JUNE HAPPENINGS

WEDNESDAY EVENING WORSHP

Beginning Wednesday, June 3, we offer a worship experience at 6:30 p.m. in the Upper Room of the Arden Mead Center for Youth and Family, 17 Selma Avenue. The service will follow the liturgical order of Word and Sacrament, but will be conversational in style. Worshippers will sit in comfortable chairs around tables. Children will be free to move about and refreshments will be available. Music will be semi-contemporary in the mode of the With One Voice hymnal. We are adapting the "Caring Community: Make a Difference" format for this mid-week worship.

SUNDAY SUMMER WORSHIP HOURS

Beginning Sunday, June 7, we begin our Summer Worship schedule with one service at 9:30 a.m. On the 7th we will utilize the Chicago Folk Service with Pastor Mark Roock as Presider and Preacher. On June 21 join us for Worship Under the Oaks as we conduct our Father's Day service in the shady spot of the Church Yard. In case of inclement weather we'll move inside. June 28rh we'll remember in prayer the Adult Mission Trip delegation from Emmanuel Episcopal and Christ Lutheran who will be in Mission, S.D.

FISHING DERBY DATES SET: JULY 10-12, 2009

Calling all CLC members - get your fishing poles ready, practice casting (we'll get the bait on our way there) and pack your coolers with lots of snacks - the 2009 Fishing Derby is set for the weekend of July 10-12 at O'Brien Farms! Each year the congregation of Christ Lutheran is invited out to the country home of Bob and Joan O'Brien for fishing, games, floating on the river, swimming in the lake (no 'cement pond' here) & just plain fun - and of course lots of delicious food!

The Youth retreat will begin Friday afternoon (Craig will give you the schedule.) Everyone is invited to spend the weekend, one night or just a day. Get your sleeping reservations in early as space is limited. There is also space for camping outside. Don't miss the absolutely, fantastic, utterly delicious fish fry Saturday evening! SAVE THIS DATE for fun, food & frolic!

Christ Lutheran rejoices in a rich worship life and opportunities for Christian Education at all age levels.

We have many outreach programs that serve both our congregation and the community-at-large. Christ Lutheran is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

We invite you to come by and join us on Sunday for our worship services or give us a call at 314-962-6011 if you would like more information. Welcome!
