Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Rising to the Challenge

We are close. We are SO close.

Every August-September Christ the King collects boxes of cereal to help hungry people who visit the Gallatin County Food Bank.

Last year we collected 200 boxes within two months.

This year we are SO close in meeting that total, and exceeding it.

Last year, Christ the King gave over $5800 to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal.
As of August 31,2009 we have collected over $4800. We are within $1000 of matching last year's total. I am confident we can surpass it.

You as a congregation have been so generous in your gifts of food and money to support hunger programs both here in Bozeman and globally.

Friends, we are SO close. Keep up the good work, for the sake of the hungry in our midst.
