ADVENT SERVICES
“This Is My Son”, our series of weekday Advent communion services, will be held and streamed
on WEDNESDAYS, November 30, December 7, 14, and 21, at 11:00. A luncheon will be
served following each morning service. (This week we will have Taco Bake Casserole!)
November 30: Just as God’s people of old waited with faith in the coming Messiah, so is our Advent anticipation of Christmas… Our hopes and fears are real. They can distract us from God’s promises.
God’s promise was from the beginning spoken to Adam and Eve. Salvation would come through the woman’s offspring. But it would not be Cain, son of Adam, nor Ishmael, son of Abraham, nor Absalom, son of David. The true Son of Adam and Abraham and David is the Son of God. Our attention and faith thus direct our hopes and fears to God’s Son, in whom we receive adoption as sons and daughters in the family of God.

 

 

Worship capacity and hygiene (face coverings are required) will continue to follow state
recommendations. Both the gym and the sanctuary will be “air scrubbed” after services.
Please, if you have traveled to a virus hot-zone, please read and follow the Cook County
requirements for self-isolation. During that time, if you need help to connect with worship
remotely or by DVD, please contact Pastor Ray for assistance.
Videos of the services can now be found on our website and YouTube. Should a family member
or you want a DVD of the service, please contact the Church Office at 708-349-0431.
Worship services will be available to view on the Church website at 12:00 noon.

 

 

         PATHS TO MEMBERSHIP

Guests and regular guests are always most welcome here at Christ Lutheran! Recently, some regular guests have asked me about how to formally join the congregation. There are several paths to membership. For those who have current Lutheran membership, a Transfer request letter is asked for and sent from our church office to the sending congregation. Those that have been confirmed as Lutheran and whose congregational membership has lapsed are welcome to speak with me about being welcomed into membership by Reaffirmation. For those who are new to the faith, I welcome conversations about Holy Baptism and membership. If you are from a different Christian tradition, we can talk about needed involvement in our next Faith and Congregation Class (FCC) and subsequent Confirmation of Faith. FCC is recommended for all new CLC members since the class reviews the basics of our Christianity and Lutheran denomination and the mission, history, organization, programs, art and buildings of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church. If you have any questions or would like to start a membership process, please contact me, Pr. Chuck, at cjohnson@christlutheranorland.com

Christ Lutheran Cemetery, located at 147th & 82nd Avenue in Orland Park, IL., has been in existence since May 1, 1906. A section immediately south of the original property was purchased in 1986, making it possible to have two driveways off 82nd Avenue for a separate entrance and exit. In 1991 an exchange of land to the west was made between the cemetery and the owners of Silver Lake Country Club.

In the early 1900′s, a cast iron gateway bearing the cemetery name graced the entrance. The present sign, which can be read from either direction, was installed in 1995.

There are a total of 2,058 spaces in the entire cemetery. The cost of each gravesite is $600 and the opening charge is $1,100. Lots are for sale to all Lutherans and their families. Please contact the church office at 708-349-0431 for more information.
