Easter - the "New "Normal"

Welcome to Holy Week! The deepest, darkest days for Jesus. We find Jesus’ teaching lessons of servanthood while washing the disciple’s feet, breaking bread, and blessing wine for a new under-standing of the Passover meal our holy communion, and sharing love, forgiveness, and grace for all to be welcomed. Three days after his death, the disciples and many followers of Jesus awoke with grief, confusion, fear, impatience, and many other emotions.

Is resurrection possible?

How can a dead Savior live?

New This Week

Dinner Church is Coming!

Prepare your menu, pull out the fine china, and get ready to worship with us on Maundy Thursday.

Once again we'll be offering a Dinner Church style worship service. This special worship service is designed to happen over a meal, and will feature hymns, readings, reflections, and some discussion starters.

Worship will premiere on Facebook at 5:00pm so you can view it whenever your family is ready for dinner.

Check out the list in the graphic to see what you'll need to prepare.

Local Bishop Installed at CtK!

If you haven’t ever attended a bishop’s installation service, you now have that chance. It is a worship service that affirms the call for our newly elected bishop. Our new bishop of the East Central Synod of WI – Bishop Anne Edison-Albright and a CtK new partner in ministry, will be installed Sunday, April 11^th at 10:30am via livestream. We will also see our presiding ELCA Bishop – Elizabeth Eaton and other bishops. We will be following our phase 1 protocol guidelines by masking (when not on camera), social distancing and limiting the number of people in the building for this special service. There are a lot of details for this service and we will be doing a lot to make this service happen safely. That means we will not have parking lot worship that day. We also will move our normal worship to 10:30am to celebrate with our bishop and other ELCA congregations and specialized ministries throughout our synod. Mark your calendars for this special day!

Worship Schedule Change

April 11 worship schedule change for the day – Livestream moved to 10:30am for the Bishop’s Installation and no parking lot worship will be held
