Lord, help me hold in my heart and mind that we represent you to the world.  May we not bring shame or scorn upon your name, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.
  
Thank you for viewing this worship service of Christ Lutheran church.  Our thanks to Heather Geyer and family for providing music.
 
The congregation of Christ meets at 11 a.m. at the Peony Ave sanctuary.  Today they will be celebrating Holy Communion for the first time since the Covid-19 epidemic began.
 
Today is fourth Sunday after the Pentecost.  As we grow as Christians, we start with the basics of the Christian faith.  The Gospel reveals that we represent God.  This Christian living is not a private matter.
 
Pray for Pat Blistan, Ethel Moschak, Natalie Gardner, Dorothy Tokarski, Eugene Borio, Darlene Hoffman, Sara Margo, Judi Strini, Barb Cotton, Alice Skirda, Carol Deily, Kristen Hughes, Marti Krause, Lois Thomas and Marjorie Hager.  Happy news is that Jennifer and Ian Hardisky are expecting.
 
We are in need of bookkeeping help.  Council has approved a paid position.  If interested, see Kim, Carol, Sherrie, Jeff, Heather or Pastor.
 
If you are in need of pastoral support, please feel free to call pastor at his home number listed above.
 
Celebrating birthdays this week are Darlene Hoffman, tomorrow and Marjorie Hager on Tuesday.
