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.
*Register online for the 2024-2025 Sunday School program! at www.christlutheranpreston.org
*Adult/Teen Volunteers needed! If you’re interested in helping with Sunday School this year, please let us know. We can definitely use more helping hands – no amount of help is too small!
*Summer Meet Up – TONIGHT – Thursday, August 22, at Trout City Brewing at 6:30 p.m. Let’s meet for conversation and fellowship, savoring summer with old friends and meeting new friends! If you have read An Altar in the World, add your insight about recognizing God’s presence in the world. You may order on your own if you’d like.
*Women’s Fellowship – The next Women’s Fellowship group meeting will be on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 at 6:30 pm in the Conference Room. This month’s topic will be sex trafficking. Understanding how sex trafficking works can help families and communities to recognize vulnerable people before they become victims and provide survivors with the support they need to move on with their lives. Consider joining us as we learn about this important topic. All are welcome!
*The 4th Annual Christ Lutheran Church Craft and Bake Sale and Gnome Cafe will be Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9am-2pm. Please pick up a fact sheet in the narthex to see the update on baked good pricing, event details, raffle details and more. We will need the congregation’s help to bake, create, and volunteer for the event set up and day of the event.
*Thank you to Sandy Milne for being the Meals on Wheels coordinator for Christ Lutheran for 15 years! We are looking for someone else to step forward and fill that role. Please contact the church office if interested.
