Ask Anything Class, Sept. 16th
Life is hard to understand. The Bible can be hard to understand. Faith can be hard to grapple with. Join our Adult Sunday School for a completely open format - any question you have, Pastor will help lead in discussing it. If you know your question beforehand, please email or call the church office. |
Children's Sunday School

Did You Know… Your tithes and offerings can be made through Electronic Fund Transfer? You don’t have to worry about forgetting your checks or how to donate when you are away, and it is entirely free both to you and the church because it is a program sponsored by the Synod. The Finance Committee encourages everyone to consider this option, and if you are comfortable, make use of it. You can contact the church office with any questions or look for further info in the narthex.

Do you shop on Amazon? Did you know your purchases can support Christ the King? Simply shop at smile.amazon.com (instead of amazon.com - same owner, same products, different site). Select Christ the King Lutheran Church from the charitable organization list (be sure to choose CTK in Newtown from the list). There is no cost to you, and you use the same account you currently have on amazon.com—all of your account settings are the same and will automatically transfer over to your new smile.amazon.com account. The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5 percent of eligible purchases. While this doesn’t sound like a lot of money, it will add up if we all participate! Simply go to smile.amazon.com to get started.

Trustees
Tree Work Completed
The church had some major tree work done in August. A large portion was the scheduled work to complete the clean-up from last May's macro-burst (the tree services have been very busy ever since!). Heavy equipment was necessary to clean up nearly a dozen trees that had fallen in the area between the pond and the parsonage.
In addition, the black maple by our front sign lost an enormous limb. Within 24 hours, Trustee Mike Mandarano, church neighbor Mark D'Amico, and Pastor Morris were able to clear away everything that was downed, and the tree service completed the rest of the necessary trimming a week later. Thanks to all for their help!
