A note from Kristin, Our Faith Education Leader

Dear CTK Congregation,

After almost a year on chemo, my doctor and I made the decision that I need to cut back because of the permanent side effects. I will be leaving my position as Faith Education Leader and passing the torch of leading Sunday School into the capable hands of Katie Varrelman. 

Please know that I will miss not only the privilege of teaching your kids, but you and your families as well. Katie has been a member of Christ the King for a long time (she even went to Sunday School here!) and her son, Isaiah is old enough now for Sunday School..

I will end this email with Psalm 62:5-6 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress: I shall not be shaken.

Blessings and remember: WWJD

Together in Mission 2027

February 6, 2027 @ 8:00 am - 3:00 pm

Save the date for Together in Mission, our synod’s annual learning gathering for lay and rostered leaders! Together we’ll worship, celebrate our partnership in the Gospel, and learn together on a variety of ministry topics.

 The Invisible Roles in Marriage

When it comes to roles in marriage, our minds tend to drift to the practical side of things, like who’s in charge of paying the bills, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, cooking the meals, and all the other responsibilities that go into keeping your household running smoothly. But there’s a more abstract side to this as well.

Amidst all the day-to-day tasks, there’s a good chance you’ve taken on some roles that are more social or emotional in nature. These roles are unique in that they’re constantly running in the background – they can’t be checked off a to-do list and marked complete. The result? These roles are often invisible – you may not even realize you’re fulfilling them, even though they require ongoing mental and emotional energy. Let’s explore some examples and what to look out for with each one.
