Day of Service

Tomorrow, September 13th, is God's work. Our hands. Day of Service. Everyone who worships with CtK tomorrow morning (worship is at 10:00am and will include an opportunity to hear from the youth who went to Detroit for the ELCA Youth Gathering this summer) will be invited to stick around to help assemble school kits for Lutheran World Relief or decorate cookies and assemble boxes of treats for those who protect and serve our community (first responders, hospital employees, etc.). We'll need a few folks to make deliveries of treats, too.
Would you rather spend some time serving outside? There will be a group heading to God's Garden to pick green beans. Wear your sunscreen and take a water bottle!

What a privilege it is to serve in God's world!

Share the Harvest this coming Sunday

Share the bounty of your garden on Sunday, September 4th after worship.

We’ll have a green salad “starter’ present. Bring peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, onions, peas, beans, and other tasty vegetables and fruits to share with your fellow members and friends of Christ the King.

Bring extra produce to put on a provided table to share.

If your household has a hard time putting food on the table, bring an empty sack and take home some of the bounty that will be present.

“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His mercy endures forever!”

Hungry people are fed

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
those he redeemed from trouble
and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.

Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to an inhabited town;
hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress;
he led them by a straight way,
until they reached an inhabited town.
Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
For he satisfies the thirsty,
and the hungry he fills with good things.
Psalm 107:1-9

Ron Hanson, our master gardener here at Christ the King informed me this morning that he had harvested giant peas and string beans for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.
If you are interested in helping Ron with the garden, please contact him. I know he would appreciate the help, especially now that produce is ready for harvest.
Praise the Lord! For he satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry he fills with good things.

CtK Garden Goodies

Check out this great photo of the first produce from the CtK garden delivered to the Gallatin Valley Food Bank yesterday. Many thanks to Ron Hanson for his work in the garden and for delivering the food (48 pounds so far!) to the food bank. If you haven't checked the garden out, stop by this week, or go peek on Sunday!

How are your thumbs?

Do you have a green thumb? Even just a little? Do you aspire to green-thumb-ness? Then we have a job for you!

The CtK garden is growing like gang-busters. Unfortunately, so are the weeds! Do you have a few minutes to stop by and do a little weeding? No need to sign up, just show up!

Thanks!

Also needed for the garden: chicken wire. Have some to donate? Please call the church office at 587-4131.
