Weekly Announcements

NEW SERVICE TIMES: At the last Board of Elders meeting, the elders decided to move worship times starting in January 2027 to 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. The switch will either happen on the 3rd or 10th. Stay tuned for more information.

TRUNK-OR-TREAT: Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who made Trunk or Treat such a successful event!  From fun trunks, to games, and a yummy meal, over 75 kids and their families enjoyed a fun afternoon because of the generosity of our members! 

STEWARDSHIP: We celebrate our last Stewardship Sunday on November 8th which is also Commitment Sunday. Please prayerfully consider how the Lord wishes you to share your financial resources, time and talents with the church for the coming year. Write them down on the commitment card and bring them to the church on that Sunday to be blessed at the altar. You will receive your unopened commitment card back next October where you can open it and see how you have fulfilled your vows over the year.

LWML INFORMATION MEETING: All women are invited to a gathering on Monday, November 2nd at 5:30 to learn more about LWML (Lutheran Women's Missionary League) and the possibility of starting a group here at CTK. It will include a meal, information about LWML, and a servant event. Childcare and transportation will be provided if needed. All confirmed women post high school age are encouraged to attend. All women should have received an invitation by mail or in their mailbox if they have one. In the envelope is a stamped RSVP postcard for everyone to return by October 20th. IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVITATION OR WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE LET PATTI THIES KNOW AT 515-723-1926 OR epthies72@gmail.com. This will not be a joining or commitment meeting so please prayerfully consider attending. Hope to see you there!
