CTK Faith In Action Team

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 3rd Annual Survival Backpacks for ONE MORE CHILD, an organization that provides assistance to survivors of trafficking in the Memphis and surrounding area. We were blessed to be able to put together 48 backpacks with items donated from the congregation and through a Thrivent Grant. We were also fortunate to have the LWML group from Messiah Lutheran Church join us in gathering and purchasing items that were needed, in addition to helping us fill them. With their help, we were able to purchase more backpacks and will be filling those in addition to the intial 48. Thank you! It was also great to see so many of our CTK youth join in and listen to our speaker about warning signs and what they do to help other youth and adults in various situations. A special shout out to Liam Haggerty for cooking all of our pizzas so we could have an amazing lunch and to our FIA members who are so dedicated to making this happen each year.

CHILI AUCTION! This Sunday! September 21st, after the second service, starting at 12pm. Please join us for a FUNraiser for great causes such as our adopted school in Haiti. Thank you to Christopher and Aaron for donating all the bourbon. You can bid on those to take home a winning bottle! Or take home a bottle of wine from our wine pull. Thank you to those who have donated to our amazing wine collection. We have lots of great auction items, including a Drury Inn stay, Nashville attractions such as the Zoo and Botanic Gardens. Lots of Memphis attractions, including fancy seats at the Orpheum, St. Louis Cardinals tickets, themed baskets, a $400 7-speed bike from a local bike shop, cakes from Julie Haggerty, some Nutcrackers to add to your collection, and so much more! Help us make this our most successful auction yet! Don't forget Pastor Chuck will be back with the Beatles this year, and we will announce winners of our chili contest! Thank you to our judges who have agreed to taste all of our chili! Please come out to vote for your favorite in the popular vote! BBQ sliders will be available for those who don't care for chili. We can't wait to see you!
