Welcome Our New Pastor, Donn Woolweber!

  

On February 22, members of Christ Lutheran gathered to call our next pastor to serve our congregation. Since Pastor Nuss retired, Christ Lutheran was blessed to have Pastor Ray Rogers as our interim pastor through December 2025. Pastor Kevin Wackett became our interim pastor in January 2026. At our Divine Call Service, led by our Congregational President Dave Rose, Pastor Donn Woolweber received our congregational call. Pastor Woolweber and his wife, Debbie, joined us  March 15th.  Welcome to Christ Lutheran Church Pastor Donn and Debbie.

This Week's Church Calendar

Sunday,  June 7th

Second Sunday After Pentecost


Readings

   Hosea 5:15–6:6

Psalm 119:65-72

Romans 4:13–25

Matthew 9:9–13

Jesus Calls Sinners to Repentance and Newness of Life in Accordance with His Mercy

In calling Matthew the tax collector to follow Him, Jesus demonstrates that He has come “not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Matt. 9:9, 13). As a good physician, He comes not to confirm them in their sins, but to heal them with His grace, calling them to repentance, faith and newness of life (Matt. 9:12). He puts them to death by the preaching of His Law, in order to raise them with His Gospel, to live before Him in the righteousness of His resurrection (Hos. 6:1–2, 5). It is in this way that God “gives life to the dead,” that is, through faith in Jesus, “who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification” (Rom. 4:17, 24–25). Thus, sinners from all nations are called to share the same faith as Abraham, the father of all who trust in Jesus (Rom. 4:16–18). And as our Lord in mercy thus welcomes us poor sinners to recline at the table in His house, so does He “desire steadfast love and not sacrifice” (Matt. 9:10, 13; Hos. 6:6), that we should have mercy on our neighbors and forgive their sins against us for Jesus’ sake.

      YOU ARE WELCOME TO THE TABLE 

      Ruth 1:1–19a

      2 Timothy 2:1–13

      Luke 17:11–19

      Faith Returns Thanks to God and Worships Him in the Person of Christ Jesus

      Jesus comes in mercy and, by His Word, heals you in body and soul. “Go and show yourselves to the priests,” for you are cleansed (Luke 17:14), and you are granted access to the Lord’s temple. It is “at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks” (Luke 17:16), that you worship God, for Christ Jesus is your great High Priest; His body is the true temple. In Him, you “find rest, each of you in the house of her husband” (Ruth 1:9), for the Lord has “visited his people and given them food” (Ruth 1:6). The person of Jesus Christ lodges Himself in holy food — bread and wine for believers to eat and drink. You lodge where Jesus lodges; His Father is your God, His people are your people. Death cannot part you from Him because His death and resurrection are eternally yours through Holy Baptism. “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead” (2 Tim. 2:8). As surely as death could not hold Him, so surely “the word of God is not bound” (2 Tim. 2:9). His Gospel is entrusted “to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:2), so that you “may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:10). Such is the confession of faith for all the saints, who believe, teach and confess the one Lord and Savior — Jesus Christ, 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: 

      • I  am a sinner in thought, word and deed by my own grievous fault. I pray God  Almighty to have mercy on me, forgive me all my sins, and bring me to  everlasting life.
      • Only  through the gift of the Holy Spirit am I able to confess that the person and work of Jesus Christ has saved me from sin, death and the Devil .  Whether my faith in Jesus feels weak or  strong today, I need Jesus and the gifts He offers me in His Supper.
      • I have been baptized in the Name of the Triune God: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Through this baptism, I have new life in      Christ Jesus.
      • I confess my belief that the risen Savior Jesus Christ is present in, with,      and under the Sacrament, and that with the bread and wine, I receive the      very Body and Blood of Christ Jesus my Lord.


      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.
