The CTK Reader is our weekly e-newsletter that goes out on Thursday afternoons. It’s a great way to learn about upcoming events as well as to post announcements in our “Community” section.
Guest Preacher
For May and June, we have guest preachers lined up for Sunday mornings. This Sunday, Rev. Bryan Loney will be joining us. Bryan leads the Church Mental Health Partnership (CMHP), a new initiative by Harbor Christian Counseling, designed specifically to serve churches and church leaders
Prayer Initiative
During this season in our church, we would like to provide resources for organized prayer so we can be praying together for our church and its many needs, including the pastoral transition. If you would be interested in helping to write prayer prompts, lead or co-lead prayer times (virtual or in-person), host a prayer meeting at your home, offer design/artistic skills for visually inspiring prayer prompts, or help facilitate organized prayer in other ways, please contact Kris Sachesenmeier (kfs1966@gmail.com) or Laura Martin (laura.a.martin87@gmail.com). We look forward to providing encouraging ways for us to pray corporately during this season.
