Week 1 Think Outside yourself,
Week 2 Think Outside the box,
Week 3 Think Outside the church’s 4 walls, and
Week 4 Think Outside your comfort zone
Four ways to think and realize what it means to be “blessed to be a blessing?”- Genesis 12:2 Over the next four weeks of October we will explore your blessings and how you can bless others through service to God and one another. God calls us to put our faith into action and we will discover what that means through our annual fall appeal. Putting our faith into action is our call by God and the Church. You have blessings and gifts. How are you sharing them? Not sure? We have four cards that were sent to each home and are to be filled out by every member. If you need more you can download them from the church website https://www.christ-the-king.org/think-outside.html or pick more up at church during the week or when you come to worship.
Come! Think Outside! See how God’s love comes to life!

Not only does this give us a better measure of profitability but helps us achieve goal congruence. Don't forget you can always give to the Endowment Fund. |

Parking Lot Worship has returned
We are happy to announce that starting Sunday, Oct 10 at 10:30am, parking lot worship is back. It will be held weekly and include communion and singing each week. We know there are some people who are desiring to be at church but remain cautious of in-person gathering. We hope the addition of this service will be helpful and life giving. More details to be shared in our next Constant Contact newsletter.

You may have heard of the Knit-Wits or the Prayer Shawl Ministry here at church but don’t know much about us. We have met formally or informally for over 15 years working on a variety of projects but the prayer shawls and lap blankets have continued as the mainstay of our work.
Because of the repetitive nature of knitting and crocheting, it is fitting to incorporate a spiritual practice of prayer when we are knitting the shawls. God’s spirit is bound in this ministry and connects us to God and each other. They are available for anyone in the community to give or receive, bringing comfort and a connection. The shawls are something tangible that “Brings God’s Love to Life”
We have many shawls available at church if you have someone you know that could use one, please call the office and we will get a shawl ready for pickup.
