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

Hungry people don't care about a football game in February

On Sunday, January 6th a group of six volunteers from Christ the King served dinner to forty-five people at Bozeman Community Café, a cooperative hunger program run by Gallatin Valley Food Bank and area churches.
The café is located in the old Frontier Pies Restaurant at 302 North 7th in Bozeman. Customers are greeted at the door by a host. Once seated they are greeted by a server, who takes their beverage order and informs them of the meal choices available that evening. Once the order was taken by the server, the “scoopers” promptly plated the meal requested. The six volunteers, after all the customers were served, cleaned the restaurant in preparation for service the following day.
One of our strongest social outreach ministries is hunger relief. As a congregation we actively support the food bank and the ELCA World Hunger Appeal through a monthly offering. We also collect canned soup and boxed cereal for the food bank throughout the year.

Helping to staff Community Café as it serves hungry residents of Gallatin County is a natural fit to what we already do.


Christ the King is scheduled to serve at Bozeman Community Café on Sunday, February 3rd from 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. We already have three caring adult volunteers. We need four more people to help serve. If you are interested in volunteering, please see Pastor Grant
