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

Preschool Prayer Program

We still have 9 students that need sponsors. Sponsor a preschooler for $30 donation that will cover the cost of a children's Bible and other small gifts that will share the love of Jesus with these children. More importantly, your ongoing prayers for these students and their families are invaluable. Click the link here to sign up or sign up on Sunday morning. Thank you!

California Road Trip--Life Lessons Along the Way
Sunday Morning Bible Study taught by Pastor Jim Elmore, beginning August 2

California is the perfect place for a road trip. Through a Bible Study Series, we will learn some spiritual lessons for faith and life as we “road trip” together to popular and famous California locations. Our time together could be more than a “trip of a lifetime,” it could be a trip that could quite literally change your life. Our itinerary (weekly studies) will take us to Coloma and the American River, Truckee and Donner Pass, Lake Tahoe, Bodie, Owens Valley, Manzanar, and the Redwoods. Join the adventure.
