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

BBQ and Campout

This is becoming an annual tradition you don't want to miss! And, this year the weather promises to be warmer and hopefully not quite as damp as last year!

Members and friends of CtK are invited to bring something to grill and a dish to share. The Family & Youth Team will provide fixin's for s'mores. There will be a fire pit for marshmallow roasting and to tell stories around.

Bring your lawn chair, tent, sleeping bag and overnight gear. In the morning there will be cereal for breakfast, and participants will be up in time to join in Family/Intergenerational Sunday School at 9am and worship at 10am.

See you on the lawn!

Biblical studies tool

A resource I have been using to help me prepare for the preaching series on Ephesians this summer is Luther Seminary’s Enter the Bible website. It is chock full of information on each book of the Bible. Each book is summarized by a seminary professor and includes such things as main themes, an outline, theological issues, and historical data.


You can find the website at http://www.enterthebible.org/



Happy learning!
