Christ Lutheran Parish

On Saturday evening, following the Second Saturday Contemporary Service at Zion, CHAPPY and members of the Parish Youth met to put some events on the calendar. Many of the items are still in the panning stages. If you can contribute to any of these events please let me know.

March 28: Jonathan Rundman Live in Concert. Doors open at 6:30 concert begins at 7:30. We need greeters, cookies, bars, people to put on coffee, collect a free will offering, and be generally hospitable.

April (day to be announced): Garbage Pickup/Community Cleanup with an Earth Day theme. April 19th-25th is National Volunteer Week and contains Earth Day on the 22nd and Arbor Day on the 24th.

May 2: Target shooting at Range Sportsman Club on Black River Road. This will be a fun afternoon of learning gun safety, and trying out shooting sports.

June: Two events may go on in June. The first is the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. We have decided to help in a subsidiary role. We will sell luminaries and volunteer, but will probably not have a team of our own. The other event is a bonfire and hike on Jim and Jane Waitanek's property that adjoins the Wolverine Trail System.

July: We are still planning this one, but it will probably be something that involves canoes, kayaks, inner-tubes, water, and a picnic.

August: The Parish Picnic is in August and will be the CHAPPY event for that month. There are lots of planning and preparations to be done before the picnic this year.

Thanks to the 60 or so people who turned out to the Second Saturday Contemporary Service. Let your friends, neighbors, and relatives know about it. You are the best promoters we've got!

In Christ,
Pastor Christian
