In our last message, we talked about being at a crossroads of life searching for a new direction or maybe guidance to fill a void.
This time we would like to offer you some options on how to faithfully navigate through those crossroads. We will inform you as to what Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church has to offer. We begin by digesting the words in our mission statement below.
Together We Love, we demonstrate Christ’s Love by welcoming everyone young and old alike. I guess you could say we are a welcoming place for those searching for a connection in one way or another. The greatest of these is LOVE!
Serve, as an outreach extending help to those in need! Places like a local food shelf halfway housing for those in transition, Women’s Missionary League, Stephen Ministries, to mention a few.
Encourage, offering a meaningful Christian environment for individuals with cognitive disabilities, which we lovingly call Bible School for Special People (BSSP). This has been a 60 + year successful program.
Grow in the Family of Christ Here and Throughout the World, which we have been doing for the last 70 years.
Our prayer is to continue to do all the above and more. Our contact information is below. This is your invitation to visit us and join us in this mission. This could be your first steppingstone for some answers to your crossroads journey! God Bless!
This Week's Church Calendar
Sunday, August 31st, The Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost
The Appointed Readings (NIV) for this Sunday
Proverbs 25:2–10
Psalm 131
Hebrews 13:1–17
Luke 14:1–14
We Are Humbled and Exalted by the Cross of Christ
“Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,” Jesus proclaims, but “he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11). For your hope is in the name of the Lord, who humbled Himself unto death on the cross and was exalted in His resurrection. So, are you humbled by His cross, and “at the resurrection of the just,” He will say to you, “Friend, move up higher” (Luke 14:10, 13–14)? By His grace, the King will honor you “in the presence of a noble,” where your eyes will gaze upon the Prince, His dearly beloved Son (Prov. 25:7). As He has dealt so graciously with you, “do not neglect to do good and to share what you have” (Heb. 13:16), and “do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers” (Heb. 13:2). Humble yourself and exalt your neighbor.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO THE TABLE OF THE LORD! Jesus is both the host and the food for the meal that we share. It is Jesus’ saving death that we proclaim whenever we dine together at the Lord’s Table, and this is what we believe:
With this congregation, I believe and confess:
If for any reason you cannot consume wine, white grape juice is available in the center ring of the individual cups. If coming to the altar rail is difficult for you, pastor and one of the communion assistants would be happy to bring you communion in the pews.

Our church offers a meaningful Christian atmosphere for people with special challenges. The program has been running continuously for over 50 years. We offer weekly Bible school on Saturdays from 10 am to noon during the school year. Each week the program includes time for devotion, sharing through prayer , Bible stories, singing, activities, and a light snack. We also have a week long VBS for the class during the Summer.
Our church has a very active LWML group that meets monthly. Beforw COVID, each Spring, the group has their major fundraiser making thousands of chocolate covered eggs for Easter. While this is an LWML project most of the congregation comes out to help make the eggs. Proceeds from the fundraiser go to support good works locally as well as mission work in other countries. In addition to the local activities some members participate in regional and national LWML activities.

Our goal, with God’s help and guidance is to strive and grow the membership of Christ Lutheran Church! We are the face of the church! By going out into the community and the places we live, we inform folks about our church family. We welcome visitors with open hearts and arms to nurture them on a journey with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! We work closely with the Pastor to introduce new member instruction classes, and visit the shut ins and homebound. We maintain a fresh updated Website, Facebook page, and a digital sign at the front of our church. If you are looking for a new home church or a new spiritual walk, this just may be the place for you. We will welcome you! God Bless!
