What exactly is the King of Glory Columbarium Memorial Garden? A columbarium is a place for the respectful and public storage of urns that hold a deceased’s cremated remains. The term comes from the Latin columba (dove) and originally referred to compartmentalized housing for doves and pigeons called a dovecote. At one time it was customary for most churches to have cemeteries adjacent to their buildings as a final resting place for their members; however this practice proved prohibitive and too costly. A columbarium is a very practical and economical option today for churches.

So far this year, we have donated enough funds to purchase 4 sanitation kits, 80 chicks, 6 hives of honeybees, and 11 school kits from the ELCA Good Gifts. Thank you to all who donated funds too this great cause. For October, November, and December, we will be collecting funds to go toward a fish farm. This costs $250 but I know we can achieve this. As we are grateful this year for all we have, lets think of what this fish farm would mean to someone or village that needs this.

March 2020! Suddenly we were unable to gather together for worship and fellowship because of major concerns for our safety due to the outbreak of COVID-19. We were forcefully and gently led by the Spirit of God to find ways to gather together as the King of Glory community. To stay connected, staff produced virtual worship services, meetings via Zoom, and “snail” mail. We celebrated the arrival of Pastor Connie Winter-Eulberg with a virtual installation and a drive-through “meet and greet” on Palm Sunday. In May we worshipped in the back parking lot, using a newly purchased FM-transmitter; and, staying in our cars we passed the peace by waving and honking, and received Holy Communion using pre-packaged communion sets. In late summer we were able to begin limited in-person worship services, following guidelines recommended by the CDC and health care officials.

Some of you have been receiving the King of Glory news in your USPS mailbox for the past year. It has come to our attention that this weekly newsletter has been arriving late. You’ve told us you missed activities and important information because you got the mailing too late. We could use the excuse that we have no control over the mail--but we will not!

As your Council leadership, we are making plans for resuming the publication of the monthly newsletter which will include the calendar of events for the month, birthdays and anniversaries, and other special occasions. You will receive it at the end of the month by USPS mail, on-line, or in your church mailbox if you attend in-person worship or activities in the building. The way you receive the newsletter will be your choice and what is most convenient for you.

We are also publishing the Weekly Events & Announcements handout again for worship services. As you will recall, this communication shared prayer concerns for the congregation, weekly events and special announcements. We can mail that; however, this is available on Sundays if you attend worship in-person.

Thank you for your understanding! We are working diligently to stay safe AND connected in this time of transition from pandemic isolation to fellowship with each other. Your continued prayers for the King of Glory staff and the council are coveted as together we make difficult decisions for the safety for the whole community of faith.

If you have concerns or suggestions, please contact me.
