NOTES ABOUT CTK: Thank you to all who came out to help with the Pantry yesterday! It has given a great opportunity for CTK to carry out a Christian concern for our neighbor. We wish to give a hearty thank you to Myron Werkmeister for making a new welcome center. It is beautiful!

GRIEF SHARE: Our Grief Share program started a new series on September 16. It will run every Saturday until December 9, 2023. The class is from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. If you are looking for some support working through the loss of a loved one, consider attending. Invite members and non-members who need support to work through grief to attend. It is directed by Mary Caldwell. The program is also looking for people who are gifted with a listening ear and a compassionate heart to be co-leaders. See Mary if you are interested in helping.

Registration deadline is September 23rd. We have room for five more.

NURSERY HELP NEEDED: Our Child Protection Policy states that two adults must always be present with children. So that means we need help! We have broken the time slots into three slots per Sunday. Please look at the sign-up genius and see when you can plug yourself in to help! If you have any questions, please contact Allison Daniels or Annette Goss. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050d4cadaf2da3f49-ctknursery#/
