Esther Bible Story 


Greetings Sunday School families! 
We are missing many of our children at Sunday School due to schedule conflicts with sports etc.  We care about your child’s Christian education and are looking for ways to partner with you in connecting with them when we don’t get to see them!
We are attaching the weekly video clip that we use in our Sunday School opening time as well as the scripture passage the lesson comes from. We encourage you to share this lesson with your child each week. 
Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance.  Blessings in Christ – Christ Lutheran Church Sunday School team

Dear Christ Lutheran Family, I wanted to take a moment and just say “THANK YOU!” Thank you for all the care and support you have given to my family and I over the last 7+ years as we have ministered among you here in the Cairo community.  We are truly blessed with the opportunity to work among you, and walk along side of you on this spiritual journey, while we wait for the final return of our Lord.  Thank you for your recognition of our work in your midst during Pastor Appreciation Sunday but also for all you do to support the ministry here at Christ.  I pray our relationships together will continue to be blessed by God for as long as we are together.  Peace2u! Pastor Brian and Family

News from the Community Food Pantry!


We are excited to share our 12 Days of Giving Event that begins THIS Sunday!


We have gathered a LONG list of local families to bless with Thanksgiving Baskets, but we are needing help to pack these baskets!


Basically, we ask that anyone who wants to participate just purchase the 12 items on the list and put them in a bag. Drop that bag off to the Vault or the Cairo Village office anytime between now and the 19th and we will do the rest!


Please contact Mandy Schweitzer if you have any questions! 🙂

“Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.” Martin Luther

Workers Needed for LLL State Fair Booth

The Nebraska Lutheran Laymen’s League plans to host the LLL State Fair booth in Grand Island Friday, Aug. 27, through Monday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day. This is a great opportunity to share your faith and offer valuable printed resources on Christian beliefs – resources with answers to today’s problems and challenges – and visit with fair goers about faith issues. If enough volunteers do not come forward by Saturday, June 12, the booth will not be able to operate this year for the first time in many years. If you are willing to help for a few hours, please contact Paul Schmidt, LLL State Fair Booth Coordinator, cell or text 402-460-0004, or email psflatwater@inebraska.com
Thank you for your help!

♫ Concordia Chamber Choir Concert

The Concordia University, Nebraska Chamber Choir will perform at Trinity Lutheran Church on May 8 at 6:00 p.m.  “The Chamber Choir strives to perform music at a high artistic level – music which inspires, instructs and entertains,” Dr. Kurt E. Von Kampen, the choir’s conductor and music department chair, said. “But the mission of the choir goes beyond mere artistry. The University Chamber Choir exists to proclaim the Gospel of Christ in song and to honor God with the musical talents the students have been given.” Admission to concerts is free. Free-will offerings will be taken to help defray tour expenses. This will be in place of the Saturday worship service.

Stained-Glass Window Fundraiser
Fundraising for the church stained-glass windows has begun!
 We are starting with an opportunity to purchase a pane of the stained-glass design through an envelope donation system. Envelopes with donation suggestions have been placed on the standing bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall. Please take an envelope of the donation desired and place in the offering plate. Some envelopes at the end have no designated amount allowing you to donate a desired amount.

Is there an Interest for a NURSERY Room in our church?
The Board of Education is looking into setting up a Nursery Room in our Church. They are first seeing if there is an interest in this room and need your input, please let Taryn Wright or Jenny Reynolds know if this is something that you believe would be of use in our church. The NURSERY ROOM would be in use during Sunday School Time 9:00 am – 10 am and also would be used during worship 10:30 am – 11:30 am. There would need to be volunteer staff scheduled to man the room while in use. We would need to look into getting a TV and Audio set up in the room so those using the room would have access to Worship. This is in the beginning stages and would be a great asset to our church, but before the Board of Education can move forward they need to know there is a great interest. Please let Taryn or Jenny know if this is something you would like our church to have.

For the church history book, updated history for each organization is needed. A good time to complete this task is during the upcoming ALL BOARDS MTG. scheduled for Monday, March 1st, at 6:45 p.m.
Peg or Lisa will have a copy of the 75th Anniversary history during this meeting time. Please contact one of them if you’re not able to attend. The completion time schedule is April 1st.

The NURSERY ROOM would be in use during Sunday School Time 9:00 am – 10 am and also would be used during worship 10:30 am – 11:30 am. There would need to be volunteer staff scheduled to man the room while in use. We would need to look into getting a TV and Audio set up in the room so those using the room would have access to Worship. This is in the beginning stages and would be a great asset to our church, but before the Board of Education can move forward they need to know there is a great interest. Please let Taryn or Jenny know if this is something you would like our church to have.
