Stewardship “Sundae”
April 28

Join us on Sunday, April 28th for Stewardship “Sundae!” During worship, Pastor Donald Simmons’ sermon will offer words of faithful abundance in our midst at Christ Lutheran Church. Following worship in the Chapel, we will gather for celebratory ice cream sundaes “topped” with ways members have contributed to the church and local community through volunteerism. What a great way to conclude Celebrate National Volunteer Week!

Celebrating God’s Abundance

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 16, 2023

We are deeply grateful for the generous people that have supported the ministry of Christ Lutheran Church for 120 years. The story of God’s abundance spans many times, families, connections. Considering joining this faith community?

How did Christ Church become your congregation?

When I was a kid (80s), my parents and I came to Christ Lutheran because we only lived a few blocks away on N. Madison St. I was baptized Lutheran at the former St. Michael’s Lutheran in Allentown (9th & Turner Sts.). It has been our home church ever since. I still attend virtually from my home in North Carolina.

Why do you find it important to support Christ Church with time and generosity?

I believe that Christ Church is trying to better the lives of people in downtown Allentown. My late wife was involved in the afterschool program for many years. She was looking forward to be able to spend more time with it once she retired. Obviously, many things changed since early 2020 but I do believe the church is supporting many programs to help people and I think that is worth supporting.

If someone asked you about your church, what would you tell them or how would you invite them?

12th Night is a great introduction to CLC because it is such a beautiful production. However, a “normal” Sunday service is moving with the readings, message, and choir, making it a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and guests. I also think my CLC family who attend services make visitors feel welcome, and of course coffee and fellowship after the service.

Why do you find it important to support Christ Church with time and generosity?

Jesus told us to provide love and help to those who need it. We must open our hearts to others and accept differences.

If someone asked you about your church, what would you tell them or how would you invite them?

If someone asked us about Christ Church, we would tell them about the programs the church is involved in, our great choir, bell choir and our outreach ministry.

When Christ Church comes to mind, who is/are the first person(s) that pop into your mind?

Naturally, the first person that comes to mind is George Boyer. I also greatly appreciated the ministry team led by Pastor Walter Wagner. I am passionate about learning and Pastor Wagner provided thought-provoking sermons and leadership. I also think of other pastors who have provided meaningful sermons over the years.
