Pastoral Visits This Week Mrs. Dody Taylor, Mrs. Karyl Buff, Mrs. Peggy Mantei Attendance Last Sunday: 22 Offering Last Sunday: $1187.00 WELCOME ...to our guests and visitors. We are very glad to have the opportunity to share with you the Gospel of forgiveness through Jesus! Please introduce yourself to the pastor and sign our guest book in the entryway. Won't you join us to worship our Lord Jesus every Sunday morning? If you would like to know more about Ascension Lutheran Church - and our national organization, the Church of the Lutheran Confession - the pastor would be delighted to meet with you in your home. COMMUNION TODAY The greatest conceivable treasure on earth would be the true God in a visible form. We believe that in the Lord's Supper we receive the literal body and blood of the Son of God along with the bread and wine. It's because we hold the sacrament so precious that we ask our guests and visitors, who have not communed with us before, to speak to the pastor first. Thank you! CEF LOANS Looking for a great place to invest your money? The CLC is currently soliciting loans to the CLC Church Extension Fund. This is the fund that loans money to CLC congregations and schools to begin building projects (it's the same fund from which our own church was financed). Right now the CEF is helping to finance the new Immanuel College academic center. Not only can you support the work of our fellowship with your loan, but the CEF currently offers a return of 4.5% APR, which is better than any passbook savings account, and comparable to many certificates of deposit. Your note can be redeemed at any time, without penalty. To make a loan to the CEF, complete a "CEF Promissory Note Information Form" (the forms are in our literature rack) and send it with your check to: CLC CEF Office, Immanuel Lutheran College, 501 Grover Road, Eau Claire, WI 54701-7199. Your promissory note will be mailed to you. HISTORY OF THE CLC Last week in Bible class we finished our study of I Timothy. Later we will go on to II Timothy and the remainder of the New Testament Epistles. For the next six or eight weeks, however, we will present a study of Professor David Lau's new book on the History of the CLC. Have you ever wanted to know more about the history of Lutheranism in the U.S., and particularly how the CLC got started? If so, join us for Bible class after church! CHOIR We are considering starting a church choir. We have many great voices in our congregation. Practices would be brief - after church and before Bible class. Would this interest you? Let the pastor know your wishes. |
