NO LADIES BIBLE STUDY – There will be no Tuesday morning Bible Study on Tuesday, March 31st. We will resume our regular schedule the following week.
BABY ‘SPRINKLE’ – One of our Preschool and STEAM Lab Assistant Teachers, Mrs. Amy Harrell, is expecting a baby boy at the beginning of June. We are very excited for her and her husband, as well as soon-to-be-big-brother Nathan, and plan to throw a small baby shower – a sprinkle! – on April 22nd. If anyone is interested in contributing to a group gift, we are collecting money that will be used for a ‘sit & stand’ stroller so both baby and big brother can be on the move! Clearly marked donations can be left in the church or school office.
MISSION CREEK SPRING CRAFT FAIR – Saturday, April 18, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm – FREE entry to the craft fair featuring over 40 vendors. Mission Creek is located just around the corner from CTL. They are also SEEKING VOLUNTEERS who can walk around with their residents while they shop the craft fair. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Beth Castleman at bcastleman@missioncreekseniorliving.com.
ATTENTION CTL LADIES – The Altar Guild is currently looking for two or three women who would be interesting in helping with communion setup. This quiet but important role includes preparing communion prior to service and then properly cleaning up after. Duties are shared on a rotating schedule, so the time commitment is manageable. Training would be provided. If you’re interested in serving in this way, or would like more information, please talk with Jeraldine after service or give her a call.
THANK YOU – As winter (hopefully!) comes to a close, we want to extend a huge, “Thank you,” to the group of people who generously gave their time to salt our parking lot and walkways this winter. Your willingness to come out in the cold, in the early morning hours, made it safer for our church and school families as well as staff to come and go, especially on the more difficult days. We appreciate your willingness to step in and help when it was needed!
LWML ZONE 3 SPRING RALLY – Saturday, April 25 – 9:00 am at Blessed Savior Lutheran Church in New Berlin – Bennett Reisler, Mission Advocate will be the speaker and there will be an ingathering of specific infant and toddler items for A Place of Refuge. See the bulletin board for details and to sign up.
CTL CHURCH DIRECTORY PHOTOS – A photo directory helps our church community learn names, recognize faces, and stay connected. Unfortunately, our directory is missing photos for quite a few of our families and many of the photos that we do have are quite a few years old! Over the next few weeks, we’d like to get our church directory pictures updated. Julie Bushre is going to be photographing families after church for the next few weeks (and during Palm Sunday brunch) so please look for her… and don’t be surprised if she comes looking for you! If you have a recent family photo you’d like to submit to be used in the directory instead of taking a new one, please send that to office@christthelife.com. Additionally, the most current contact information we have for your family is posted on the bulletin board just outside the church office. Please take a moment to review this and mark any changes. Thank you for your help getting our church directory current!
