Rainbow Coming Around the Bend
(Thank you Judy Deckert for sharing this springtime reflection that gives hope.)

On a sunny morning, God comes alive in rainbows released in my living room. Sunlight refracted by crystal crosses dance in colorful display. My heart skips a beat in gratitude for the new day. Early morning, I wonder, 'How will God color in the days canvas?'

Outside it is Springtime. Shades of green dominate with punctuation of dandelion yellow. Purples pause perennially as crocus, iris and at last lilacs appear Peonies pop Riotous colors shout, 'Come out, come out. Come out and play, God is alive!'




Peace,

Judy Deckert

State of the Church Webinar on July 8th at 6:30pm

Join us July 8th at 6:30pm for the State of the Church webinar. During the State of the Church Webinar, Pastor Nate, Pastor Dara, and two council members will give updates on how things are going at Christ the King during our time apart. We’ll also share some updates and changes to our plans for re-entry. There will also be some time for Q & A. We do hope you will be able to join us.

Since it is a webinar, the only people who will appear on screen are the presenters, then you will have the opportunity to type in your questions.  Look for a separate email with the link coming soon!
Thank You For Your Generosity CtK!

We received a heartfelt thank you from Crossways Camping Ministries. Our gift helps to ensure that every camper or guest will be able to afford a quality camping or retreat experience, and their programs will continue to serve their Mission for many years to come. Thank you for your generosity CtK!
Summer Youth Group
We are excited to announce a new Summer Youth Group for youth in 4th through 8th grades. We will be meeting every other Thursday at 4:30, throughout the summer. We will meet over Zoom until it is safe for us to all be together in person. Our time together will include time as a large group, with some time separated into 4th – 6th grades and 7th -8th grades. While we may physically have to be separated there is no need for us to be socially separated. Summer Youth Group is a time to play games, hear about Jesus, and talk about how God is working in our lives and the lives of those around us. If you are interested in getting the Zoom link, please contact Susie or Kayla.  
Christ in Our Home Devotionals
We have put out the current Christ in Our Home devotionals for July/August/September. They can be found in front of church next to the mailbox in the Rubbermaid tote. Please make sure the cover is replaced securely back on the tote once you've taken your devotional.
Motorized Wheelchair Available

We have been notified that there is a motorized wheelchair available. It does need two batteries which probably will cost about $100 each for whoever wants it. Please contact Loren Schuette by email or by calling 920-788-0241 for more information.
Doughnut Hole Gang
The Doughnut Hole Gang will be meeting June 27th, and July 11th at 8:00am via Zoom. They are doing a bible study pertaining to the issues of the pandemic. Please email Rick Barnaal for further details.
In Case You Missed It...
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.
Offerings

Many members have been asking about how they can continue to give their offerings. There are many opportunities to give. 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.
Scrip Available

Scrip is available during the Covid-19 pandemic. Please contact Maureen by email or phone to let her know what you would like by Tuesday. Scrip that we have on hand will be ready for you to pick up on Thursday. If we do not have it on hand, we will order it and let you know when it comes in. Pickup time is on Thursdays between 10:30am-11:30am. Please bring exact amount as we will not have change on hand.
