The Lord created us to be in a loving relationship with Him and one another because of who God is, and who God has created us to be. Our efforts of doing are birthed from the be-ing that is formative for each relationship.

Our very identity as children of God is one of stewards, not because God needed us to do more, but rather because the purpose of our relationships is one that relies upon the care for all.

God loves because at the very heart of God is the purist love. God cares because God’s own being in one drenched in caring compassion. God guides, leads, and teaches because God’s own holy wisdom is one that blesses growth and further creation. We co-serve and co-steward with God because at our very being is the formative nature of relationship. The stronger our relationship is with God and one another, the more our very being will seek out opportunities to do the stewarding work that further blesses.

May you know today – and always – the blessings of God. These blessings are yours because of who God is, and who you are to God. May you also know today – and always – the blessings being in faith community. These blessings are also yours because of God’s gift that is the church, and who you are to this church.

On Sunday evening, July 15th, Pastor Eric and family held a dessert and drinks party at their home welcoming new members who have joined CLC the previous year. This fun tradition that Pastor Eric and Jenny love to celebrate was just another (holy) fun way of further uniting the congregation for mission and sharing in God’s love for one another. For more than 3 hours, their home was filled with contagious laughter, personal stories, and the joy of the Holy Spirit! It’s a great time to be a part of God’s church here at Christ Lutheran!

Welcome...

Welcome to Carmen Abraham who has joined the communion bread-baking team, the children’s activity bag team, and the attendance recording team. We certainly appreciate Carmen’s assistance with all those ministries!

Welcome back to Jim Peterson who is feeling well enough to again join the team that changes the marquee out front. Thanks to Jim for volunteering, and thanks to God for helping Jim to regain his health!

Welcome to Monica, Annabelle, and Addison Martin who have joined the recycling team. Many hands make light work, and we are thankful to have help from these lovely ladies for that ministry.

Welcome to the Bergman family who has agreed to join an 8:00 Worship Team. Thanks for your help and support!

Welcome and MANY thanks to Sue Bristol at Bristol Botanics for supplying our gorgeous altar flower arrangements! They have been spectacular, and we are so grateful to have the support from a business owned and operated by a member of the CLC family.

Thanks to the group of wonderful women who have stepped in to keep Soul Sisters going. This vital group can continue our fun and fellowship due to these fabulous females, and we are thankful for their sponsorship and organizing efforts.

Ministry Spotlight This month I’m shining a light on the folks who serve on Altar Guild. This group of people care for the altar and prepare it for worship, they set the credence table with the elements (bread and wine), and they clean up after service or prepare for the next service. This is a quiet, behind-the-scenes ministry that performs a critical act of service for the church. Thanks to the many hands that serve this vital ministry.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

- Psalm 118:24 Recently a member of our congregation remarked on the tag line at the bottom of all my emails: Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

I have often been accused of being a bit of a Pollyanna, but that’s the way I choose to be. Since I have worked at CLC, my glass is not just half-full; it is often overflowing, and I want everyone to know it. There are so many good, positive things going on in and around and through this building and congregation that I’d like to ask you to join me in appreciating all that is good here. The world that we live in can be a bit of a downer sometimes, but if you train your eyes to see the Light and to celebrate the good that you see, joy will follow. Let us rejoice and be glad in this day.

Each of these wonderful people knows that one of the keys to a vital church community is the engagement of the members, and they are doing their part to engage and connect with others.

CLC DAY OF SERVICE AND WORSHIP & PICNIC IN THE PARK Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 22!

In the morning, we will do various service projects in the community and for the greater community. In the afternoon and evening, we will have a picnic and worship in the park. If you have any Day of Service opportunities or would like to help with the picnic planning, please mark your response sheet in the bulletin or see Ally Williams or Karen Patz. More details to follow in the upcoming communications about this exciting day!

Dynamite is our youth group for our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Registration for this program will begin in August.

Our first gathering will be September 9 from 5:00-7:00 in the fellowship hall. If you are interested in helping with this monthly ministry in the fall please contact Gary Knutston at gknutson@clchr.org or Allyson Evans at childrensministry@clchr.org.

Sunday School Rally Day is September 9 and that means the beginning of Sunday School! The registration link will be ready in early August. If your child has never attended Sunday School or it has been a while, I strongly encourage you to sign them up and get them involved! Not only do the kids learn a lot about the Bible and the life of Jesus, they start to develop relationships with their peers and other adults in the congregation. As kids get older, it is harder to get them to participate in activities if they don’t have relationships with others. We are here to help form those relationships so that when it is time for Confirmation and high school youth group, they are ready to go hang out with their friends. Sunday School begins September 9 during the 9:30 service. If you are interested in volunteering as a teacher or for gathering materials for special projects please feel free to contact Allyson at any time for more information. childrensministry@clchr.org Confirmation is for our 7th and 8th grade students. Registration and information nights will be held two different nights, please chose one to attend: August 22 or August 29. Both nights the 7th graders will meet from 6:30-7:00 and the 8th graders will meet from 7:15-7:45. It is important that a parent and middle schooler both attend the meeting to hear all the important information given and to fill out the required forms. If you need more information about our Confirmations program please feel free to contact Gary Knutson at gknutson@clchr.org.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to every one of you that helped make VBS 2018 a huge success! Whether you donated your time or items, volunteered the week of, registered your kids, or prayed for us, we couldn’t have done it without you! We had a great week learning how Jesus carries us through life’s storms. We played games, we heard stories about kids our age that struggle, we heard Bible stories, did fun activities to help us learn the message every day and we had snacks! It was a great week and we are already gearing up for next year’s VBS…ROAR! See you then!

Thank you for all of your support for this year’s high school mission trip to Houston, Texas. We could not have made it to Houston for hurricane relief and the National Youth Gathering without your support! Thank you to everyone that bought our cookies, let us wash their cars, filled our envelopes, attended our meals and prayed for a safe journey! With your help, we were able to assist the members of Saint Paul Lutheran in Baytown, Texas and learn about how LOVE, HOPE, GRACE, and GOD CHANGE EVERYTHING!

FAMILY CAMP AT SKY RANCH Family Camp will be here before you know it! Join us for a fun weekend at Sky Ranch Lutheran Camp, August 10-12. It’s a great weekend of relaxing and being together, enjoying God's creation. Please fill out the response sheet if you are interested in attending family camp this year. The cost is $50 per family, per night. If you have further questions, please contact Gary at gknutson@clchr.org Family camp meeting Wednesday August 8th at 6:30 pm. If you are going to family camp this year please attend this meeting so we can get a count and let everyone know what’s going on and things to bring.

BACK TO SCHOOL BLESSING

The count down for the beginning of the school year has begun! We will be having our Back to School Blessing the weekend of August 4 and 5. If you are a student or a teacher, please join us for this special day! Any age... preschool to graduate school included! Please feel free to bring your backpack or book bag if you would like to do so.

Fruits & Veggies – More Matters

By Jenny Allert, MSN Ed., RNC-OB Did you know September is fruit and vegetable health awareness month? Most people know that eating fruits and vegetables is important for good health, but most of us still aren’t getting enough. This September, Christ Lutheran Church is proud to participate in Fruits & Veggies – More Matters Month.

Eating a healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits can help you: • Lower your risk for heart disease and some types of cancer • Maintain or reach a healthy weight • Keep your body strong and active Here are some ideas to help you and your family fit more fruits and vegetables into your day: • Keep a bowl of fruit handy where the whole family can see it.

• Cut up fruits and veggies ahead of time so they’re ready for quick, healthy snacks.

• Challenge your family to try a new veggie or fruit every week.

Remember, eating more fruits and veggies can be fun – and it’s worth it!

This year, Pastor Eric, Pastor Gail, and the worship leadership team decided to keep the 11:00am service going throughout the summer.

It’s been a delight to hear those attending share their appreciation for “being able to continue worshiping God throughout the year”. Thanks to all the volunteers and staff for remaining committed to this powerful and growing worship service community. If you haven’t worshiped at 11:00am yet, consider trying it sometime this year.

In addition to being a little later in the morning, this worship setting is intentionally designed to be rich musically, prayerful and reflective, and personally inviting.

This class is required for anyone who would like to have their child baptized here at CLC. Contact Gary Knutson at gknutson@clchr.org to sign-up for one of these class dates.

This month there are an overwhelming amount of people putting their faith into action! To start, we got to celebrate two people becoming one! During the Strittmater Wedding! You might see Elton and Yeta learning about the gospel at the 9:30 service. CLC got the privilege to put on their wedding and see that love has no time limit! Congrats to the wonderful couple and cheers to you Elton and Yeta!

SOFIA

(Stories Of Faith In Action)

Another major SOFIA is the youth Mission trip! There were so many wonderful works that came out of driving to Houston! We even managed to make the most of it while the bus was being fixed! Mission trips give the youth an opportunity to step out of their comfort zones to talk to new people, learn new lessons, and master how to use a power drill! A lot of the youth came back with a new appreciation for Highlands Ranch, and our community at CLC. Thank you to everybody that helped the youth to experience this! I know how much it means to them!

A huge shout out to Bev Brady and Barb Hoemann. They have put countless hours into organizing the music files. Let me just tell you we have a ton of music here at CLC! These lovely ladies catalogued all of the music. It is wonderful and very easy to use! Thank you for putting in your time to help our new music person feel right at home!

Ally Williams We are trying out an introduction of a new prayer ministry here at Christ Lutheran.

On Sunday mornings, before and after 9:30am worship, keep an eye out for members of the congregation wearing easily identifiable pink Prayer Partner name tags. These brothers and sisters in Christ have volunteered to sit in prayer with anyone looking to be led in brief 1-on-1 quiet prayer on Sunday mornings. If you’d like to learn more about joining this ministry and becoming a volunteer Prayer Partner, contact Pastor Eric J. Allert in the church office, or directly at pastorallert@clchr.org.
