Scripture Readings
April 11th: the Second Sunday of Easter
|
|
In the reading from Acts for this Second Sunday of Easter, we find not so much a blueprint for the perfect church, but rather a witness to God’s desire for us to live as a community of resurrection and new life. Community is not just our hope, it is the center of God’s character. Community is a matter of life and death.
Readings: John 20:19-31 // Acts 4:32-37

Share Your Holy Week & Easter Photos
|
|
|
Holy Week and Easter Sunday celebrations looked a little different this year. Still, we were gathered and held by God when we worshiped in person and across our screens. To capture this unique year and our many experiences of worship, we want to collect your photos from Holy Week and Easter services.
Please email your photos - either from in-person worship gatherings or your worship at home - to magdalena@lifeatctk.org
Stay tuned for these images to brighten our website, newsletter, and other forums!

Community Garden Space Available
|
|
Spring is here and the Community Garden is about to begin its new year!
We have two spaces (each 10' x 10’) available for new gardeners. There is no charge for the space, but we ask that you work alongside the community gardeners at least twice a month. The group typically meets one night a week (approximately 1 1/2 hours depending on size of the group) from mid-May until late September for maintaining the garden plots, other maintenance as needed, planting and harvesting, clean-up at end of season. We create lasting friendships as we work to serve our neighbors!
If you are interested in having a plot or just interested in working with the group, email (trish-blomquist@comcast.net). We look forward to you being part of the community garden volunteers!
