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

Pedal for Peas

Cyclists from around the Montana Synod will be joining together for "Pedal for Peas" - a 160-mile bike ride to raise awareness of, and funds for, ELCA World Hunger ministries.
Two members of CtK will be riding, and we will be participating as a congregation by providing a staggered lunch for the riders after the last leg of their trip. We'll be offering lunch on Thursday, July 3rd, from 11:00am until 4:00pm.
Want to help? Contact the church office.
Want to donate? Put a check made out to "CtK," with "Pedal for Peas" in the memo line, in the offering plate this Sunday. Thanks!
Want more information on the whole thing? Check out this site (Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church in Helena).

Want to ride your bike with others? Join the new-ish CtK small group that gathers to ride for a couple of hours on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays each month. Meet in the CtK parking lot (bring your bike, helmet, water bottle, etc.) THIS SATURDAY, June 28th at 9:00am. The group will return about 11:00am.

Happy cycling!

Family Promise coming to CtK in Nine Days!

Each summer, we are privileged to have the opportunity to serve homeless families in our area, by hosting Family Promise. Our host dates this year are June 15th-19th and July 13th-27th. There are lots of ways to serve - making dinner, spending the night, doing laundry, praying for our guests...
Volunteers involved in "direct service" to guests are asked to attend a volunteer orientation before signing up (you can sign up to do laundry or pray without attending), and the next training is coming up soon:

Family Promise is once again hosting a New Volunteer Orientation for those interested in doing direct service with our families. The training will be held on Thursday, June 26, 2014, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in the Small Conference Room at the Bozeman Public Library.  
This training covers the basics of working with Family Promise: what is an Interfaith Hospitality Network, how it operates, where our families come from, as well as how to help in ways that make a real impact. The training is free but reservations are recommended. Please call 406-582-7388 or send an email to lprindiville@familypromisegv.org. Feel free to share this information with other people you know who would make great Family Promise volunteers.
