New Adult Bible Study:

Learning to Be a Theologian Like Luther

All Christians are theologians. It is not only part of our Scriptural understanding of what it means to be part of the "priesthood of all believers," but is part of our Reformation heritage. Being a theologian does not require advance study or degrees. In many ways it is much simpler, but also more complex. Come and join us for this one-off study from Luther's thought on this topic this Sunday (Oct. 18). We hope to see you there.

Trivia Night Hosted by Katie Gwaltney

On October 23rd I am hosting a trivia night in order to raise money for my senior film. There were 60 groups that pitched and we were one of the lucky 15 groups that got picked to be able to produce a film for our senior projects and I am helping raise money for it by having an event at church because I think it is important to share a little bit about what I do in a fun way. It will be from 6:30-8pm and I will be outside with a table in between services to answer questions! Thank you!

OKTOBERFEST IS COMING!!!

Oktoberfest is Sunday, October 25. It is also Reformation Sunday. We will have one service this day- 10am and it will be in the sanctuary. We look forward to having the preschool kids sing during the service. The Oktoberfest celebration will be from 11am-1pm. It is crucial that we have people who are willing to come and help set up on Saturday, help during the event and clean up following the event. We need volunteers for Saturday decorating, Potato Peeling, help during the event (setting out and replenishing food) and Cleanup on Sunday!! Many hands makes for light work! Sign up sheets will be in the courtyard on Sundays.

Chris Hauser Sabbatical

Light of Christ Family,
Chris Hauser will be away on his sabbatical given to him by Concordia University Irvine. He will be gone from Sept 20 - Nov. 8. Like Pastor Jim he will be doing some camping/hiking, but unlike Pastor Jim he will be presenting at conferences, conducting research, and visiting out-of-state family. In my place, Aaron Thomas (Church Music student at Concordia) will be filling in for the traditional service. He is more than qualified and has played organ for several years at his father's LCMS church in Michigan. I look forward to worshiping with you upon my return.

Blessings, Chris Hauser
