*NEW – BIBLIOPHILOS with Pastor Kris – Fridays, May 23^rd, June 13^th and June 27^th at 9am at the Bowling Alley – What is bibliophilos? For us, it is a time to gather in God’s presence for learning and friendship.  In Greek, Biblio is a word-forming element meaning book, or sometimes Bible. Philos is an adjective for beloved, is related to the Greek verb “phileó”, and is used to express a type of love characterized by friendship, thus bibliophilos! On these mornings we will “practice resurrection”, opening space for hope and new life in our faith journey. On the first Friday, May 23^rd, I will lead a devotion. As we meet, we will discern how to use this time. Come as you are able! Stay as you can!  Are you new to Christ Lutheran ministries? Come and see! There is a place for you here. Reach out if you have questions.

*A Choir will be singing again on June 15^th, Father’s Day, so please consider joining us…all ages are welcome!!! Rehearsals begin May 18 at 8:15 and will continue weekly through June 15th.

*Outdoor Worship with Blessing of the Bikes – Sunday, June 8^th at 9 am – Following worship there will be ice cream for all. Then we will bike ride to Old Barn to swim.  Kids are to bring their own sack lunch and water bottle.  Lunches and gear will be transported by Pastor Kris in her vehicle.  We will bike back to church by 3 pm. Register online, preferably by Friday, June 6. In case of rain alternate indoor activities will be offered.
