Come As You Are - We're committed to welcoming people as they are, so please wear clothes that are comfortable for you. Some wear ties and dresses, others wear jeans and sandals. We celebrate your presence with us, so come as you are!
No Pressure to Stand or Sit - Yes, our worship may have indicators to sit and stand throughout. However, please do not feel pressure to take on a posture that is difficult for you.

"Cinco de Mayo" happened to land on a Sunday this year, so we took the opportunity to appreciate the Hispanic culture and added bilingual (Spanish/English) liturgical music at Sunday's service. The service followed the usual format in English, except some of the music was bilingual with lyrics to help us follow along.

Christ Lutheran is presently in a Call Process and in a search for a minister who will help carry us forward in ministry and mission.
In the meantime, every Sunday, we have a wonderful group of passionate and caring pastors from which each of our weekly services is led. You're invited to join us every Sunday! We are confident this week's gospel message will be enriching and fulfilling to you.
Additionally, our congregants are active in leading several important ministries. This "labor of love" has helped to keep our community connected, engaged, and optimistic about the future.

Worship typically includes the following four parts:
Gathering
For any event, we need to come together with a purpose in mind. This includes our confession and God's offer of forgiveness, as well as musical praise of God.
Word
For Christians, the fullness of the Word is Jesus Christ. In worship, we acknowledge Jesus as Word through scripture, prayer, song, preaching, and art.
Sacrament
Rituals help us to engage our faith. Our sacraments, the rituals of the Lord's Supper (or Eucharist) and of Baptism, connect us with God and with one another. Each Sunday service typically includes the Eucharist, and we invite any who are interested in baptism to speak with Pastor Andrew.
Sending
Through the Word and Sacrament, we are reminded of our identity as God's creations who carry the compassionate image of Christ into the world. Through song and commission, we are sent to bring the Gospel to all people.

Our Worship Leaders
We continue to have spiritual leadership on Sundays even though seeking a new permanent pastor. CLC is currently in a 'call process' (process to acquire a pastor).
Our weekly visiting ministers are a figurative "spiritual box of chocolates.” Each week, one of our visiting ministers delivers a beautiful and inspirational message to help cleanse our spiritual palate (self-improvement, awareness, forgiveness), leading us into the new week with spirit-filled (loving, kind) thoughts and actions.
