Cottage Meeting Sign UpWe have recently changed the structures behind how ministry happens at Christ the King! A Cottage Meeting is a one-time, roughly one-hour conversation led by a Pastor or Council leader to explain this change and also to help us grow closer as a community. Each gathering will bring together 8-12 people for the opportunity to build relationships, share passions, and learn about how to sense God moving in our lives today. Hosts may choose to welcome people for as long as they like, however the “formal” part of the meeting will last around an hour. During that hour a Pastor or a Council leader will lead a time of community building, followed by learning, followed by wondering and dreaming, and ending with blessing.

Sign up for an upcoming Cottage Meeting on June 13 either at the rolling board in the commons, using the link on Constant Contact or on our website under upcoming events. OR fill out a form from the library desk to HOST a cottage meeting – hand in to the office.
