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

Souper Bowl of Caring

CtK youth and adults are gearing up for the Souper Bowl of Caring Famine and Lock-In this weekend. Students will go without food for close to 30 hours, to be reminded of what it's like to be hungry, and to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who go without food on a regular basis.
They will work on some service projects, including assembling school kits for Lutheran World Relief, creating items for a couple of upcoming auctions, and helping lead worship this weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
EVERYONE is invited to help them break their fast, at a potluck meal at 6:30pm this Saturday, February 4th. Bring a dish to share and ask to hear the stories of the day. If you want, join in the fast from home, and donate all the money you would have spent on food for the day to the Souper Bowl of Caring offering for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank this weekend.
If you're able, please also bring a can of soup or two to add to the growing offering here at CtK. There are over 250 cans of soup piled high so far - with your help it shouldn't be too hard to reach our goal of 312 cans and $312!!
