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

EVENTS THIS SUNDAY

There will be only one service of worship this Sunday, January 25th, at 9:30am. Following worship we'll enjoy a SHORT coffee break, provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. At 10:45am we'll convene the Annual Meeting of the Congregation. And it should be pretty fun. Yes, we'll do some of the usual "business" of the congregation - electing some new leaders to serve on the church council, voting members for Synod Assembly, etc.. And we will review last year's spending plan and approve a new spending plan for 2009. More than anything, though, we will celebrate how God has been working among and through us here at CtK in the last year, and make plans to continue our mission and ministry for the year ahead. FUN!


Following the meeting is the Annual Chili Cook-Off and Potluck - lots of folks are signed up already. If you haven't signed up, don't panic - just SHOW UP! There will be lots of chili and we need lots of judges to decide whose is best.

See you Sunday!
