We have room for a total of 25 CtK’ers to go spend a lovely 4 days at NELM in Rock Point, AZ. The dates are July 25-28. All ages are welcome! The CtK Youth do have first dibs, though, as this trip replaces the canceled Youth Gathering (same dates and all!). But this is a terrific chance for our Youth and congregants of all ages to grow closer to one another in faith, hope, and love.
Email Deacon Mandy if you have questions or if you want to go!
CtK is extremely proud of all of our Youth, and when they are recognized for excellent outside the walls of the church we cannot contain our joy!
Our own Matt Pane is a recipient of the 2022 Daniels Fund Scholarship!
“The Daniels Scholarship Program provides the opportunity for highly motivated students to earn a bachelor’s degree that helps them build a successful career and rewarding life. Daniels Scholars® demonstrate exceptional character, leadership, and a commitment to serving their communities. Bill Daniels would also want his scholars to be proud Americans who value our free enterprise system and are prepared to give the world their very best shot.
“The Daniels Scholarship Program offers a four-year college scholarship that provides financial and personal support focused on helping Daniels Scholars succeed in college, and in life. The Daniels Scholarship can be used at any accredited nonprofit college or university in the United States. Our goal is not only to help Daniels Scholars succeed in college, but to ensure that they thrive beyond their years in college.
“Every year, Daniels Scholars are selected from our four-state region of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Daniels Scholars have attended more than 400 colleges and universities in 48 states.
“Through March 2021, the Daniels Scholarship Program has provided more than $220 million in undergraduate scholarships to approximately 4,600 students.
“Daniels Scholars are selected because they embody the criteria Bill Daniels defined for the program:
“Bill Daniels would also want his scholars to uphold the values that meant so much to him. Those values include ethics and integrity, honesty, respect for people, loyalty and reliability, entrepreneurial spirit, patriotism and dedication to community, commitment to excellence, and etiquette.”

Congratulations, Matt! And congratulations to your dad, Paul, as well!
After much prayer, conversation and tears, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2022 Gathering, MYLE and the tAble due to the ongoing pandemic, the recent COVID-19 surge and public health considerations.
We know there are thousands of young people who will not get to experience the Gathering, and our hearts break for them. This was not an easy decision, and we ask for your prayers and your grace. We understand the impact this decision will have on our youth, volunteers and planning teams, and we hope to return to Minneapolis for a future Gathering.
Registered congregations can visit their registration accounts starting Monday, Feb. 7, to select their desired refund option.
With God’s power at work in and through us, we can do far more than we dare ask or imagine! The ELCA is fully committed to supporting the young people of our church and to seeing that the ministry of the Gathering, MYLE and the tAble continue for years to come. With that assurance, we are turning our attention toward 2024 for the next Gathering. Stay tuned to Gathering communications for a location announcement this summer.
Grace and peace.
Anyone over the age of 13 is welcome to join the Youth for a fun-filled movie night on Friday, February 18th, from 6pm until the movie ends. We’ll have typical movie snacks and drinks – and we’ll always eat whatever goodies anyone happens to bring.
What’s the movie, you ask? Well, that’s up for discussion.
Remember the question Pastor asked during Community Building on January 23rd? He asked: Name a (book or) movie that has shaped the way you understand God. Well, we want to know your answers to help us choose what to watch! Suggestions must be PG-13, PG, or G rated. Use the form below to throw your suggestion into the hat!
