Outreach
Christ Lutheran Church is reaching out at home and across the world to further our mission "to know Christ and to make Him known." We contribute to various missions and outreach programs on a routine basis on the second Sunday of each month (MISSION SUNDAY). Envelopes will be available in the pew card holders to place mission offerings in. If members choose to designate a different mission they may indicate that on the envelope. This is a partial listing of the missions CLC contributes to:

CLC is very active in distributing food to our neighbors. The fourth Thursday of each month is Community Food Share Day. We will be handing out grocery bags with dinners and lunches for families of four (extra bags for larger families). Each bag will also include crafty creative projects for your children. Plus, we will give a birthday kit (cake mix, frosting, candles) for those who have children with an upcoming birthday.
Grocery bags can be picked up at the rear entrance of the Church.
CLC not only contributes financially to MN Teen Challenge as part of our Mission of the Month, but they also provide music and witnessing at a service during the month of September. What a wonderful group of men this is and we are not only encouraged but spiritually uplifted by their stories and devotion to God.
Ministry to Piedmont Elementary - God has opened a door of love and service for us to bless the students and staff of Piedmont Elementary.
Our church has blessed the teachers and staff on the first day of school for many years, offering a written prayer for a blessed school year, coffee, juice, and a variety of rolls.
we also provide snacks and supplies to the kindergarten classes a couple times a year.
The Piedmont staff welcome volunteers to read and volunteer where needed during the school year. Just give them a call to offer your time or ask what supplies they are in need of.
Each fall we start collecting hats and mittens to donate to the school children before Christmas break.
CLC Band of Brothers -
Men need other men of God to help develop Christ-like character in their lives, as Proverbs 27:17 says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
Christ Lutheran Church's men's ministry will provide a variety of opportunities for men to fellowship, learn, and serve. The focus is on building strong, Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, trusting relationships, while addressing the needs of men in maintaining and improving their walk with God, through Jesus Christ. The primary purpose of men's ministry is to involve Christian men in service. Men who grow in their faith are more willing and able to serve Jesus Christ.
The Lake Superior Chapter of Lutheran's for Life have temporarily suspended meetings at the church. Please go to their website for more information.
There are discussions about issues from conception to natural death. We discuss what is happening locally, nationally, and worldwide.
The Chapter follows the mission, vision, and philosophy of Lutheran's for Life. The goal is to be strong witnesses to the sanctity of human life through education based upon the Word of God.
Our thanks to those who have contributed so generously. Your contributions do make a difference.
