Many Gifts, Many Ways to Serve
During these turbulent times with caution and disconnection and inequity front and center in our lives, we may feel helpless at times desiring to be more involved in our world as followers of Jesus. What that looks like for each of us is different as God has blessed us all with different gifts. It could look like random asks of kindness for our neighbors, knitting prayer shawls for families dealing with the grief of suicide, serving meals, buying groceries, financial support for non profits serving the marginalized in our communities, supporting changes to our systems that promote injustice by our words and action (signing letters of support for new laws, joining a march supporting awareness and action for change).

Summer Worship Series: Your Favorite Hymns
Music inspires us, melodies tug our heartstrings, and words give us solace or a message to unite around. With that in mind, The pastors will be using your suggestions of favorite hymns to develop their worship messages for this summer's worship services. Please email Heather with your favorite hymns or comment on the Facebook post on our Christ the King Lutheran Church Facebook page by June 15th. You can search for the page by typing @ctkchurch in the search bar.
A Heartfelt Thank You From Jane!

I would like to say thank you to everyone who sent me cards, pictures, gifts, and well wishes. I love all of our church family! I can't wait to see you all when we meet in-person again.

Hugs, Jane
Opportunity to Provide Dinner for Pillars on Tuesday, July 14th
Changes have been happening at Pillars Adult & Family Center. To allow social distancing they have moved 100 residents to a local hotel, and there are now only 30 residents at the Division Street location where we usually provide and serve a meal. We’d still like to provide them with dinners during this Covid-19 time. We are looking for volunteers to make meals in their homes to be delivered using disposable pans. Judy Ruhl will pick the meals up from your home and deliver them to Pillars. Our next serving date is July 14th, and we are looking for people to provide either all or part of the meal. If you are willing to make lasagna, green beans, frozen garlic bread, or desserts, please contact Judy Ruhl either by email or calling 920-858-3059 after 4:00pm to make arrangements. Please put "Pillars" in the subject line of your email.. Thank you for your generosity.
A Huge Thank You from Samaritan

We received a letter expressing gratitude for our latest contribution from Samaritan Counseling Center. Samaritan helps children, adults and families thrive. With your help, they have made homes more loving. Schools, workplaces and faith communities more productive. Communities stronger. Because of us, Samaritan will make a positive impact on more than 20,000 people in 2020! Thank you for your generosity CtK!

In Case You Missed It...
State of the Church

Greetings Members of Christ the King!

We hope this finds you well. If you were unable to attend the State of the Church webinar last Wednesday night, May 27th, 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
once it is activated.


God’s Blessings & Peace,

Pastor Nate & Pastor Dara
Joint Statement On Reopening from the Appleton Conference

Please watch this important message from the pastors and deacons of the Appleton Conference of ELCA churches.
Looking for Bloggers!
We'd like to invite YOU to be part of the CtK blog! We're curious to hear how you are seeing God's love coming to life from your homes. Are you seeing it through worship? Or maybe your kids did something that reminded you of God's love. Or maybe...your mail carrier or a grocery store worker or a nurse you know?

We like to have one blog post every week, that's usually 300-500 words in length. Pictures and videos are welcome too! If you'd be interested in submitting a blog post, please send an email to Maureen , who will get you on the schedule.

So CtK...how are YOU seeing God's love coming to life?

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.
