 "Operation
Kid-to Kid"
September 23rd after the service in church
During VBS each child made 2 prayer bears, one for themselves and one to send to
an at-risk child in Africa. This was a fantastic way for kids to demonstrate
Jesus' Love through giving and service. We joined other children across North
America in this missions project, "Operation Kid-to Kid". We have a good
quantity of bears left which is a great opportunity for everyone in our
congregation to have part in this project. Details will be announced in church
and you can make one/two or more bears on Sunday September 23rd after the
service. We plan to show you slide shows of the children's VBS! It will be fun!

"EQUIPPING
THE SAINTS"
Saturday: October 21,
2006 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Everyone is invited to this FREE Workshop! You don't
have to be a member of Christ Lutheran church to participate.
On October 21, Saturday, we shall conduct the seminar
"Equipping the Saints" from 10:00 - 12:00. We will search answers to the
questions: Who are the Saints? Who are the lost? How and where do I find them?
Lunch Break!
From 13:30 - 17:00 we shall find answers to question: How
and where do I find the lost? Try it! You'll like it! Welcome to the team.
Christ Lutheran Church in Aurora is hosting
Equipping the Saints workshop. Designed to help pastors and lay people to
learn how to care for the lost. We are always delighted to see the dramatic
changes that take place within the congregation after the workshop is over. As
a result congregation is strengthened to start an effective outreach program,
bring new energy to the congregation.
As church members learn about the effects of postmodernism
on the way we live and the changing needs of the lost, they're more willing to
adapt their worship, Bible study programs and church activities to accommodate
seekers.
A congregation participating in Equipping the Saints
workshop are also able to build strong and effective mission and vision.
What you will take away from this workshop:
a/ A renewed interest in reaching the lost with
life-centered Gospel messages. People who have attended the worship in
post-communist countries report they are no longer afraid to speak about their
faith with friends, neighbors and family members.
b/ A fuller understanding of evangelism - what it is,
how you do it and what effect it has on the lives of the lost. You will be
prepared to move beyond inviting people to church and really begin sharing
your faith and hope with others.
c/ Practical tools for reaching the lost. You'll have a
deeper understanding of why the church is not reaching the lost, and why we
haven't been able to establish real effective connections with people who
don't go to church.
PERSONALIZED WITNESS IS THE KEY - IT IS FIRST ABOUT
THEM, THEN ABOUT JESUS, AND ONLY THEN ABOUT CHURCH. YOU LISTEN, CARE ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS, SHARE HOW JESUS
HAS HELPED YOU, EXPLAIN HOW JESUS CAN HELP THEM, SHARE HOW THEY CAN LEARN
ABOUT HIM IN CHURCH.
