*Please let the office or a member of the Church Council know if one of your loved ones is sick or has passed or if you or someone you know is going to be in the hospital so that we may acknowledge them in our prayer list or pay them a visit.

*Generous Together Sunday – January 19, 9 am Worship & 10 am – Cross+Generational Sunday School/Fellowship – What gifts to the wisdom of an elder and wonder of a child bring to our faith life? Through the story of feeding the 5000 we will see how each of us share God’s abundance. Following worship, all ages are invited to come downstairs for conversation, activities, and treats. Parents, please accompany your child to this Cross+Generational Sunday School event.

*Annual Meeting of Christ Lutheran Congregation – Sunday, January 26 (following 9 am worship) – All confirmed members are invited to the Annual Meeting. This meeting calls us to make decisions that affect our common life together as the people of God of Christ Lutheran, an intention that grows out of the Reformation idea of the “priesthood of all believers”. We look forward to sharing more specifically how your gifts are being used as well as hearing from you regarding your hopes for the ministries of Christ Lutheran. Reports will be available in paper copy to the congregation on Jan. 19. or view here! Christ_Lutheran_Annual_Report_2024.pdf

*Women’s Fellowship – The next Women’s Fellowship meeting will be held Wednesday, January 22, 2025, 6:30 p.m., at the church. The topic will be “How can we help? Congregational responses to cancer, death, illness, and other serious life challenges.” All are welcome. Please join us!

*CARD MINISTRY – Christ Lutheran Church invites you to share in the joy of our CLC Card Ministry. A basket of envelopes has been placed in the Narthex, each envelope contains 1, 3, or 5 congregation members names and addresses. CLC Card Ministry asks that you send a card or a kind note to each person/family in the envelope (boxed Thinking of You cards are available for purchase in the Narthex). Let us reach out with kindness.
