Session 7 – Encountering God - Moses
These days we might tend to forget the mysterious nature and strength of fire. Few of us have to stoke a fire to heat our homes. Even fewer among us rely on blazing flames to cook our food. Instead, we adjust the thermostat and sit closer to the heater. To people of biblical days, fire was a much more wild and unpredict- able element. It was something to be feared. In his encounter with the burning bush, Moses was given a sense for the raw power and fearful majesty of God. He also experienced God’s insistent desire to be in relationship with us, and his unorthodox way of choosing leaders who were reluctant.
EUCHRE FUN GAMES are April 11th & 25th at 3 pm. Mark your calendar and bring your family and friends for fellowship and fun. Save the following dates: May 9th & 30th.

church office and are due May 1st. Any active member of Christ Lutheran who will be attending an accredited program beyond high school is eligible to apply. Applicants are scored and awarded a financial amount based on the following criteria: church involvement/Christian activities, academics, extracurricular activities and a written essay.
VBS will be June 22-25 hosted at Christ Lutheran. Faith Commu- nity Church and St. Elizabeth’s will both be joining us this year. The theme is Emerald Crossing (23rd Psalm). We are in need of volunteers. If you are interested, please let Kelly know 989.239.6912. A supplies needed list will be posted in next month’s newsletter.
ATTENTION VBS VOLUNTEERS: In order to keep our partnership for Vacation Bible School with St. Elizabeth's, they are requiring our adult leaders to have Virtus training. It is a 2 hour program and is an extremely helpful and important training. Once you go to the training, you will be certified for 5 years. The list of upcoming training courses that are close to us is posted on the bulletin board. The one in April will be in Frankenmuth. If you need more information, please feel free to contact Kelly Walz at 989.239.6912.
UCCS collection for April & May: Mac & cheese, canned pasta, chunky soup, cereal, pasta sauce & boxed pasta.​
GOOD SAMARITAN RESCUE MISSION OPERATION HOPE AND CARE UPDATE: We were able to donate 25 tote bags to the Rescue Mission. They have posted their monthly needs list for April: shampoo for men, body wash, 3-in-1 body wash/ shampoo/conditioner, diapers size 5 - 7, pull-ups size 2T - 5T, tampons (heavy & super). Pantry needs are coffee, drink mixes/tea, chicken & beef broth, salad dressing, canned fruit. Youth shelter needs are lotion and body spray for girls.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: We are looking for people (men and women) to join our funeral dinner teams. Right now, we have 3 funeral dinner teams that work on a rotation basis. We would like to add more people to the teams or you can be a floater/sub. If this is something you would be interested in volunteering for, call the church office.
We are also looking for people to join the prayer chain. Our Prayer Chain is made up of a group of ladies who have volunteered to pray for others whenever the needs are known. A request for prayers may be made by anyone for anyone by calling the office. Also, if you would like to be a member of the prayer chain (we would welcome men, too), we would welcome adding your name to the list. Please contact the church office.

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.

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.”
