cathedral of creation. Hills, wildflowers, trees, birds,

butterflies, blue skies and clouds form the compelling

worship space for this new ministry. They have been

given a trailer to store equipment and supplies and have

built benches and tables but they urgently need a 40' x

40' tent along with other related items for their

exciting mission endeavor.

Ten Christ Lutheran youth and adult leaders will leave

for Jacksonville, Florida on July 19 and return on July

27. Their time will be spent in service and fellowship

with various nonprofit organizations that work with

children, the elderly as well as provide healthcare for

everyone. The team is spending the next few months

building up their trust in each other, their knowledge of

the community, and strengthening their faith. They

appreciate the support of this special offering and ask

for your prayers as well.

New Classes in Adult Faith Formation!

Animate: FaithFaith Together is a group that meets in The Commons during theSunday School hour. This is a "drop in" class, which means you comewhen you can, no prep needed, and ALL are welcome. It is a discussionbased class with the intent of exploring faith issues and supporting oneanother as we discover ways to share faith with our children and othersin our lives. We will be using Animate Faith to guide our discussions. Animate is

video based and offers a creative and unique way of looking at differentfaith topics. Not your typical study! Come join us while your kids are inSunday School!

Stephen Ministry

"Serving God by Bringing Christ's Healing Love

to Hurting People"

An important theme of the Lenten season is the humanity

of Christ. In Jesus, God became human and fully

experienced the wide range of emotions we all encounter

in life. Jesus experienced times of loneliness, sadness,

hurt, anger, disappointment, grief, and abandonment.

That is part of being human. Another part of being

human is needing help from each other. God never

intended us to be completely self-sufficient. Part of

God's plan is for each of us to turn to others for help

when we need it.

So when you are experiencing difficult times, don't

struggle alone. Our Stephen Ministers will walk with

you, listen to you, encourage you, pray with you, and

grace as the people of Godwhere the presence of Christis in, with, and under thebread and wine of HolyCommunion. This year theAgape Feast is onThursday, April 17 at6:30pm. There is a sign upsheet in the Narthex on the"Welcome Center".

Easter Lilies

There is a sign up sheet in the

Narthex for Easter Lilies.

They are $8.00 each. (Please

print) Please print your name

for each Easter lily if you

want more than one. Make

checks payable to Christ

Lutheran Church.
