This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4: 10-11. NIV

The Blood Mobile will be at Christ Lutheran Church on Sunday, July 13th from 8:30 to 12:30. Due to the great need for blood during the summer months, the blood center is running a promotion. Any donor who attempts to donate at one of their mobile drives during the months of June, July and August will be eligible to win one of two $500 gift cards from Southwest Airlines. This will be in addition to earning points in their Hands of the Donor program. You may sign up on line at www.lonestardonor.com and use the sponsor code SoCo.
Use of Pew Envelopes: If you use an envelope from the back of the pew for your offering, please be sure to print your name on the envelope so that it can be properly recorded.
FOOD DRIVE: Please notice our food barrel in the narthex. Each week as you prepare to come feed upon the bounty of God’s word remember that there are many struggling to put food on their tables. As you are able and blessed by God, please bring along to worship a non-perishable food item and place it into the barrel. This food is given to one of the food banks for distribution. Through this simple regular practice we can do much to help those in their time of need. “For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat ...” Jesus.
