State of the Church
Greetings Members of Christ the King!

We hope this finds you well as we enter another week of our safer at home order.
If you were unable to attend the State of the Church webinar last night, April 30th, we recorded it and have attached it below.

During the State of the Church Webinar, Pastor Nate, Pastor Dara, and two council members gave updates on how things are going at Christ the King during our time apart. They offered some updates on our financial position, and what staff have been working on. They also gave some insight into our initial plans for re-entry and what it will look like in conjunction with the Badger Bounce Back plan, once it is activated.


God’s Blessings & Peace,

Pastor Nate & Pastor Dara

Immediate Need for Mowers!
We are still in need of people to help with the lawn mowing for the summer. There are two riding lawn mowers so we would like 6 teams of two. We would like to have 5 more people to volunteer. Mowers must be 18 years or older or must have a valid driver's license and an adult present to operate if the rider is under 18. Teams are scheduled on a rotating basis. So, if we have enough teams, you may only have to mow a few times during the summer. If you have questions or would like to sign up, contact Shirley. Space is also available to sign up as a sub.
Offerings

Many members have been asking about how they can continue to give their offerings. There are many opportunities to give. First, you can either mail in your offering as we have staff picking up the mail. Secondly, see the link below for additional ways to give electronically. This link will take you to our website. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office at 788-6492 as messages are being checked as often as we can. Thank you for your continued stewardship.
In Case You Missed It...

Online Coffee Hour

Is anyone else craving fellowship? Well, we have created a virtual fellowship time called Online Coffee Hour. Come join us from your home with your coffee and cookie immediately following Sunday service. The link will be shared that day in the comments of the FB post. If we can't be at church, we can bring the church to you!
Online Sunday School

Join us right after our online Sunday worship service for Sunday School with Susie. On our website, Susie has uploaded the activity pages for the week. If you happen to miss the live stream, the recordings will be on our website under Virtual Church under Sunday School at this link .
Knit-Wits
During these times of Covid-19 and physical distancing, the Christ the King “Knit-Wits” are still making and praying over prayer shawls and finding solace as they are knitting. The need for the shawls continues in our community at large. If you are a knitter and wish to share with others during this time, we have yarn and simple patterns available for you to participate. They can deliver the items to you. If you have any questions, please contact Julie Meitzen either by email or by calling 920-450-9252.
Christ in Our Home Devotionals

We have put out the current Christ in Our Home devotionals. They can be found in front of church next to the mailbox in the Rubbermaid tote. Please make sure the cover is replaced securely back on the tote once you've taken your devotional. Also, please note that in the tote are First Communion booklets. Those are for the First Communion students & their parents.
