The Deacons' Fund Offering will be taken up this Sunday, October 29. Once collected, the deacons will donate a portion of the funds to Mission to North America's Disaster Response efforts in Puerto Rico to assist churches there in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. In addition to the offering, CTK has set up an online giving portal, which will remain open throughout the month of November, as means for you to donate electronically to the MNA relief efforts.
