Dear all,

Here is a reminder about a community event which starts tomorrow: 

  • The Athens Area Mediation Service is sponsoring a series of three Zoom meetings to explore the impact of racism on ourselves and our communities. The meetings will be on the following Tuesdays, July 20, 27 and August 3, from 7-8pm. All are invited. No prior experience discussing these issues is required!  Click Here to register.

Please note that the times that went out regarding the LSS food pantry were incorrect last week due to an old flier being distributed.  The correct times are from 11 a.m. - Noon on 2nd Thursdays at the Plains UMC and 11 a.m. - Noon on 4th Mondays at the Coolville Fire House.  For more information, or to volunteer, contact the office. 

  • Kroger Community Awards is now set up.  Did you know you Christ Lutheran Church can benefit anytime you shop at Kroger?  If you already have a Kroger rewards card, it is easy to add us!  If not, it's also easy to sign up. Visit http://www.kroger.com and sign in (or create) your Kroger rewards account.  Under Community award partners, search for Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church or (easier) use our direct code FL472 and then click Enroll. Moving forward, Christ Lutheran will receive a small donation percentage of any groceries you purchase at Kroger.  For questions, please contact Pr. Chad or Katie Beth. 
  • Amazon Smile -- Shoppin on Amazon?  Don't forget to make your purchases through Amazon Smile rather than regular Amazon, and to add Christ Lutheran, Athens as your beneficiary.  It's no cost to you, and we will receive a small percentage of every purchase you make.  For questions, please contact Pr. Chad or Katie Beth.
