Scripture Readings for Sunday April 13: Acts 2:42-47; Psalms 23; 1 Peter 2:19-25; John 10:1-10.

Today we welcome Michael Rueth as guest organist while Dr. Steven Gray is on vacation.

Adult forum today continues to study peacemaking. Today we will look at what peace in the world meant to the early church, when death was first a real consequence for following the teachings of Jesus. We will try to answer the questions of what it means to live, love and forgive as Jesus did. Join us in room 2 after a cup of coffee.

Don’t forget: donations to the donut basket help fund our youth ministry.

Lutheran Social Services has a wheel chair lift van that is available to us to use on Sunday Mornings. We would like to assemble a team to pick up members of our church who have no other means to get here. No special licence is required to drive the van, but familiarity with a large vehicle is a good thing. We would like to have a two person team for pick ups with both a driver and helper. If you are interested in this new ministry please speak to one of our pastors.

The Chili cook-off for Lutheran Campus Ministry is almost here. Please help us to support Campus ministry (we will be hosting a campus ministry Sunday on May 18) and to increase our donation over past years. The chili pot in on the table in the entry way if you can not make it to Christ Lutheran on April 20th at 4:00. Pastor Mike will be our chef this year. Remember, if you donate now you won’t have to "pay" later!

Vacation Bible School 2008. Vacation Bible School at Clairemont Lutheran Church will gather from August 4 - August 8. Under the theme "Rainforest Adventure," participants will learn of God's love as well as develop a love of creation. Our "green" VBS will also encourage kids to love and serve one another, and we will even donate a portion of our registration fees to protecting rainforests in Peru. Early registration will begin in April and end on July 1. The cost this year for early registration is $20.00 for the first child and $15.00 for each additional child in the same family. We are also encouraging bringing friends along, their registration (for non-members) will be only $10 for the entire week! We are seeking volunteers to help in various capacities throughout the week. Please contact Mary Hoogterp or Pastor Mike in the church office if you would like to help out. The VBS planning team is also looking for more members, we will meet once again on Sunday April 20 at 2:00 p.m.
