MONTHLY REVIEW | August 15, 2019
The word of God is a refining fire. Jesus is the great divide in human history. He invites our undivided attention and devotion. Today, in the assembly, we are surrounded by “so great a cloud of witnesses.” In the word and in the holy communion we are invited yet again to look to Jesus, “the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.”

+ THOSE SERVING THIS SUNDAY – View List | PDF
Greetings in Christ,

This past weekend the ELCA declared itself a “Sanctuary Church.” As of yesterday, Wednesday, morning the official “Memorial” has not been publicly released but will be soon. However, after reading secondary information from the ELCA Churchwide Press Release, other clergy and the Southeastern Synod Bishop and Bishop-Elect’s communication ,  it appears to me that the word “Sanctuary” is misrepresented. The secondary information states that we will continue to do as we have been doing in the past. That “this church is committed to work toward just and humane policies affecting migrants in and outside the U.S.” ( 2019 ELCA CWA press release )

In the communication from the Southeastern Synod they stated:
" What is a sanctuary denomination?
At its most basic, becoming a sanctuary denomination means that the ELCA is publicly declaring that walking alongside immigrants and refugees is a matter of faith, not just politics. By its action, the ELCA Churchwide Assembly, the highest legislative authority in our church, declared that, in policy and practice, this church will encourage its members and others to learn what scripture teaches about welcoming the stranger and will use its resources to provide concrete resources to assist the most vulnerable migrants who are feeling the sharp edges of a broken immigration system."

Given this information … nothing has changed. We carry on as we have in the past and have promised in our Affirmation of Baptism “to serve all people, following the example of Jesus, and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth” ( ELW pg. 237 or LBW pg. 201 ).

Over the years I have tried to learn to “respond” and “not react.” Please remember that this is not a “we” or “us” against “them” but an “us together” against an ever-growing concern in our world. 

Let us work together on this. Let us pray together. Let us lift one another up no matter how we feel regarding the understanding of the term “sanctuary.” Most especially let us “love one another.”

Pastor Finley 
Greetings in Christ,

There were very few action items at this month’s council meeting - as such I only have a couple of items to report. I am pleased to tell you that Pastor Rodney Eberhardt has agreed to chair the Vision 2020 committee. The council truly appreciates his leadership and thanks him for always stepping up to fill various roles when needed. I am sure he will provide wonderful guidance to the Vision 2020 team; I anticipate hearing from him regarding Vision 2020 in the near future.

One recommendation made by the Audit Committee is to hire a risk manager to oversee the operations of the church and develop an understanding of these operations in case of a disaster. R isk management is the process of protecting the tangible and intangible assets of the church. Tangible assets are physical properties, such as cash, buildings, furnishings, sound systems, computer equipment, etc. Intangible assets are the reputation, public image or “brand” of the ministry. At present CTK is not in a financial position to hire such an individual, but if any member has any risk management experience and would be interested in chairing a risk management committee or could provide some insight into the subject, your church council would love to hear from you. 

Since announcing last month that an Hispanic ministry would be using our facility, I have received some questions about this ministry. Iglesia Nueva Esperanza (New Hope Church) is not a Lutheran ministry but a very small Assemblies of God congregation pastored by Jorge Abarca. This congregation was meeting in the pastor’s home and was seeking a new place to worship and hold bible study. Christ the King has opened its doors to Iglesia Nueva Esperanza and welcomes them. They will be worshiping in Cuthbertson Hall on Sunday’s at 2:30 and conducting Bible study on Tuesday’s at 7:30. As such you may be seeing some new faces around on occasion and their banners up near our entrances in the coming weeks. Pastor Abarca has expressed an interest in participating in some of our many activities, picnic, Octoberfest, etc. Although their beliefs may differ some from our own, we should look at this as an opportunity to reach out to a fellow Christian denomination - I would ask committee members to keep them in mind when planning an event.

Glorify God, Spread the Word, Love One Another!

In God’s Peace,

STEWARDSHIP AND
FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY

Today we all have different challenges as we go through our daily lives. One of the biggest challenges is managing our financial situation. How can we save enough for our normal activities? How important are our credit ratings? Do we have enough of the right insurance? How should we invest for our future? Are we concerned about paying the bills, saving for retirement, paying the mortgage or car loan, student loans, or college for our children? Where does giving back rank in our priorities?

CTK is again offering Financial Peace University (FPU); a Christian-based course where attendees learn how to manage finances in order to change lives and live like no one else. FPU’s mission is to bring hope to people in every walk of life, no matter where they are on their financial journey. We will watch entertaining videos, get questions answered with financial coaching assistance and stay on track with digital tools. Dave Ramsey’s team will provide a wealth of information along with ties to different biblical verses. The course consists of 9 weekly classes that show the art of budgeting, emergency savings, pay off debt, and invest in the future.

Hopefully, we can all see the value in attending the next classes beginning on September 8 and continuing for 9 Sundays from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. as there are always new things to learn. If you are interested, please contact anyone on the Stewardship Committee or the church office. Living debt free and being able to give back in helping others is one of life’s joys.
Dear God, give us the wisdom to make our hearts be still, much as the August wind is still, so that we may listen to the gentle words you speak to us. Help us understand that you alone are the source of every good gift, of the vast array of our universe, and the mystery of each human life. And help us see that we are called to be good stewards of all that you have entrusted to us; tending them faithfully and responsibly so they may ultimately be returned to you with increase. In this month, while a measure of summer’s stillness remains, speak to our heart and guide us in your Son’s ways. Through your Spirit, give us the strength to proclaim your justice and peace in our everyday words and deeds. Amen

ON YOUR STEWARDSHIP JOURNEY:

Love One Another
As New Testament Christians, we live under grace in response to the love Jesus has shown us by his sacrifice for our sins. We are no longer bound by the legalism of the Law. Christ, because of his love for us, fulfilled the Law on our behalf (Romans 13:10). Through him, we are enabled to be faithful to his command to love one another as he has loved us (John 13:34). Just as Jesus spared nothing as he demonstrated and continues to demonstrate his love for us, let us be generous and open-handed in showing love to all.

Prayer: Lord, grant me grace to remain in your love and to proclaim your unfailing love to all. Help others to see your love through me. Lord, open my eyes to opportunities to help and serve others. Through Christ, the suffering Servant, I pray. Amen.
                            
Blessings on your stewardship journey

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
God's Work Our Hands
Sunday, September 8
9:45 - 10:45 a.m.
Fellowship Hall

Sunday, September 8 is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) - one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. Since 2013, thousands of ELCA congregations have participated in this opportunity and dedicated one day to serve communities in ways that share the love of God with all people.
 
This year Christ the King will once again provide snack bags to the first responders in our community. Last year with the help of many in the congregation, we were able to provide snack bags to many of our fire stations and sheriff precincts in the county.
 
For the next several weeks Christ the King will be collecting  individually wrapped snacks  to make up "snack bags" to take to the various first responders in our area. Ideas for snacks are:
  • single serving chips
  • power bars
  • fruit chews
  • single serving cookies
  • anything else that is sealed and considered a snack
 
On September 8 during the Discipleship Hour (from 9:45 - 10:45 a.m.) come help the Youth as we will gather in the fellowship hall to make the "snack bags" with 4-5 snacks in each to take to our own first responders. We’ll also write and color cards to add to the bags. 
 
Are you able to help drive to the various departments to deliver the snacks? Coordinate card making, coloring and writing of cards? Any and all help will be most appreciated! Please email Deborah Scarazzo at debbie@ctklutheran.com.
 
"God's work. Our hands."  Together we can reach out to those beyond the walls of Christ the King to show the love of Christ among us.

SCRIP
A Look at the Numbers

Anyone who is a fan of The Curse of Oak Island knows that eventually they will either find the treasure, or at the very least, unravel the mysteries of the island. Well, here at Christ the King, we also have a money pit that remains virtually untapped. It is the gift card, or scrip program. We’ve been selling gift cards for about ten years and all profits have gone to pay down the principle of our mortgage. In those ten years, we have barely scratched the surface. Therefore we are offering a challenge to help us get the most out of our money pit. We are asking each family to buy $50 worth of gift cards each and every week. We have about 200 families. Thus, we could sell $10,000 worth each week. At an average profit of 5%, we would be able to pay an extra $500 per week on the principle of our mortgage (That is $26,000 per year!). There is a wide variety of gift cards available. Surely you can find a way to spend the same amount of money you currently spend and help us pay off our mortgage. Let’s make the most of our money pit!
