News You Can Use

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.

The Altar Guild and Piecemakers quilting group are pleased to present new paraments to the congregation beginning with the Tree of Life for the Days After Pentecost season.  The Tree of Life growing from the Father’s creating hands recalls the tree of life in the Garden of Eden, (Genesis 1:9).  It also recalls the tree made into a cross on which Jesus was crucified. By His death our sins are forgiven and we receive new life in Him.  The words,”Behold, come be made new” recall Revelations 21:5 where John writes of his vision of a new heaven and earth and God proclaims, “I am making all things new.”

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

Our Many Thanks to Pastor Karen & Diego for visiting in October!
