MUSIC NOTES FOR HOLY WEEK

"This is the Feast of Victory for Our God"

For many weeks, musicians from in and outside our church community have been planning and preparing the music for Holy Week. beginning with the Sunday of the Passion, also known as Palm Sunday, and culminating with the great feast of Easter. Here's what to expect and look forward to as we worship together in person or online.

Holy Thursday - Vocalists, Katie Ellenberg, frequent soloist at churches in the area, and Marty Tyksinki will lead us in song as we remember Christ's last meal with his disciples.

Good Friday - Our CTK Sanctuary choir will lead us in sung prayer and move us to prayer and with a couple of beautiful settings of the solemn Good Friday hymns. 

Easter Sunday - Katherine Wilhelm, a trumpet player from Mukwonago High School, will add a triumphant sound to our hymns. The CTK Sanctuary Choir and CTK Handbell Ensemble will join us. Youth members, Brynn Udovich and Peyon Goetz, will sing alongside our choir and percussionist, Bryce Udovich, will join us on a special anthem to celebrate the day. (This invitation is open to other youth, but please contact our music director asap for materials)

Thank you to all who contributed to the Easter Garden.

 Comfort for All

At Christ The King, we want our worship service services to be accessible and comfortable for everyone. Recently we learned that we need to provide armchairs in the upper sanctuary to assist people in standing up from a seated position. The armchairs we have placed in the upper sanctuary will meet that purpose! As you can see in this photo, Marlis Porteen is able to elevate her casted leg during the service and then more easily stand up when the service is finished. Her sister, Eileen, is next to her ready to assist if needed!

Paul Neumiller is able to provide hearing assistance for those who request that service. Paul is also able to aid those with hearing aids with a downloadable app for smartphones!

Soon, we plan to make wheelchair seating available in the front of the third section of pews. This will enable those individuals easier visibility, audibility and immediate access to communion. This helps the families and caregivers as well as those serving communion!

Children are welcome in our sanctuary! Therefore we are developing a plan to create an area that will best serve families with young children. Watch for more news on that front!

We continue to look for ways to make our services inclusive for all. Contact members of the Worship and Music team with your thoughts!
