The State of the Church - 07/8/2020
​Greetings Members of Christ the King!

We hope this finds you well. If you were unable to attend the State of the Church webinar Wednesday night, July 8th, 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. We also share some updates and changes to our plans for re-entry. 



God’s Blessings & Peace,

Pastor Nate & Pastor Dara
New This Week at Christ the King
Thank You Maureen!

We are sad to announce and bid a heartfelt goodbye to Maureen Loose, Office Manager. She announced this week that she would be leaving July 16. Maureen answered the call of God to serve CtK faithfully. We will miss her, but we know God goes with her. Maureen has been exceptionally devoted to her position and that has been evident in her welcoming nature to the people of CtK and guests. She has gone above and beyond the call of her duties to leave CtK a better place. Thank you Maureen and Godspeed!

In Case You Missed It...
Summer Youth Group
We are excited to announce a new Summer Youth Group for youth in 4th through 8th grades. We will be meeting every other Thursday at 4:30, throughout the summer. We will meet over Zoom until it is safe for us to all be together in person. Our time together will include time as a large group, with some time separated into 4th – 6th grades and 7th -8th grades. While we may physically have to be separated there is no need for us to be socially separated. Summer Youth Group is a time to play games, hear about Jesus, and talk about how God is working in our lives and the lives of those around us. If you are interested in getting the Zoom link, please contact Susie or Kayla.
Scrip Available

Scrip is available during the Covid-19 pandemic. Please contact Maureen by email or phone to let her know what you would like by Tuesday. Scrip that we have on hand will be ready for you to pick up on Thursday. If we do not have it on hand, we will order it and let you know when it comes in. Pickup time is on Thursdays between 10:30am-11:30am. Please bring exact amount as we will not have change on hand.

The Doughnut Hole Gang will be meeting July 11th at 8:00am via Zoom. They are doing a bible study pertaining to the issues of the pandemic. Please email Rick Barnaal for further details.
