Here's a slideshow of pictures from VBS 2012 at CtK. It was a great week! (Sorry some are upside down - they're all right in my photo album, but Picasa turned them on their heads!)

VBS & The Pancake Buffet
We're in the middle of a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School. Our theme this year is Splash in God's Word, and each day students are learning great, water-filled, Bible stories. Pictures will be posted at the end of the week...
The end-of-VBS tradition continues with a Pancake Buffet following worship THIS SUNDAY, August 5th. The Learn Ministry Team will provide the pancakes - bring a favorite topping to share! Berries, a variety of syrups, sprinkles, whipped cream, etc., have all proven popular in the past. What's your favorite?

BBQ and Campout
This is becoming an annual tradition you don't want to miss! And, this year the weather promises to be warmer and hopefully not quite as damp as last year!
Members and friends of CtK are invited to bring something to grill and a dish to share. The Family & Youth Team will provide fixin's for s'mores. There will be a fire pit for marshmallow roasting and to tell stories around.
Bring your lawn chair, tent, sleeping bag and overnight gear. In the morning there will be cereal for breakfast, and participants will be up in time to join in Family/Intergenerational Sunday School at 9am and worship at 10am.
See you on the lawn!

Biblical studies tool
A resource I have been using to help me prepare for the preaching series on Ephesians this summer is Luther Seminary’s Enter the Bible website. It is chock full of information on each book of the Bible. Each book is summarized by a seminary professor and includes such things as main themes, an outline, theological issues, and historical data.
You can find the website at http://www.enterthebible.org/
Happy learning!

Something good came out of Billings...
Last week I attended the Montana Synod Assembly in Billings. One of our guest speakers, who is leading the churchwide effort to eliminate malaria, shared a Franciscan blessing.
Indeed, something good came out of Billings.
Four-Fold Franciscan Blessing
May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart.
May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people.
May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.
May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really can make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God's grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.
