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

Cereal drive update

‘If you really fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.’ James 2:8

As of September 11th we have collected eighty boxes/bags of cereal for the cereal drive benefitting the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.

Our goal is 325 boxes/bags collected. We have reached twenty percent of our goal.

We will keep you posted as to the number of boxes/bags collected. Imagine a tower of cereal, given to the food bank, to be placed in the hands of hungry people here in the Gallatin Valley. Together we can fulfill the Great Commandment to love neighbor as we love ourselves.

2012 Cereal Drive is underway

The 2012 Cereal Drive for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank is underway at Christ the King.

As of today we have collected thirty-eight boxes/bags of cereal. That's more than ten percent of our set goal of 325 boxes/bags to be collected.

Your generous contributions will help feed hungry people in Bozeman and in the Gallatin Valley. The food bank has seen a ten percent increase of people using its resources over last year.

If you have a well stocked pantry at home, as well as a stuffed freezer, consider not purchasing additional items for those food storage areas and consider making a gift to the food bank.

We will keep you posted on our progress of making the set goal of 325 boxes/bags of cereal.
