Deacon Mandy taking time off

I will be gone from July 15-August 15 with no access to text, phone, or email.

CtK Council has a to-do list of things I usually do that can’t go un-done for a month. If you’d like to help out, please speak wth Pastor Tim, CtK Staff or Council Member.

Why am I taking this time off?

Meister Eckhart said it best:

All beings

are words of God,

God’s music, God’s

art.

Sacred books we are, for the infinite camps

in our

souls.

Every act reveals God and expands God’s being.

I know that may be hard

to comprehend.

All creatures are doing their best

to help God in God’s birth

of God’s self.

Enough talk for the night.

God is laboring in me;

I need to be silent

for a while,

worlds are forming

In my heart.

See you soon.

Love,

Deacon Mandy

Save the MULTIPLE Dates!

SUNDAY, MAY 19 – High School Senior Appreciation: CtK’s 2 High School graduates, Lana Bodewes and Maggie Gardner, will be lifted up during worship at 9:30am. After, at about 10:30am, The Youth will gather in the Community Hall to spend time together and eat some goodies. Please, adults, come in to say “hi” or a word of encouragement to these lovely young women. (Youth Parents, pick-up will be no later than 12 noon, please).

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12 – New Wine Church Tour returns to Durango! Remember in 2022, when they brought us a production of BRIGHT STAR? And the Youth fed them pizza before the FREE performance, and then you, the congregation, brought desserts to share after the show? And remember the show was FREE and it was really, really good? And that anyone in the community can attend on June 12th at 7pm (so tell your friends & neighbors)? Well, it’s all happening again – but this time the show is GODSPELL. The big tour bus will show up sometime on Wednesday, June 12 – I’ll let you know when they tell me. CtK Youth will meet them here and we’ll have dinner together. Then you – the congregation and community members – will come to the show at 7pm and after we’ll all share the desserts that you – the congregation –  brought and get to know these fine youth performers from Minnesota.

SUNDAY, JULY 7 – All snacks and supplies must be at CtK by this date, because DAY CAMP 2024 is Monday, July 8 – Thursday, July 11! Can you help support Day Camp with a donation of snacks & supplies?  Find the Wal-Mart and Oriental Trading wish lists by clicking here.  Want to donate money? Use your credit card to donate to the Day Camp Fund here. You can also put a check in the offering plate (Day Camp 2024 in the memo line), or you can give Deacon Mandy cash, which she will label and put in the safe for deposit. Thank you so much!
