Christ be with me, Christ within me,

Christ behind me and before me.

Christ in hearts of all who know me.

Christ in mouth of friend and stranger,

Christ in quiet and in roar.

Love, blessed Trinity of three,

Bound in unity

Who guides my journey.

I will arise with strength of heaven

Trusting in Your light

To guide my journey

Shine before me

Lead me home.

Wisdom teach me, watching o’er me.

Ear to hear me, hand to guard me,

Love to conquer every fear.

The kids are so excited to pick out animals for people! They have each been given a bank to collect change from family and friends, and they have been encouraged to do extra chores in order to earn money to put in their bank.

Meet with friends from CTK to walk together

Partners & friends - 

Reformation Lutheran Church invites you to its 2023 Good Friday Neighborhood Walk. Like the stations of the cross, our group will stop at sites in the community that demonstrate signs of despair and transformation. We will read Scripture, and the group will sing and pray together, lifting high the symbol of the cross in our heart of the city neighborhood.

The walk begins at 3:15 PM on Friday, April 7th after a brief time of fellowship inside the church located at 3806 W. Lisbon Avenue. The walk lasts approximately 45 minutes and will conclude at the church. The walk and church facility/restrooms are wheelchair accessible. The walk is suitable for all ages. Carpooling is a good idea; street parking is available.

We hope to see you as together we witness to God's presence in our community!

Blessings,

Marge Johnson, Ministry Coordinator|

All God's Children 

Do you and your spouse have very different personalities? Does it cause friction in your relationship? It’s easy to get wrapped up in those differences, especially when they start causing conflict.

Does it mean you're stuck fighting about them for the rest of your marriage? Luckily, the answer is no. Click below for more.

Volunteers Needed for the Community Shelter Program

FAMILY PROMISE OF WAUKESHA COUNTY is starting a new program to serve the homeless. From May through October we will be housing families at the over-flow shelter in Waukesha. Each family has their own room and bathroom. The shared space includes the kitchen, dining area and relaxation area. Five families will be housed on site. The volunteers will go to them to provided meals each day.

Our church and our support churches (St. Catherine’s & St. Joan of Arc) are working together to provide one meal a month. We can cook it in their kitchen or bring it ready to serve. To accomplish this ministry we will need cooks and trained individuals to serve the meal and provide fellowship from 5-8pm one day per month. 

To be an in-person volunteer you will need to:

•  Complete the attached application
•  Allow a background check
•  Attend 2 on-line training videos (3-40 min. each)
•  Attend one in-person training at the over-flow shelter to become familiar with the facility (about 90 min.).
• Donate 3 hours of your time at the center on the dates you select

Margo Fiesler is our guest speaker at the Ecumenical Breakfast in May and she is having a Spring Refresh the weekend before. See flyer below.
