BIBLE STUDY GROUPS |
|
 |
LIFELIGHT BIBLE STUDY
Come join the Lifelight Bible Class
Sunday mornings as we start a new study on the Gospel of Mark
starting January 31st. The Gospel of Mark emphasizes the deeds
of Jesus as well as the centrality of the word in the ministry
of Jesus and the effect of its authority on men. It is chiefly
by Jesus’ works that He is marked as the Proclaimer and Bringer
of the almighty grace of the kingdom of God, as the anointed
King in whom man can trust, the Son of God in whom man can
believe. The class meets in the east Parish Hall classroom at
9:45. Visitors always welcome. |
PARISH HALL BIBLE STUDY
A Bible study on the Revelation of Jesus Christ as given to St.
John the Apostle (Revelation)
during the Sunday Bible Growth time. Pastor Groeling will teach
this often confusing book with a fresh understanding and
perspective, bringing alive an under-standing of how God’s Grace
works in a troubled time. If you have questions about this
class, please speak to Pastor. The class meets in the main room
of the Parish Hall, starting at 9:45 a.m.
WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Are you feeling
overwhelmed and stressed by life? Come join the Sunday morning
women’s Bible study as we start our new Cynthia Heald study
titled, "Becoming a Woman of Simplicity".
SMALL GROUP BIBLE STUDY
We will be using
"Searching the Scripture"
from past Lutheran Witness publications. If you are interested
in trying out this small group Bible study, now would be the
time to do so. Each session will be a complete topic with no
carryover to the next meeting. Give it a try. We meet every
other Thursday evening from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. at the Koschmann's.
We end with dessert and fellowship from 8:30 - 9:00. Contact Al
Koschmann if you are interested..
MEN’S BIBLE STUDY
We are starting a
new study, "Parables, The Greatest Stories Ever Told".
We meet at 6:00 AM on Tuesday mornings. The coffee is OK and the
fellowship is great. Please join us.

CHURCH PICTORIAL UPDATE |
 |
Pictures and historical write-ups have just been
finished to include in the 50th anniversary pictorial
directory. All those pages and pictures are being sent
to the company this week. It is our hope to receive them
back for proofing and then return proofed sheets for
processing so that we might have the directories in time
for our April anniversary celebration. Let’s pray for
God’s blessing on this project. |
|
50TH ANNIVERSARY GIFT |
 |
In thankfulness to God for His faithfulness and
blessings over the past 50 years the congregation will
be replacing the piano in the front of the church. We
praise God that we have a donor willing to match the
congregation's gifts dollar for dollar up to $10,000.
The estimated cost of the piano is $20,000. If you would
like to donate to the 50th Anniversary Gift, you can
make out a check to Christ Lutheran Church with the word
"Piano" on the memo line and place it in the offering
plate or drop it by the office. Cash offerings can be
placed in the pew envelop and marked "Piano". Please see
the display in the narthex tracking our progress. |
