WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY - All Women of the Congregation are welcome to come join us on Thursday, November 13th 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 3 – Unusual Preaching - Jonah
Spiritual writer Fredrick Buechner wrote, “The Gospel is bad news before it is good news.” How can bad news become good news? How can despair turn to hope? How can disbelieving be transformed into believing? One way to answer this can be found in the Lutheran understanding of God’s Word as both Law and Gospel. That is why Martin Luther encouraged people to listen for two things in a Sermon, because each needs to do its work on us to bring about Faith.
YOUTH & FAMILY - Saturday, November 15th at 5 pm we will
be watching "King of Kings" on the Big Screen in the Fellowship Hall and have Family Game Night after the movie. We will also have pizza and refreshments! Hope to see you there.

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.
