CHURCH NEWS AND EVENTS
Let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Lent Services –We have extra opportunities to worship and contemplate the love and sacrifice of our Savior. We're calling this series, "The Hands of the Passion". Services are held on Wednesdays at noon at our South Campus, 3:30 pm and 6:30 pm at our North Campus. The 3:30 pm service will be live streamed. To view the livestream, please go to our website, ChristAloneWELS.org Adult Choir: Spring Season - "Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things." (Psalm 98:1) Following this joyful directive, all confirmed members are invited to join the Adult Choir for the Lent/Easter season on Wednesdays concluding March 10th. Rehearsal time is 7:15 PM at the North Campus at the front of the church to allow for social distancing. The focus will be on anthems to be recorded for use in an Easter Season concert, similar to this past Christmas Concert. Come join us for song and always good fellowship!
MARCH 7, 2021 LENT 3
Discovery Class - A new Discovery class is open to newcomers, seekers, and present members of our congregation. The class is held, Tuesdays at 6:30 pm. online only. In twelve lessons it will introduce students to the core tenets of our beliefs as Christians and confessional Lutherans. We'll explore the chief parts of the Lutheran Catechism: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the two Sacraments, and the Ministry of the Keys. All will receive an accompanying study guide. Those who so desire will be prepared to join our congregation as communing members.

Spring Training – With the Brewers back at camp we also are preparing for this summer’s softball season. We are looking for interested players 18 and older. Games are played Wednesday evenings at Thiensville Park on Gehrke Field. Contact Pastor Scheuerlein if you are interested. We are also looking for sponsors again for our team. The fees for the year are $500 for the team. We are thankful for those who have supported us in the past and hope for continued support this coming season.
New Bible Class Begins March 7 - Mysterious, visionary, and ultimately moving, the last book of the Bible gives Christians hope that the Lord of the church will rule and guide her to the end of time. After exploring in autumn 2019 the first half of Jesus’ apocalypse, we will dig into the remaining chapters of the book of Revelation this spring. Giving Opportunity - Ladies Aid is collecting for Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ-Kenya (LCMC-Kenya) until May 2021. Our goal is to encourage our newest sister church, to help them add mission pastors: LCMC-Kenya would like to be able to pay two new mission pastors at a cost of $1,600 per pastor per year. Anyone interested in supporting this, please use your blue envelope and mark it to go to LCMC-Kenya.
Prayer Net - A church group at Christ Alone, called Prayer Net, has been devoting itself to praying for our church, its people and its concerns. Prayer requests can be made by sending an email to [email protected] or by filling out a prayer card at church. All requests are
Using your blue Christ Alone Supported Schools and Agencies envelope. (Also available with online giving.)
Central African Medical Mission
With God’s help, hundreds of thousands of patients in Zambia and Malawi have been touched by the work of the Central Africa Medical Mission (CAMM). CAMM is a non-budgeted mission of WELS. Financial support is received from women’s groups, schools, church groups, and other friends of the medical mission. Mission Statement The Central Africa Medical Mission serves as the supportive branch to the gospel mission by communicating Christ’s love and by caring concern for the physical needs of our fellow man. Praying for Medical Mission Please pray for the volunteers and national staff, that they continue to be a light of Jesus to many people, and for the people coming to them with pain, disease, sorrow, and loneliness. Let this work bring the blessings of new friendships, lessons in perseverance and character, and a strengthened faith in the one who sustains, cares for, and loves each of us the same.
