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

Commitment Weekend - BRUNCH SERVED!

This weekend, during worship this evening and tomorrow morning, members and friends of Christ the King Lutheran Church will be invited to fill out a commitment card indicating their estimate of giving for 2012, as well as a 3-year commitment toward the Rooted in Faith, Growing in Giving campaign. These are exciting times!
As I write, there are folks gathered in the sanctuary for the prayer vigil - I'll be joining them shortly. I know others are praying from various other locales today. We trust that the Holy Spirit will be leading and guiding us in our giving and in our life together.
Need one more reason (in addition to the fact that it's All Saints Sunday and there will be opportunities to thank God for and remember the saints in our lives) to come to worship tomorrow? Following worship, brunch will be served! Pancakes, eggs, ham, juice, coffee: YUM!!
Even if you don't feel called to make a giving commitment, come and celebrate what God is doing among us and join the fellowship around the table!

* If you have a child who received a Rooted in Faith, Growing in Giving bank back at the beginning of the campaign, please make sure s/he brings it to worship this weekend. Thanks!
