*NEW – BIBLIOPHILOS with Pastor Kris – Fridays – 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.  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.

*Care Team meeting – The Care Team will be meeting June 12^th at 1:30 at the church. We are looking for some more people to get involved. If you’re not familiar with the Care Team, we visit homebound, hospitalized and even nursing home members. Please join us at our next meeting.

*REGISTER NOW!! – Outdoor Vacation Bible School – Who is My Neighbor? – Being a neighbor mean seeing each other as images of our living God in our midst. In faith, we are invited to walk with, work with and learn from one another in love, appreciating the gifts our neighbors share with us and we with them. How has God blessed you and your neighbors? How might we be a blessing to others? We look forward to learning together about God’s call to love our neighbor.  VBS is free and all are welcome! As always, it’s a great day to invite a friend!
