"Welcome to the Advocate!"
A publication of celebrations and happenings in the lives of CTK family and friends. Formerly, the Advocate was a printed newsletter with church information. This Advocate (will be printed for those who would like it) will summarize what's happened, and give a preview to new events coming your way! So keep a lookout for the publication every 1st of the month. Birthdays and Anniversaries are near the bottom!

Invitation to Grow in Faith!
It is a brand new year with new opportunities to grow. We make resolutions to lead a healthier lifestyle, save money, or travel. One of the most important resolutions you can make is about your faith! Put God at the center of your life and He will guide you!
There are big and small ways to be involved at CTK. We are willing to train volunteers to be ushers, readers, Sunday School teachers, tech team members or Assistant Ministers. The Council is looking for a new President, Vice President, Education Chairperson and Fellowship Chairperson.
Maria has been able to lead some of our talented CTK members to create beautiful music for our services. There's always room for more.
Set your faith goal for 2023! How can you more fully participate in church activities, committees and worship? Contact Counsel to have your questions answered.
Follow your heart!

Serenity Inns - CTK Community Outreach
Since our visit from Jason Dobson in November we have served 5 meals with the help of many cooks in our congregation. As usual, we travel with hot food to 28th and Brown on the fourth Tuesday of every month and also on the fifth Monday! We will provide 17 meals during 2023! We check with the office a few days ahead of our visit to be sure we plan for allergies and learn their current Covid status. If everyone is healthy, we are invited to eat dinner with the residents and their Innkeeper. If not, we simply drop off the food in disposable containers. When we are able to stay, we open with a prayer led by a resident and then chat during dinner. There is always a thought-provoking question for the residents and guests. This past Tuesday, Katie Varrelmann and I were able to stay to share the meal and were asked, “How do you practice open-mindedness?” The residents provided their ideas on what each would say to his disease if he could speak directly to it! As you might guess, this was a very engaging conversation! As always, the men expressed great appreciation for the homemade rolls, cake, potatoes, salad and turkey casserole that was served with fried chicken. Last week Ken and Sharon Ziarek took Italian Beef and Pulled Pork sandwiches (and many sides). The residents love to eat!! Enjoy the photo of our visit – not everyone is in the photo because those doing dishes did not want to stop cleaning!! As you can see, sometimes the alumni will join us. Bill, who overcame many medical issues in addition to addiction, was with us on the 30th. He asked that we be sure to thank everyone at Christ the King for praying for him because we helped to save his life!! His sincerity is easy to see and feel when speaking with him! This is a rewarding and important ministry to serve. To join us in the future contact Vicky Jaeger at vickyejaeger@gmail.com or 262-490—5128!

Coffee Project
You can order Mt. Meru coffee in the upper sanctuary. Orders placed by the 3rd Sunday of each month will be available for pick up on the 4th Sunday after Service. This global outreach is helping farm families in the Meru Diocese in Tanzania. This project is giving the farmers a hand up rather than a hand out.
