Holy Gardeners

In Spring, the Holy Gardeners need helping hands to clean out the garden beds, dig in the dirt and plant our many garden beds in Irene’s Garden. We gather our produce throughout the Summer. At the end of September, we dig everything up. The fruit of our labors are available to anyone that wants them.

LWML

The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League is an official auxiliary of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, whose mission it is to proclaim Christ, support missions, and equip women to honor God by serving others. Our group here at CLC meets four times a year for fellowship, Bible Study and planning of servant projects. Mite collections are held twice a year as opportunities for the congregation to support missions. We welcome all mission minded women!

Altar Guild

Ever wonder who changes the banner that hangs behind the pulpit? Or who changes the paraments to match the right color for the church year? Or who drapes the cross at Easter? Well, that’s the Altar Guild! The Altar Guild cares for the chancel appointments. We also keep the communion ware polished, the oil candles full, and adorn the chancel with flowers.

O.W.L.S.

Older Wiser Livelier Seniors! Our O.W.L.S. Committee is designed for ages 50+. The O.W.L.S. are a social group that get together monthly, to host lunches, social activities, and games. The O.W.L.S. hot holiday events for seniors at Halloween and Christmas, go on outings, provide guest speakers, and holiday events like Octoberfest. At Christmas, we get together to decorate the church and the Christmas tree for the Sanctuary. The yearly rummage sale proceeds provide the O.W.L.S. with the means to give back to the church. Each year, the O.W.L.S. present the church with an anniversary gift.

O.W.L.S. meet the 2nd Thursday of every month.

Ushers

CLC Ushers are an important part of our worship team. Ushers greet members and guests as they arrive for services, pass out bulletins and programs, guide congregants to their seats and assist worshippers during Holy Communion. This is a great way to meet new people while serving God! “On-the-job” training will be provided.
