JOY CIRCLE will meet Thursday, October 8th at 6:30 pm. All women of the church are welcome. We look forward to seeing you!
WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY will meet October 8th at 7 pm for the study “Walking by Faith, Not by Sight.” “We walk by faith, not by sight” - 2 Corinthians 5:7. Faith asks us to cling to God’s promise despite evidence to the contrary. It believes that even if the promise is not fulfilled in our mortal walk, it will be fulfilled in God’s time and in the world to come and the new life promised through Christ. Session One – Faith and Sight in Daily Living - VOCATION. We all want to see results that help us believe we are “doing it right”. Or maybe given our human nature, we want our work to be congratulated or rewarded, or perhaps, simply to be noticed. Our thirst for proof or reward is a natural expression of self-centered human nature. We often look to what we do for affirmation. This is justification by works, which walks by sight. Faith on the other hand, points to the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus and grants us our justification before we have done a single thing. All women are welcome to join us.
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.

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.
