Our Lenten journey continues Wednesdays at 4 pm. Our worship series is titled “The Hills of Lent” which is a Biblical journey to mountaintop experiences which all focus on the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.
March 6th: Mount Zion
March 13th: Mount Olive
March 20th: Mount Calvary
Sundays during Lent and Holy Week we willfocus on “Words that Last Forever”. During the final hours of his life, Christ mapped out his way of suffering with seven famous last words - seven final phrases, remembered and recited throughout the ages. You may find that these last words have a lasting impact, even now. Those words are:
Forgive!
Paradise!
Behold! - March 3rd
Forsaken! - March 10th
Thirst! - March 17th
Finished! - March 24th
For You! - Maundy Thursday - 4 & 7 pm

Session 9 – Shared Blessings: God can use even the smallest things we do to accomplish His purpose – in our lives and in the lives of others.

Christ Lutheran Church Welcomes YOU
On behalf of the entire congregation here at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Reese, Michigan we want to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our website. We are a church that believes in the life changing power of Jesus Christ, and do our best to share His love both at church and in our community, we are privileged to serve.
If you are looking for a “perfect church,” then I encourage you to click away quickly because we’re not that church, yet we are doing our best to become more like our Lord and Savior every single day. Sometimes we fail, but we believe in learning from those failures and moving forward in faith and victory!
We want to encourage you to take a look at the various links on our site and become acquainted with us, and then join us for worship services!
We like to call our website our “Online Visitor’s Packet” because it’s such a great way for prospective guests to see what we’re all about before actually walking through the doors!
Lives are being changed here at Christ Lutheran Church, and it’s to the honor and glory of Jesus Christ! We are all different, and while we have distinctive needs and situations in our lives, we believe He is more than up to the task of meeting those needs!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our online contact information, or give us a call at the church at 989-868-3281 and we will do our best to answer your question(s)!
I want to encourage you to put the Lord first in your life and see what God can do through you! Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
May you have a blessed pilgrimage with Christ serving His creation.
