CtK Piecemaker Quilters
The Piecemaker Quilters would like to invite all those interested in quilting (or wanting to learn how to quilt) to join us. We’ve had two of our Piecemakers recently relocate out of state and would welcome your participation. You’ll find us a warm and accepting group who makes quilts for baptisms, the sick and elderly, as well as for various mission projects for those in need here at home and abroad. If you would like more information, please give Judy Danielson a call at the Durango Quilt Company: 970-247-2582. The Piecemakers regularly meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month from 9:30 am until 2:00 pm in the CtK Community Hall. We look forward to seeing you!

The CtK Book Club meets on the second Thursday of each month at 3:00 pm in the CtK Library. Our next meeting is on Thursday, June 13th, and our discussion will be about the book, “In the Midst of Winter” by Isabel Allende. Our monthly reads through November are as follows: July 11th — “Dear Bob & Sue” by Karen Smith and Matt Smith; August 8th – “Force of Nature” by Jane Harper; September 12th – “Where Crawdads Sing” by Delia Owens; October 10th – “Light on Snow” by Anita Shreve; and on November 14th – “Educated” by Tara Westover.
Remember, you are invited to drop in at any time and join us for some lively and enriching literary discussions—new members are always warmly welcomed! Please contact Stella Welcher for more information at 970-903-9327.

Thank you so much for purchasing Eco-Palms for your congregation this year! When you purchase Eco-Palms, the harvesters are paid a fair wage, and you help protect important forests and sustainable livelihoods in the harvesting communities. That’s good news!
Unfortunately, we know that many of you received palms that were in poor shape this year, and we apologize for that. We are working with our partners in Eco-Palms, the University of Minnesota Center for Integrated Natural Resources & Agricultural Management as well as the florist who ships the palms, to ensure there are better quality control plans in place for next year!
We are so grateful for your support, and we hope you’ll give Eco-Palms another chance in 2020.
In Gratitude,

Dear CtK Friends,
How do we begin to express how VERY GRATEFUL we are for ALL your kindness after our home was flooded on Feb. 14?? We are humbled by your outpouring of love and concern and generosity. We are absolutely blessed to be part of such a caring community of good folks!
PLEASE KNOW we thank each of you from the depths of our hearts. Your prayers and gifts and calls and cards and texts and emails literally “kept us afloat!” (Yes, pun intended.)
Especially those prayers!!! We know your prayers kept us positive through this whole ordeal.
For now………repairs to our home are finally nearing completion; just tile and some painting left. We passed the County’s final inspection (YAHOO!!), so we are starting to move back in. (Next is sorting through all our stuff in four storage units!) After living in the motel for five weeks; then in a travel trailer for six weeks, we’re ready to be home.
Again, MANY, MANY thanks for all your support! You all are the BEST! Thanks be to God!!!
Much love,
Laura and Kip Stransky
