The most cut and dry Worship Update ever: |
Due to the ongoing pandemic and our many families being in a different place with their pandemic comfort, the council of Christ the King has decided that throughout the month of September, we will keep having ONE Sunday worship service at 9:15am. The council will re-assess the worship schedule in October, and will increase back to two worship services if church attendance warrants it. |

East Central Synod of Wisconsin
Fall Retreat at Imago Dei Village
Saturday, September 18, 2021
Planning is in full swing for the annual fall retreat. Members of the board are excited to welcome you. Registration is open! (Early registrations are appreciated.) All women are welcome to attend whether you have a formal WELCA group or not.
The “Are You a BAG Lady” fall retreat is going to be a full day of learning and laughter. Pastor Judy Deckert will be our featured retreat leader. You may have seen her preliminary “Bag Lady” Bible studies on the East Central Synodical Women of the ELCA Facebook page. Her wit and humor will be engaging as she leads the workshops. We welcome Bishop Anne Edison-Albright who will be leading a dynamic worship service with Holy Communion.
In addition to workshops and worship, there will be door prizes, a silent auction, time to explore the remodeled lodge, music, devotions, food, and fellowship. Plus, time to meet with others from your conference. Don’t forget to take a picture with our official “Bag Lady” greeter.
For in-kind donations, gently used handbags, purses, and wallets are being collected at the retreat for “Handbags for Hope”. These “bags” are then filled with personal hygiene items and distributed to ladies in shelters. Collecting a “bag” of personal hygiene products and donating to your local women’s shelter or food pantry is encouraged. Consider utilizing a Thrivent Action Team grant to make a larger impact in your community. The worship offering will be evenly split between Handbags for Hope, synod women’s organization and the church wide Women of the ELCA.

"As part of our exploration of stewardship in action, Christ the King will be offering a fall workday to our members and community on Saturday October 16 from 8 until noon. This will be a morning of working together to help those who need our hands and hearts to do work that might otherwise might be a struggle for them. We will be raking lawns, cleaning gutters and washing windows (on single story houses).
This is part two of our solicit... We will be looking for people that might need this help as well as many to provide the help. Please contact Jim Weyers at kings-tools@sbcglobal.net with both homeowners needing help as well as your willingness to work. This may well be a great opportunity for families to work together. Children with parents are welcome.
We will need the project houses identified by September 15th to allow for organization of materials and manpower ahead of the actual workday."
