2015 Rummage Sale

It's time! Time to clean out closets, shelves, garages, etc., and to let-go of all those things sitting around collecting dust at your house. The annual Family & Youth Team Rummage Sale is THIS Saturday, May 9th, from 8am-12pm.
The youth are receiving donations now through Friday - please bring your "stuff" and leave it in the social hall. Youth, parents, and other wonderful adults will begin sorting stuff tomorrow evening (5/6) from 6-8pm. They'll sort again on Thursday evening from 6-8pm, and again on Friday, from 6pm until the job is done. If you'd like to help, please just show up!
And THEN, please come back and shop at the sale - this year it looks like there are lots of kids' clothes, and there are always some hidden treasures. Mother's Day is this Sunday - maybe you'll find JUST the thing for a mom in your life!? Rummage Sale proceeds support CtK's ministries with and to youth and their families. This summer we're sending 6 youth and 2 adults to Detroit for the ELCA Youth Gathering. It's going to be great, but it's not an inexpensive proposition... Your support is much appreciated. Thanks for your generosity!

TRIVIA NIGHT!

This is going to be a GREAT event! Recruit a team and get signed up!
Trivia Night will run about two hours, and the game will be led by Challenge Entertainment-Montana (the same folks who do trivia at the Bacchus every Monday night!). Great prizes and bragging rights await!

PB&A - THANKS!

THANK YOU!
Many thanks to all involved for making CtK's Second Annual Potato Bar & Auction a huge success. $7757 was raised in support of CtK's Family & Youth Ministry!

Special thanks to those donated items to the auction, to those who purchased them, to potato bakers and food providers, and everyone who came out to enjoy one another and have a good time! Monies raised will help send six CtK high school youth and two adults to the 2015 ELCA Youth Gathering in Detroit, AND send CtK middle school youth to Christikon next summer.

The youth of CtK decided to tithe 10% of their PB&A receipts to the Freedom in Christ Prison Ministry in Deer Lodge. Freedom in Christ is in need of financial AND prayer support, and the youth are glad to help make a difference in the lives of prisoners and their families.

Rummage Sale tomorrow

It's time for the annual CtK Family & Youth Ministry Team Rummage Sale!
Members and friends of CtK have been dropping off all kinds of stuff all week (donations accepted through today!) - lots of new treasures!
The sale is tomorrow - see you here!

PB&A = Success! Thank You!

The first annual PB&A (Potato Bar & Auction) is in the history books, and was a great success.
The CtK Family & Youth Team (and all the youth and their families) want to say THANKS to the donors, the helpers, the eaters, the bidders... anyone and everyone who helped make the event not just a success ($2750 raised!) but also a ton of fun.

Thank you!!

The Beginning of a Great Tradition

It's gonna be great!!

The Family & Youth Ministry Team is launching what is hoped to be the "first annual" PB&A - a baked potato bar and silent auction. Come and eat all you want (suggested donation is $5/person)
and bid on some great items - lots of handmade and homemade gifts (perfect for Christmas gift-giving - things you can't find at the mall!), gift baskets, service items, gift certificates (weekend in a Big Sky condo, anyone?) and MORE!

All funds raised will support the Family & Youth Ministry of the congregation, especially summer 2014 camps for middle and high school youth.

Please invite your friends and neighbors to join you - this promises to be a great event!

Car Wash Tomorrow

Hope to see you tomorrow at the Car Wash! Help our youth start raising funds for this year's retreats, learning and service opportunities! (not to mention the summer 2012 big high school event!)

TODAY!

CAR WASH!

Let the youth wash your car! For $5 on Friday, July 1st, from 3:00-5:00pm in the Albertsons parking lot (in Bozeman), the CtK youth will wash your car- just in time for the holiday weekend!
Thanks for supporting the youth and all their ministries and activities!

Photos from Friday at the Cardboard Box City

A good time was had by all at the Family Promise Cardboard Box City on Friday night. And CtK participants even won some prizes - congratulations!

It's not too late to donate to Family Promise if you'd like to. Check out their website.

And a few more photos from the event:

Family Promise Cardboard Box City

A fabulous box from the 2009 Cardboard Box City

It's that time of year again: time to get a really big box, decorate it, collect pledges, and then sleep in your box at Bogert Park to raise money for Family Promise of Gallatin Valley. The Family Promise Cardboard Box City 2010 is coming Friday, September 24th, with set up beginning at 5pm, dinner at 6pm and the parade of boxes (for everyone, even if you're not spending the night) at 7pm. This event is not only a ton of fun and the biggest fund raiser for an amazing ministry to homeless families in our area, it's practically guaranteed to make you appreciate the roof over your head and the warm, comfortable bed you get to sleep in every night. Not bad, huh?

You can learn more at familypromisegv.org and pick up a brochure and money collection envelope here at CtK.

We'll be having a "Build Your Box" event here on Sunday evening, from 5-7pm. Bring your big box (fridge boxes work well) and decorating supplies, and join with other CtK folks to get ready for next Friday night!

Spaghetti Feed & Silent Auction

CtK is hosting a Spaghetti Feed & Silent Auction to benefit baby Shelby and her family. While she is growing stronger each day, Shelby remains in the NICU, after being born 16 weeks early back in April.
All funds raised will go to help the Ullom family with medical bills and other expenses resulting from Shelby's hospitilization and care.
Who could you invite to join you for this fun event? There will be lots of great items to bid on (photo sessions, salon services, a ton (literally!) of hay, lots of handmade arts and crafts, gift certificates to local businesses and more) and super tasty food to eat. A free will offering will be received at the door, how much do you think we can raise?
The Broadwater-Gallatin chapter #30546 of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will be matching funds up to $5000. How great would it be if we can send several thousand dollars to the Ulloms!?!

Benefit Auction August 29th

CtK is planning a spaghetti feed and silent auction on August 29th, 5-7pm, to benefit Shelby Ullom, daughter of Dan and Suzanne, who was born SUPER early in April and is still in the NICU. As you can imagine, it's been a tough time for everyone, and not inexpensive.

Do you have a skill, talent, product or service you might donate to the auction? Please call the church office at 587-4131 or pick up a donation form after worship on Sunday. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will be matching funds raised, and we're hoping to help out Shelby's family in a big way!

Would you like to learn more about Shelby's story? Check out her Caring Bridge site.


Thank you for supporting this sister in Christ with your donations and prayers!

Car Wash Success!

Thanks to all the drivers who brought their vehicles to get washed last Friday - over $300 was raised in three short hours. Wahoo!

This Sunday, July 11th, 7 youth and 2 adults will be commissioned for their upcoming mission trip to the Yakama Indian Reservation in Washington State. Don't miss it!

CAR WASH
