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

A thousand thank yous!



Last Sunday during the "Blessed to be a Blessing" distribution of funds, Dawn Byrd made an appeal to join her in supporting and volunteering at the Bozeman Community Café. The café serves a hot meal every evening to residents of Gallatin County who are in need of food assistance. Christ the King serves dinner at the café on the first Sunday of the month. Our next host date is May 5, 2013.

Dawn informed me this morning that she received $900 from nine households of the congregation.
Dawn's contribution plus the $900 received adds up to $1000.

A thousand thank yous goes out to the ten households who decided to give their "Blessed to be a Blessing" 100 dollar bill to Bozeman Community Café.

Many of you who gave have volunteered at the café before. Half of you who gave are new volunteers.

Your gift of money plus volunteer hours will help Christ the King stand in partnership with the Gallatin Valley Food Bank in addressing hunger here in the Gallatin Valley.
