Planning for God’s Work. Our Hands. Day
On Sunday, September 7, we will join 9,100 congregations participating in “God’s work. Our Hands” Day. Across the country and in our local community, thousands of members will engage in service work to make a positive change in our communities and share God’s love in the world. Join us as we do God’s work with our hands!
Christ Lutheran Church is collecting items for clean-up or “flood” buckets, a shared ministry with other congregations in our Synod – and with Lutheran Disaster Response of Eastern PA. We’ll gather after worship that day – in the Chapel – to assemble everything and enjoy refreshments as we work. We hope you will all help in this worthwhile project! Our needs are in the link below. All sign-ups are being tracked through this link so that our resources are as up-to-date as possible.
Members and friends are asked to contribute the items needed by September 3. Please be sure to let us know what you drop off or are planning to bring! We each contribute items included in the buckets, not a complete list. The 30-buckets needed were already graciously donated! Items should be dropped off in the Chapel hallway. All sign ups during the week and on Sundays will be via the link below.

Congregational Meeting
August 3, 2025
Members of the congregation are asked to join us Sunday, August 3. A Congregational Meeting will be held immediately following worship. The property team investigated repair of the main church doors as well as secured replacement bids.
Repairing the doors (installed in the 1950s) is no longer an option due to hardware and structure deterioration . Out of the bids received, the Property Team selected one to send to Church Council as a recommendation for action.
The purpose of the meeting is to 1) approve the proposal recommended by the Property Team and Church Council to replace four sets of doors and, 2) approve how to pay for the project. Active members on our roles will receive written information about this meeting within the next 10 days. The four sets of doors being addressed are the three main sets in the Narthex, and the handicapped entrance on 13th Street in the west tower. The transom windows (above the doors) will remain.
New Bible Study Forming
There have been several requests for an in-person, evening Bible study – so we can include people who work during the day – so let’s do it! Beginning Wednesday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m., we will meet in the Fellowship Hall. Pastor Paulette will offer an interactive Bible study and discussion. A good topic to begin with is “Women of the Bible” – why not? We will first focus on women in the Old Testament. Let’s see how it works and go from there. People can park in the parking lot and enter through the Main Office entry. Contact Pastor Paulette or the church office if you’re interested in attending or to learn more.
Weekly Bible Study
Fridays at 7PM
Join Christ Lutheran Church every Friday on Zoom beginning at 7PM for faith conversation! The current series is exploring the Gospel of John. Need the Zoom link? Contact the church office at info@christ-atown.org and start the conversation!
