Our Mission Statement

As a committed body of Christ, we will gather for worship,

grow in faith, evangelize the Gospel, serve others,

and care for one another in authentic community.

Remember!

 

One Congregation – One Month – One Service

 

Remember – for the 5 Sundays of August, we will be having one worship service – 9:30am.

 

Next Sunday, July 25th, and then beginning again September 5th, services will be at the usual times of 8:30 and 11:00am.

 

 

Call Committee

The Call Committee has completed the “Ministry Profile” for our church.  This profile is an important and very comprehensive document based upon a template developed by the ELCA.  It is intended to help a congregation describe itself and to identify what is most important to us.  The Synod uses this profile to help identify good pastoral candidates.  The profile is available here and copies will also be available in the Narthex. 

 

 

The following members are serving on the Call Committee: Mitchell Kiffe (chair), Ryan Anderson, Louise Babirak, Mark Baker, Greg Maxwell, Lynne Simmons and Liz Spoto.  Following the update provided by the call committee at the Annual Congregational Meeting last Sunday, members of the call committee will be holding informal meetings in Katie’s Kitchen between services – from 9:45 to 10:45am – on the three consecutive Sundays of March 7, 14 & 21, when they will be available to discuss the call process.  These meetings will be very informal - please attend!

The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

July 18

Bulletin Highlights

 

Welcome to Our Service of Worship

 The Time after Pentecost is a teaching time, a growing time, in the life of the church.  To that end we gather with the whole people of God to be instructed by the Word and nourished by the Lord’s Supper.  Perhaps the church, at its best, is "all ears."  Almighty God urges the faithful, again and again, to "listen up!"—to heed the word from above.  So it was with Abraham and Sarah, with Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae.  So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the words of life.  Today again, we are given the opportunity to – “listen up”!

 

We are grateful to all visitors who have chosen to worship with us this day.  We thank you for the prayers brought and for the witness made to the world by being in the Lord’s house.  We invite you to worship with us again; our church family will always welcome you.  If you are looking for a church home in this area, you may indicate that on the Response Sheet.

 

All who seek God and a deeper life in Christ are welcome to participate in Holy Communion.  Those who have not received instruction are invited forward for a blessing.  Intinction is used – the wafer is retained and touched lightly to the wine.  The 1st chalice is wine, the 2nd unfermented grape juice.  Gluten-free wafers are available at the communing station on the pulpit side.

 

 

PRACTICE YOUR SMILE

THE PHOTOGRAPHER IS COMING!!

We are excited to announce that we have contracted with Olan Mills to produce a new pictorial directory of all our families.  Our photography will take place at the church on the following days and times:

Thursday, July 29, from 2:00 to 9:30 pm

Friday, July 30, from 2:00 to 9:30 pm

Saturday, July 31, from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm

 

Tuesday, August 31, from 2:00 to 9:30 pm

Wednesday, September 1, from 2:00 to 9:30 pm

 

Please make an appointment that suits your family’s schedule.  If you are available during the afternoon, please consider one of those appointment time.  You will be photographed and see your proofs immediately.  Sign-up sheets will be available at the church for your convenience from June 27 through July 18.  After that date, all families who have not made an appointment will be contacted by phone to help them set a convenient time and date.  Everyone who has made an appointment will receive a reminder call the day before their appointment to help make sure the appointment is not forgotten.

 

We are counting on everyone to participate so our directory will be complete and useful both for existing members and especially for those who join us in the future.  Each participating family will receive a free directory and a free Olan Mills 8 x 10 of their favorite pose.  There is no obligation to purchase additional portraits, although you may if you wish.

 

Back to School Backpacks

Please help the Christ the King Service Committee provide backpacks for children this fall, ages K-12.  We are again working in concert with Reston Interfaith to provide backpacks to kids in need in our area.  No wheels or corporate logos, please.  There is a box in the narthex for the backpacks and we will be collecting them July 11 through August 11.  Look for the posted flyer.  Thank you!

 

 Thrivent Financial For Lutherans

Representatives Nancy Orta and Jim Pace will be available on Sunday, August 1st, between services, to answer questions regarding the new Thrivent Choice program, as well as Who is Thrivent Financial for Lutherans!  Please stop by and say hello!
