This Week's Church Calendar


The Fifth Sunday of Easter  (May 18)

The Readings Appointed for This Day (NIV)

 Acts 11:1–18

Revelation 21:1–7

John 16:12–22 or John 13:31–35


Jesus Turns Sorrow into Joy

On earth “you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy” (John 16:20). Already the Spirit grants you peace and joy through the forgiveness of your sins. For by the cross of Christ, “God has granted repentance that leads to life” (Acts 11:18). His Gospel is “a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household” (Acts 11:14). He gives freely “from the spring of the water of life” (Rev. 21:6), “and death shall be no more” (Rev. 21:4). He dwells with His people, adorning His Church as a bride for her husband, “making all things new” (Rev. 21:5). Therefore, as the Son of Man is glorified by His cross, “and God is glorified in him” (John 13:31), so He is glorified in us by our “love for one another” (John 13:35), which His Spirit works in us by His grace.


Thursday, May 29th is the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord

 

Christ Ascended Is with You Always

In His resurrection, the Lord Jesus presented Himself alive to the apostles, “appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3). Then He ascended to the right hand of the Father, not orphaning His Church, but filling all things in heaven and on earth, and giving gifts to His disciples. So today, He continues to preach “repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Luke 24:47) through “the apostles whom he had chosen” (Acts 1:2), even “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Jesus comes among us today by His Word and Spirit, whom He pours out upon “the church, which is his body” (Eph. 1:22–23). In His Church, He blesses us with forgiveness, lifts us up in His hands and seats us with Himself “in the heavenly places” (Eph. 1:20).

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.
