JULY HIGHLIGHTS

Saturday Evening worship continues at 5:00 p.m. at the Arden Mead Center. A simple service with Holy Communion and featuring music with Cornelius Davis from Immanuel Lutheran, our African-American gospel keyboard artist. There will be no Saturday evening worship on July 31 due to the "Christ In the Country" day at the O'Briens'.

Sunday Morning worship in July continues at 9:30 a.m. and featuring Setting 5 of With One Voice.

A new Bible study begins June 27th and will meet every other Sunday through August (July 11 and 25, August 8 and 22) to study portions of Scripture in a relaxed discussion format. A background in Bible study is not needed and no homework is required. Each lesson stands alone so you are encouraged to attend when you are able. The study meets in the Conference Room (first floor, north end of the building).

Farewell for Craig Swendsen planned for July 25th. Sharon Hornbeck and Lisa Willey are organizing a farewell for Dirctor of Youth and Family Ministries Craig Swendsen to be held after the 9:30 a.m. worship on July 25th. Craig will be ending his employment with Christ at the end of July.

"Christ in the Country" July 31-August 1

A long-standing tradition at Christ Lutheran of trekking out to the country for a week-end in the summer continues as "Christ in the Country" takes place on Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1. Young and old, new members to long-timers are urged to attend one or both days of fun at the beautiful country home of Bob & Joan O'Brien about one hour outside of St. Louis. Saturday has a potluck lunch, the children's "Fishing Derby," swimming, floating and other outdoor activities, along with indoor games, cards, visiting, even a nap or two. Indoor bed space for staying overnight is limited so signup NOW. There is outdoor space for tents and campers - check with Joan.

The highlight of Saturday is the fish fry supper around 5:30 p.m. Members are asked to bring salads, side dishes and desserts to share for this wonderful meal. Sunday morning worship at 11:00 a.m. on the patio is refreshing. Come one - come all (invite your friends). The signup sheet is in the Fellowship Hall. The event is child, baby and senior adult-friendly! Carpooling is always available.
