The Annunciation of Our Lord (March 25)

Dear Lord, today we celebrate Your presence with Mary. The angel Gabriel's news of her role in Your plan for salvation was unexpected. Yet she responded with the faith that only You can impart and allowed her life to be arranged according to Your will. Empower us with that same faith to overcome any fear and trust Your promise of a future more glorious than we can imagine. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Donuts and Coffee  

Volunteer sign-up sheet is next to the kitchen for anyone who would like to help with this service. The more families we have in rotation, the fewer turns you'll have! It's a fairly simple process which just takes a little extra time on Sunday mornings. Brenda and Leroy Ellis, Ed and Bev Wise, Dale and Kathy Frank, Chris and Paige Bacon and Andy and Amber Schroeder are some folks who can tell you how it works. Thank you in advance for your kind help with this service to us all.

Become a Supporting Congregation of Luther Classical College

Why now? Conservative Lutherans have been asking for a classical Lutheran college for decades. And though classical colleges have popped up all around the country and have been very successful, not one has been Lutheran.

As American culture continues to slide, we need a college that purposefully emphasizes and instills Christian culture throughout its curriculum.

Given the political climate in our country, we need a college that does not depend on federal funds and which is still affordable for our youth.

Why congregations? Luther Classical College exists to educate young men and women for congregational life, so that they graduate eager to support their local congregations and raise their families in the church.

We believe direct congregational support and involvement will help keep the college Lutheran and focused on its goal, which is to strengthen our congregations with committed Lutheran families.

At Christ the King there are many ways you can joyfully serve, grow in grace, and make new friends in Christ! 
Opportunities for Ushers, Choir, Altar Guild 
and Welcome Committee are all available.
