In worship today we celebrate Holy Communion. This is God’s gift to us assuring us of His love and forgiveness. In this meal, Jesus is truly present. All who believe are welcome. It is the tradition at CtK for children to begin receiving communion at 4th grade. If you are visiting from another congregation and your child/ren receive communion at a younger age, they are welcome to receive here.
Wednesday Midweek Lenten Services Services begin at 12:15 in the Sanctuary. Services will continue weekly through Wednesday, April 10. Holy Communion will be offered at each service.
Hymns 9:00am #638 #742 #579 vs. 1-3 #779 #487 #624
Nursery All children are welcome in worship at any time. However, should you wish to use the nursery, it is located down the west hall between the Sanctuary and the Christus Rex. At this time the nursery is occasionally staffed. You are welcome to use the nursery anytime.
Financial Update General Fund For the month ended February 28, total receipts were short of target by ($20,533). Total expenses were under budget by $4,984. The net unfavorable variance was ($15,549) summarized as follows: Actual Projected Variance Revenue $56,554 $77087 $(20,533) Expenses $78,088 $83,072 $4,984 Gain/Loss $(21,534) $(5,985) $(15,549) United In Joy $401,994 has been collected to date and $194,005 over and above normal monthly payments has been paid down on the mortgage. This prepayment reduces the length of the loan by 45 months and saves $270,000 in interest.

Lenten FaithWalk Offering Project! This year the FaithWalk students will be raising funds for ELCA Good Gifts to help people around the world. Every student built a barn shaped bank to fill with coins, and picked the thing they are trying to raise money for (goat, chick, rooster, vegetable garden, honeybees, fruit-tree seedlings, cow, backpack of food for students, pig, school supplies, and a fish farm)! Through the 6 weeks of Lent, students will be placing coins and monies in their barn-banks. Banks are due back to the Rainbow Room on Sunday, April 14 (Palm Sunday).
If you are interested in donating to this project, checks can be brought to the church office or placed in the offering plate with "FW Offering" or "ELCA Good Gifts" on the memo line. Questions, please see Deacon Jess.

WELCA
Please consider helping out! Bringing a baby into
the world can be a difficult and scary thing for a
mother living in poverty. Keeping a new baby
healthy, clean and comfortable takes a lot of
resources. The items included in a Baby Care Kit
provide the basics a family needs to care for their
new members in the way they hope. WELCA will be
collecting items to make up Baby Care AND
Personal Care Kits. Lists of items needed can be
found in the office and a box for collection has been
placed in the hallway. It is not necessary to
purchase complete kits. Please keep in mind as you
do your shopping from now until May 1st. Thank
you!
