A NOTE FROM THE OFFICE
The office is open from 8-12 for you to come and talk
with Hannah.
The church office works best when it can help facilitate communication between the various groups and organization of the church. It is advisable to check with the church office before adding any activity to the church calendar.
Any changes to the Sunday schedule of serving should be confirmed with the office.
Have you looked at our web site to see what it needs?
New things have been included. www.lightoftheCrossLutheran.org
NEVER FORGET
Nothing is more powerful than prayer,
nothing is stronger than faith,
and nothing is greater than GOD!

Coffee servers are listed per month. Check to see if your name is going to be on next month or this month. This list indicates you will be bringing the treats for Sunday after service. You are also responsible for making the big pots of coffee. It is suggested to start the coffee pots before the service starts. They take about 45 minutes to brew. The rest of the getting ready can be done before the service starts. Get out paper plates, napkins, forks (if necessary). If your treat would dry out, cover with napkins, foil, etc. Don’t forget to clean up. Wash tables, run dishwasher, put extra napkins, plates, silverware, etc. away. Empty coffee makers.
I am a Christian
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting “I am saved’
I’m whispering “I was lost”
That’s why I chose this way.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak of this with pride.
I’m confessing that I stumble
and need Someone to be my guide.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success,
I’m admitting I have failed
and cannot even pay the debt.
When I say…”I am a Christian’
I’m not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible but,
God believes I’m worth it.
When I say…”I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I speak His name.
