March 2021 – Youth Group News

March 2021 – Youth Group News

Thank you CtK!

The Silent Auction raised $1144 for the Youth Gathering! Everyone who bid is downright amazing.

Trivia Night was also tons of fun – we might just do it again, so be on the lookout for that.

Congrats to David Smith who was the first to respond with the correct number of otters (3) on the Silent Auction page!

Other fundraising ideas the Youth have is a concert, bake sale, another auction (live or silent, depending). If you would like to create a Thrivent Action Team toward helping the Youth purchase prizes or ingredients or goods for auction, please email Mandy and she and the Youth will contact you.

As always, you can simply donate money to the youth on the Youth Page.

You can be a part of planning a fundraiser, you can give money, you can hire the Youth to do an Odd Job for you! Get in touch today: CtK Youth Fundraiser! Woo Hoo!

March 2021 – Faith Formation

March 2021 – Faith Formation

Join with your CtK Family of Faith for this year’s Congregational Lenten Project.

As a Congregation, this Lent we’re working together to create a drive-through Good Friday Worship service.

Each week we’ll consider a phrase from the Solemn Reproaches and respond to them in a visual ways. This could be pictures you take and email. It could be drawn or painted on canvas, napkin, or some other medium. It could be sculpture. It could be something you build.

It cannot be audio or video, or anything that could get damaged outside for 4 hours.

Submissions are due each Tuesday; click to view the phrases and submit.

CtK staff will put all of each week’s submissions together as a “station” that the whole congregation will have the opportunity to visit – in their cars (or online) with provided audio – on Good Friday, April 2, 2021.

Below you will find phrases for each week. Think on them. Feel them. Have a knee-jerk reaction or do further research, but either way, create as the Spirit leads. Biblical citations are included (simply click on the phrase), but they are by no means comprehensive.

Try not to “work ahead”, just take each week as it comes, prayerfully and thoughtfully.
