News You Can Use

CtK’s Post-pandemic Opening

As CtK begins to open post-pandemic, we are calling on everyone to prayerfully consider how you might use your time and talents to help propel CtK forward in this new hybrid in-person/techno-based way of doing church. We have the technology. Now, we need YOU! Currently, we are seeking to fill ALL categories of worship volunteers:

• Altar Guild Assistants
• Worship Assistants
  • Ushers
  • Readers
  • Communion assistants
  • Soundboard/camera operators
  • Presentation computer operators
  • Online church host. This person would be basically acting as a “virtual greeter/online chat person” for worship services.

If you feel you might be interested in any of these volunteer positions and/or if you have any questions, please give Deacon Mandy a call (970-247-5310) or touch base with him between Sunday services. Training will be provided for all volunteers. Thanks for your consideration.

Habitat for Humanity – Many, Many Thanks!!!

A BIG thank you to all the guys and gals who turned out for the CtK Build Day in June in Bayfield.  In one capacity or another, this group included Larry Rardin, John Condie, Kim Hobby, Bev Dittmer, Jim May, Larry Hjermstad and Rap Fairley.  Between them and the other volunteers, they finished framing the interior walls on the 1st floor and began installing the floor joists for the 2nd floor in the west house.  Such talented people CtK has!  Everyone there had an excellent lunch, also provided by CtK.  Again, thank you one and all.  The two new Habitat Partners & families are that much closer to a new home!

Opportunities to Volunteer in Your Community

Alternative Horizons (Email: alternativehorizons.org)

Alternative Horizons has a 24/7/365 hotline.  We staff the hotline with volunteers.  Right now our numbers are down and we are in need of volunteers.  It takes 15 or more volunteer to fully staff the hotline.  Was wondering if there might be a chance for AH to talk with church members about the volunteer position. A lot of time with direct contact people get what they need to know about the volunteering more so than on a flyer.  Or maybe you could get an announcement in the Newsletter.  Really anything would help.  If an individual would just like to come and do the training, that would be fine too.  They would just have to let me know that they want to come. No commitment necessary.

For all events and activities, please check the CtK website for the most current updates.

Blessed with rain, CtKers enjoyed food and fellowship under the shelter of Chris Park pavilion on Sunday, June 26th. Thanks everyone for a fun camp out!
