why would I Visit Christ Lutheran Church?

Need help navigating the Crossroads?

  

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! 

Pastor ray rogers welcomes you, your family and friends!

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.

Communion Statement of Christ Lutheran Church

 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: 

  • 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.
