King’s Feast

King’s Feast has been re-tooled! Sadly, we have had to say goodbye to Lynn Ann as our leader, but we have wonderful people of CtK who are stepping up to the challenge to lead. King’s Feast is about enjoying great fellowship, food and entertainment. All in the community are welcome to join us! Check out King’s Feast on the 3rd Thursday of the month. Our next time that we meet is Thursday, February 20th. Gathering starts at 11:30am. The potluck meal is at 12:00pm with entertainment to follow.
 
Knit Wits

The Knit Wits will be meeting Tuesday, February 18th at 10:45am in Classroom 5. Do you like to knit and to fellowship with others that do? Knit Wits create handknit gifts that are prayed over by each member and given to many in need. Prayer shawls and lap blankets have been mailed cross-country, to Haiti and nursing homes. Did you know that members can use them, in addition to handknit bears, to give to family, friends, other church members that need comfort? What a blessing! If you’d like more information on Knit Wits, please contact Julie Meitzen at 920-450-9252.
 


Join us next Sunday, February 23rd, for Frolic Family Playgroup.
Frolic Family is a faith-based playgroup for children aged 0 – 3 along with their families. This month’s Frolic will look a bit different this month, we invite families to enjoy their Fat Sunday breakfast with one another in the Fellowship Hall and then come into classroom 5 for a Bible story and a chance to play together. Frolic Family Playgroup is a program for parents/guardians to support their young children as they take their first steps in faith. Contact Susie (sselle@christ-the-king.org) with questions.

Open Prayer Space

Lent is a time God calls us to examine our lives. Our theme will be the Wilderness. Will we go? What will we find there? The church sanctuary will be available between 6:30am and 8:00am Wednesday mornings beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 26. This will be a time for individual quiet reflection and contemplation. We are calling this, “Open Space.” Devotionals and bibles will be available. Enter in and see how God is present!
