We are currently in talks with Rainbow Trail Lutheran Camp to use their “Day Camp at Home” program this summer. Details are still being ironed out… but it sounds like our kids will have a free resource of songs, skits, Bible Study, and Arts & Crafts this summer!
I’ll keep you posted on how you can help; but that’s all the news I have for now!

Pastor Tim and our staff continue to amaze us with their creativity and timeless efforts to keep us connected in this virtual world we are currently experiencing. We all are looking forward to the time when we can worship and have fellowship with each other in person. Until that time comes, please continue to join us for online worship and fellowship. And on Sunday afternoons, Pastor Tim offers in-person Holy Communion.
You are also invited to join us for our VIRTUAL semi-annual meeting this Sunday, May 31st immediately following the 9:15am virtual worship. We’ll begin the meeting at around 10am. You can stay connected by zooming in using the links listed below.

You and your voice are needed at this meeting! We will have an important vote requesting the congregation to empower the Church Council to move forward in signing a lease with potential tenants for the Garden Suites space. Several CtK’ers are also needed to serve on Church Council and the Mission Endowment Board, so please prayerfully consider being an important member of one or both of these ministries. Thank you.
Holly Landgren
CtK Council President
Summertime at CtK has always brought about a different tempo. Whereas the academic year (September thru May) is usually full of meetings and events, summer normally sees only a few big events as people are away traveling, or hiking, or fishing, or gardening, or…
This year, things will be a little different, I think. There may indeed be some travel that people are able to do, but for the most part I imagine many people will stick around home. Lots of typical vacation destinations are still closed or only partially open, anyway. So, let me assure you that as you begin your summertime plans that – whether you are at home or venturing away for the first time in months – that CtK and its ministries will be continuing. Online worship services will continue. Online Bible studies and fellowship groups will continue. Online M-Team meetings will continue. And these are things you can access from anywhere, so long as you have WiFi or cell phone reception and a data plan.
Please also be assured that the CtK staff, Council and I are addressing what the future of in-person events and meetings might look like at CtK. The date for those in-person events is still unknown, but in the meantime there are many things that we will need to change or adapt regarding our physical space to keep people as safe as possible. I will keep you all posted as more information becomes available about the resumption of in-person events.
I appreciate all of your flexibility, patience, humor, and grace during these months. I’m grateful to have such a wonderful congregation to accompany me through these wildly extraordinary times.
Peace,
Pastor Tim
