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

Bring Soup to Worship on Sunday!

This Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday, but it's also the SOUPER BOWL OF CARING! The Family & Youth ministry of CtK encourages EVERYONE to bring a can of soup (or several!) with them to worship this week - the goal is to collect 300 cans of soup and $300 in the "soup pot offering" for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank!
Middle School and High School youth will be participating in a lock-in and famine from Friday-Saturday, going 30 hours without food to learn about what it's like to go hungry. There will be games, guest speakers, Bible study, worship, hunger awareness activities and lots of water for drinking! The event concludes with a potluck feast to break the fast at 6pm on Saturday. All are welcome to join in for dinner - just bring a dish to share.
And please be sure to pray for the youth and adults participating in the famine - ask them about their experience on Sunday!
