Cover Acknowledgement
We thank Hope Luurtsema, Faith Lutheran Church, Coloma, Mich. whose artistry appears on this month’s cover. Hope explains the meaning of the cover’s symbolism, based on Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost,” as follows:
Notice how the “k” in “seek” reaches up toward the heart to remind us that God the Father loves us so much that He sent His Son to come to earth to die for our sins. Jesus is symbolized by the cross also extending upward from the “k.” After Jesus arose and ascended into heaven, He did not leave us comfortless, but sent the Holy Ghost to keep us in the true faith. He is represented by the dove swooping down from the “s” in “seek.” The Triune God sought us!
” . . . to save that which was lost.” Discover how Christ encircles us with His love. Visualize this with the “v” in “save.” Follow the line of the “e” up to the right, through the hand, down the wrist, and up again to form a heart. We were lost and falling farther away from God when Christ caught us. He saved us the only possible way, when our sins nailed Him to the cross. Through His precious, innocent blood, we are washed clean. “It is finished!” We are saved through faith in Christ. Praise be to God!
May we, out of gratitude, spend our lives in joy, telling others of Christ’s love for them.
The CLC Foundation
To: “inform the members of the CLC of the existence and purpose of the
Foundation”
Which is: “to provide the means for the CLC to administer special
gifts and bequests given by members of the CLC for the Work
of the Kingdom of God,” usually for longer-range rather
than current purposes.
Gifts to the Foundation of cash and other assets convertible to cash, such as financial instruments and real estate, will ordinarily flow into the Foundation Endowment, with principal kept invested, and earnings disbursed annually for CLC purposes and projects as needs determine.
The Foundation was formed to be a potential part of CLC members’ estate planning. Thus, those interested in material reviewing options for giving to the Foundation are urged to ask for “Ways of Giving” from:
CLC Foundation Chairman,
c/o Immanuel Lutheran College,
501 Grover Rd.,
Eau Claire WI 54701

“Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
