Stewardship

As stewards of gifts we receive from God, here are some of the ways we can give back to our church parish and beyond our walls into the community.

Talent and Treasure

Please see our Give page for information on how to contribute financially to our church and beyond our walls.

BOOK RECYCLING

There is a BOOK RECYCLING BIN outside of the church from Dreambooks for anyone to donate used or new books, DVDs CDs, and video games.

These items, depending on their condition, will either be recycled or repaired so they may be sold in their book store. (Please, no moldy materials, magazines, newspapers, or cassettes/VHS.)

Let’s keep filling it up!

Created in 2019, the Climate Care Team is a group of lively, fun-loving people concerned with preserving our environment. We meet on Zoom every first Thursday at 6:00pm, and we welcome anyone who might be interested in joining us!

The Climate Care Group has participated in many “green” projects that have been both fun and environmentally sound:

  1. Offered two gifts for our parish members; a recyclable water bottle and a reusable grocery bag, both inscribed with our Christ the King logo.

  2. Participated in our first annual Season of Creation, a worldwide, ecumenical celebration of our planet earth and the importance of protecting its beauty.

  3. Exposing our parish to green laundry detergent alternatives that are biodegradable and less harmful to our water supply. (These laundry sheets contain no phosphates.)

  4. Helping out at Parish Work Days, both inside and outside the building.

Previous projects that Climate Care has completed include re-landscaping and xeriscaping of some flower beds, new weatherstripping in main entrance doorway, and changing office lights from fluorescent to LED.

Fixers and Tenders

Our Fixers and Tenders take on a lot of the small maintenance jobs around the church building and the grounds. Our building and property is extensive and requires a lot of work to keep everything in top condition. Larger jobs, such as cleaning, maintaining sprinkler system, snow removal, and HVAC maintenance are contracted out.

But in between, we work on projects such as replacing lightbulbs, minor plumbing repairs, mowing, trimming shrubs, garden upkeep, and a variety of other projects.

Arras transformed our south-facing garden along the parking lot into a lush and colorful border in the Spring, Summer and Fall!

Crafters of the King

The Crafters of the King meet on the first and third Mondays of each month to work on various craft projects, such as knitting, crocheting, needle work, quilting, and jewelry making. The group has made prayer shawls & lap blankets for individuals who are experiencing difficult times, warm hats and scarves for The Rising Day Center, and various craft items sold to benefit CTK.

In December 2023, we are hosting a Craft Sale in conjunction with the “Christmas Tea”. We also offer hand-made items for sale on Sundays before and after services in December.
