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

Churchwide Assembly Preparations

Christ the King is one of more than 10,000 congregations of our church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Just as synods (we're part of the Montana Synod) meet in assembly every year, the whole ELCA gathers every other year in Churchwide Assembly. It happens this year in August in Minneapolis. Ever wondered what happens at a Churchwide Assembly? Curious what the hot topics will be this year? Check out the 2009 Churchwide Assembly Update.
