Serving Our Neighbors
Brighten the Holiday for a Child in Need
Christ the King is participating in the Reach Out Lakota Holiday Gift Program through Faith Alliance. You are invited to take a gift tag from the Gathering Area and bring an unwrapped gift back to church by Sunday, Nov. 30. Gifts can range from $30-50. If shopping is not your thing, you can make a donation online directly to Reach Out Lakota. For more information, contact Susan. Advent Outreach: ELCA Good Gifts As we prepare for the arrival of Jesus, our hearts turn to the needs of others. This year during Advent, CtK Is gathering gifts to purchase a community garden through ELCA Good Gifts. Start with a shared plot of land and good soil, add drought-resistant seeds and top it off with tools and training. The result? Plenty of tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, beans, cassava and other vegetables to go around. With Good Gifts, nearly 90% of your gift directly supports these programs; a little more than 10% of your gifts are used for administration and fundraising. To give, pick up an envelope in the Gathering Area, make out your check to Christ the King, mark “Good Gifts” on your check, and place it in the offering plate. Or give directly to Good Gifts here. For more information, contact Susan. |
You are invited to participate in ministry to those outside our congregation.
