ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL meets on Sunday mornings at 9:45 am. Our video study is entitled "Whispers". Feel free to join each week for a deeper study of God's word. Continue your time of worship after the first service or start your time of worship before the contemporary service. It’s also a great way to spend your time while you are waiting for your children during their Sunday School hour!
YOUTH BIBLE STUDY for youth in 7th through 12th grades is Sunday evenings from 6 - 8:30 pm at Christ Lutheran Church. Our study is called "Reckless Love". Dinner is provided. Please come and invite your friends to join us for food, games and Bible study.

SEW FOR FAITH group meets on Wednesdays at 9:30 am. Come and join us for fellowship and project ideas - you do not need to sew.
HANDBELL CHOIR will have practices on Wednesdays at 5 pm in the sanctuary. We will take the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
JOY CIRCLE will meet on Thursday, October 9th at 6:30 pm. All women of the church are welcome.
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY - All Women of the Congregation are welcome to come join us on Thursday, October 9th from 7 - 8 pm as we begin a new study, “God's Reluctant Leaders - The Biblical Stories of Jonah, Gideon, and Moses”. Jonah, Gideon and Moses are three examples of people who creatively attempted to escape the call God made to them. Overwhelmed by their own fear, insecurity, and skepticism, they would have turned God down. But God overcame their reluctance, by proving Himself faithful to His Word and by shaping their lives with the Holy Spirit. By making these ordinary people His servants, God eventually formed them into the leaders He had called them to be. It is my prayer that as you read about God’s call in their lives, you may be reminded of God’s call in your life as well.
Session 2 – Prayer and Acceptance - Jonah
Although many of us may recite The Lord’s Prayer several times each week, it is no easy task to sincerely ask God to do His will and not our own. Luther reminds us in his explanation that God’s will is always done, regardless of words we use in prayer. In prayer, however, we become a part of God’s will. In prayer, we are joined to God and directed in order to do God’s work in the world.

SAVE THE DATE for the Harvest Dinner on November 2nd. Dinner is at 12 noon. The menu includes turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, corn, salad and beverages. Bring a dish to pass. A free will offering will be collected. We ask that you please sign up on the bulletin board to bring a dish to pass and also the number that will be attending, so that we have a count for food preparation. If you would like Take-Out, or would like to deliver a meal to someone, there is also a sign-up on the bulletin board, in order that those can be packaged ahead of time.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Saturday November 1, 2025, at 9:00 am we are in need of helping hands for food prep work for the Harvest Dinner. Mary Felske will be coordinating the food and be there to assign tasks to everyone. More hands make it go quicker. Don’t like cooking? Saturday at 10:00 am we are in need of helping hands to set up the Fellowship hall tables, chairs, and place settings. And if you are not available Saturday, then on Sunday, November 2, 2025, we will definitely need help cleaning up.
Christ Lutheran Church Welcomes YOU
On behalf of the entire congregation here at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Reese, Michigan we want to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our website. We are a church that believes in the life changing power of Jesus Christ, and do our best to share His love both at church and in our community, we are privileged to serve.
If you are looking for a “perfect church,” then I encourage you to click away quickly because we’re not that church, yet we are doing our best to become more like our Lord and Savior every single day. Sometimes we fail, but we believe in learning from those failures and moving forward in faith and victory!
We want to encourage you to take a look at the various links on our site and become acquainted with us, and then join us for worship services!
We like to call our website our “Online Visitor’s Packet” because it’s such a great way for prospective guests to see what we’re all about before actually walking through the doors!
Lives are being changed here at Christ Lutheran Church, and it’s to the honor and glory of Jesus Christ! We are all different, and while we have distinctive needs and situations in our lives, we believe He is more than up to the task of meeting those needs!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our online contact information, or give us a call at the church at 989-868-3281 and we will do our best to answer your question(s)!
I want to encourage you to put the Lord first in your life and see what God can do through you! Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
May you have a blessed pilgrimage with Christ serving His creation.
