What’s a kiosk and where’s the narthex?* Not exactly sure what Maundy Thursday was about?** Christ the King is a wonderfully welcoming place but perhaps it can be a wee bit confusing for some of our visitors, guests, and new members. The purpose of the Connection Coordinator is to help members get plugged into our faith community in a place that feels ‘right’ to each person. I hope to meet each new family and help them navigate membership here. Or, families who have been here for quite some time! As a ‘flaming extrovert,’ I’d love to sit down for a cup of tea with you to hear your story and connect you to the great things going on here. Do you sign the gray pew pad on Sunday? It is part of my duties to respond to each visitor, guest, and new resident who leaves contact info. On behalf of the entire congregation, I offer a warm welcome, a current King’s Herald and/or an invitation to connect to CtK in a personally meaningful manner. Have you dropped your land line? Are you a snow bird who goes south for the winter? Please share your current contact information so the church office can connect with you as you prefer: by mail, phone, or email. Part of my challenge is to keep our membership database current. By the way, would you love to see those great King’s Herald pictures in color? Cancel your paper KH delivery by the USPS and sign up to receive them via email. All email KH subscribers enjoy the publication in full color! Are you a ministry leader? Pat Rogers and I are currently working diligently to revise the ‘talent’ portion of our database so we can easily connect members to opportunities. Let me know what sorts of people-power you are seeking for your ministry to run smoothly and I’ll do my best to connect you to those who hope to love and serve in that way. Are you seeking to connect to our new members and make new friends? I help coordinate the twice annual “Meet CtK” events. Consider joining the pastors, staff, council and other church leaders on May 5, 2019 to learn more about the ministry and mission of CtK. The festivities will begin at 12:30 p.m. with a light brunch. All new members and visitors are invited to attend this short orientation, table conversation, and opportunity to meet others. While RSVPS are certainly helpful ([email protected]), they are not necessary. Do you hope to connect to Jesus in meaningful ways? I’ll do my best to connect you to a faith formation group or connect you to our faith formation coordinators. And, so…if you wish to connect to a ministry, a group, God, an answer to a question…touch base with me and I’ll do my best to connect you to the right place. If I don’t know, we’ll seek the answers together on this faith journey. I’m here to help you connect to your place here at CtK!

*The kiosk is that multi-sided bulletin board near the Sunday worship space in our lobby (or narthex). **Maundy Thursday was the Thursday before Easter and commemorated Jesus’ Last Supper. The name comes from the Latin word mandatum, "commandment,” as in Jesus said, "I give you a new commandment.”

A Page In My Journey—Karen J. Wendling

A Page In My Journey is a new monthly column written by a member of the congregation about their faith journey. If you are interested, submit your story to [email protected]

I believe that in this universe, the earth in all its glory and turmoil is not a mistake! The Creator is making an experiment and we are living it out. I believe that Jesus is a very special messenger from the Creator to show mankind how to live now and forever. As a child, I wanted to be a missionary. I think that did not happen until the '70s, through Christ the King Lutheran Church. Merlin and I became very involved in helping a family from Vietnam adjust to a new life in South Bend. A few years later, we were very involved with helping a Cambodian family adjust and become valuable citizens of the United States. In 1987, I was asked and accepted a teaching position at Madison School in an English as a Second Language class. We had children from all over the world! When I retired in 1999, I was sent to Stephen Ministry Leadership training and have been active in this valuable ministry for 20 years. I do believe I have been guided through the years and strengthened when I needed it. God gave me the courage and faith to hold my father's hand as he passed to his new life and to hold my mother's hand as she passed. I do believe it is a passing-not a death. Thank you, God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for my years of life, love and service.

Spotlight On Missions and Ministries

Thrivent members can always help

If you have been around CtK for even a short amount of time, you have

probably seen t-shirts with the Live Generously logo. Now that I look for them, I see

them everywhere...in Minnesota, Wisconsin and they were all over Houston last year

at the Youth Gathering. How, you may ask, do these Live Generously t-shirts keep

popping up? Well, it’s because they are given to Thrivent members who apply for

Thrivent Action Team Cards.

Many of you are members of Thrivent but did you know, as a Thrivent member,

you can request $250 in Action Team Cards two times a year? These Action Cards

can be used to support any type of fundraiser, service activity or educational event

that the church is hosting. For example, the food served at the rummage sale is

purchased with Action Team Cards, allowing CtK volunteers to receive a free meal

when working the event. The food we feed the families at Trunk-or-Treat is purchased

with Thrivent Team Cards, as well as a portion of the candy handed out at the

event. In fact, any time our church is doing a fundraiser or missional event, we can ap-

ply for a Thrivent Action Card.

That is where you come in. In years past, Thrivent provided churches the names

of their congregational members who were also Thrivent members. Unfortunately, they

no longer provide churches with this information. Jill Harms, the Mission Coordinator, is

compiling a list of Thrivent members willing to complete the online application. If you

are willing to be on this list, you will be asked to apply for a Thrivent Action Team Card

as projects arise, but no more than twice a year. The application is very simple, takes

no more than 15 minutes to complete and Jill is happy to assist you with the pro-

cess. There are many CtK members who apply for these dollars every year, saving

the church thousands of dollars, but with your help, we can save more.

To have your name added to the CtK Thrivent Member List, please email Jill

Harms at [email protected] or call the church office at 272-4306.

This spring we are in need of teethers, sippy cups, lavender lotion and baby wash, and baby car mirrors. In addition, we could use red or pink covers for infant car seats. We have lots of clothes at this time. Thank you for your continued support of this worthwhile CtK project.

Seminary Update from Hillary Doerries

‘A Day in the Life’ of a Seminarian

Nearly two years ago, I embarked on a new chapter in my academic life and in my life of faith. I began working toward a Doctor of Pastoral Music (DPM) degree at the Perkins

School of Theology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. My cohort of six musician-seminarians gathers twice a year – once in January and again in June – for two weeks of intense study, class discussion, worship, and fellowship. I look forward to my time in Dallas with my cohort; although, I’ve learned that preparing to leave home for two weeks is a compli-cated, sometimes overwhelming process that forces me to im-prove upon my time management and long-range planning skills. In the weeks prior to my departure, not only am I scrambling to read four to five books, a hand-full of articles, and complete vari-ous writing assignments, I’m also working at least three weeks ahead in my Director of Music Ministries position at CtK: finishing worship folders and PowerPoints for the 9:30 a.m. services, writing detailed rehearsal plans, finding substitute musicians to lead my rehearsals and play for Sunday morning worship, making sure I have music ordered and ready for each of my ensembles upon my return to South Bend, and so on. So much goes on behind the scenes; I have come to rely on the generous help of many gracious people to keep things running smoothly in my ab-sence. While I plan to offer a lengthier presentation about my most recent experience at Perkins later this summer, below is an example of a typical day in the life of this seminarian.

January 7-18, 2019, Perkins School of Theology in Dallas, Texas 7:00 a.m. This is my ideal wake-up time on a weekday in Dallas, although I admit, I am a chronic snoozer. I probably roll out of bed closer to 7:30 or 7:45 a.m., whip up a protein shake and throw a day’s worth of work into a bag before heading out the door. 8:00 a.m. Coffee. Must…find…coffee! 8:30 a.m. I greet my cohort and my professor in Kirby Hall on the campus of SMU each day. We gather in a large room with comfy couches, floor-to-ceiling windows, a grand piano, and fancy portraits of past Perkins deans in full regalia for a short service of morning prayer. We each take turns planning and leading these services. We recite prayers, sing Psalms and hymns, and take a moment to check-in with one another before we begin an 8-hour day in the classroom. Although it is early, this has become a favorite part of my day; a qui-et time to pray, breathe, center myself, and remember and give thanks that God has brought us safely together once again. 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. It’s off to the first class of the day: Music in Worship and Renewal. Texts for this class in-clude New Songs of Celebration Render: Congregational Song in the 21st Century by C. Michael Hawn, The Song of the Singing Assembly: A Theology of Christian Hymnody by Judith M. Kubicki, Lovin’ on Jesus: A Concise History of Contemporary Worship by Swee


Seminary Update from Hillary Doerries

Hong Lim and Lester Ruth, and The Next Worship: Glorifying God in a Diverse World by Sandra Maria Van Opstal. We often spend the first half of class reflecting and discussing these texts as they apply to our own ministry contexts and then use the rest of our time ex-amining various hymn texts from all over the world, analyzing their theological implications and the role hymnody plays in faith formation. 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. Lunchtime! (Otherwise known as time to catch up on reading, take a walk around campus, or grab a quick nap in the student lounge). 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Second class of the day: Models of Leader-ship, Social Institutions, and Community En-gagements. Texts for this class include The Social Entrepreneurs Playbook (MacMillan/Thompson), Social Entrepreneurship: What Everybody Needs to Know (Bornstein/Davis), and Christian Social Innovation (L. Gregory Jones). For the first hour, we enjoy guest lec-turers from various departments, including the Cox School of Business, Dedman College, and the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship. The late afternoons are reserved for our group projects. Each DPM student is paired with three to four other students, some of whom are a part of the Doctor of Ministry pro-gram. Each group is charged with the task of creating a project that would somehow benefit a community (real or imagined) by using prin-ciples of social innovation and entrepreneur-ship that we studied and discussed during the first half of class each day. [NOTE: This was one of my favorite classes at Perkins to date! I look forward to delving into more detail about practices of Christian social innovation, entrepreneurship and the Church at my presentation later this summer – stay tuned!] 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Back to the Air BnB for a quick nap and a snack. Or, if need be – more coffee! 5:30 p.m. – MIDNIGHT I often spend the evenings catching up on reading and writing assignments. Each class

requires us to keep a journal of what we ex-perienced earlier that day: interesting discus-sion points, reactions to guest presenters, general observations about the material we learned each day, etc. I also make sure I take at least an hour to eat, whether it be a meal I make at home, or a quick stop at Digg’s Ta-cos just down the street. I often enjoy a change of scenery when I’m working. Some nights I am content to work at the kitchen table with the noise of the TV in the back-ground. Other times, I find comfort in being near other people, so I plant myself at a Star-bucks or a Barnes and Noble. I also give my-self permission on occasion to walk away from my work and venture out into the real world for a moment: a movie at Mockingbird Station, a late-night bite at a local restaurant, or a choral concert at a local Episcopal Church I’ve taken a liking to. My reward for a steady night’s work is a Facetime call with my family. Sometimes, we talk two to three times a night depending on how much encourage-ment I need before going to sleep, only to wake up and repeat the process all over again.

A nightly Facetime call with Mark and Lily!

Community Ministry Grant (CMG) Buzz

There is a buzz developing around our Community Ministry Grant (CMG) project! The CMG team has been exploring ways to address social isolation in our community as our overall emphasis. The concept of an outdoor brick oven is developing as a potential key component. As a result, we are receiving more and more feedback and questions from CtK groups, committees, and individuals. That’s a good thing. It means CtK members are hearing and thinking about where the Center for Congregations CMG process is taking us. So, what kind of feedback and questions have we received? There has been positive and affirming feedback. Some people are getting excited. Some want to really get things in gear. Others have questions regarding logistics and sustainability. There have been a few comments like, “It seems like this is a done deal” and “I thought we were going to have more say in what we are doing.” It’s safe to say there has been a wide range of feedback and questions but nothing that indicates we are heading down the wrong path. In fact, the process of seeking input from the congregation and the community is gradually clarifying what course we should take. A good way to metaphorically explain where we are would be to say we have decided we want to take a trip out West to the Pacific Ocean (social isolation), but we haven’t decided on the specific route to take. It is feeling like we are getting direction on a potential vehicle (brick oven), but there are still a lot of travel plans (details) that need to be sorted out. That’s why the CMG event on Sunday, May 19th after the late service is so important. You are invited to come for fellowship, a meal, and an update from the CMG team and assist in developing our travel plans as a congregation going forward. Please indicate you will be attending this event on the sign-up sheet at the CMG information board in the narthex so we can plan the event accordingly. In the meantime, the CMG team will continue to talk and listen to members of CtK and our community. We have plans to seek and provide more information through temple talks, discussions with Council and several groups within CtK, and canvassing the residential neighborhoods around the church.

Diane Huwaldt Perspective

Renewal

Today, I looked out into our backyard and beyond. The sky was an intense bright blue, and the farther away that I looked, the more the color faded through several shades into a deli-cate pale blue. A strong breeze was blowing, chasing the leaves across the grass and making the branches of the trees sway, dancing to a song that I could see, but not hear. After the rain that fell a couple days earlier, the smell of the earth was borne on the wind, traveling far and wide. I saw the squirrels digging their nuts up as fast as possible; they must have been party-ing, not having to tunnel under mounds of snow for their food. Birds were heralding a new sun-rise, each kind with its own special music-finding mates, and gathering twigs for nests. A frog was hopping around our neighbor’s backyard. And, a very young grandson was alternately wanting to hold it, but running away when the frog leaped and hopped around in the grass. So very excited, but not quite ready to touch this strange, green and bumpy object, he kept run-ning back to see this unknown little creature again and again. Buds are coming out on the trees. Our maple trees, though the leaves are still tightly furled, look dark orange. The crabapple trees have tight green buds. The red maple tree in the front yard has no buds; it is not yet ready to greet the Spring. Some of the trees I see in other yards, look lacy and delicate when they begin to bloom. Then, there are the evergreens with branches full year-round, dark green and yellow green. When they dance in the wind, their full branches make their dance look much bolder than the dances of other trees. Looking at the grass with the sun shining on it makes it look greener. Then, as the clouds skitter across the sky, the sun is briefly blocked, and the grass is darker. As I look through the structure of the tree-past the trunk, branches and buds-I’m able to see the clouds and sky beyond. One of the joys of childhood for me was when mom, my sister and brother and I would lie down in the grass (especially on a warm, windy day), and look for cloud pictures. I still look for them. I showed Amanda how to do that when she was little, and she still looks for them today. This morning, I saw a dog running flat out: ears and tail blown straight back by the wind, and nose charging ahead. A whale appeared - long and massive. A bird was sitting on a tree branch. Here comes a horse. There goes a fish. Over there is a mouse with its nose to the ground and a long, skinny tail stretching behind. Clouds break up. Some reform into other shapes; others become wispy and fade away with the passing breeze. Oh, the joy and discovery of it all over again with another Spring. The glory and majesty of God’s creation takes my breath away and moves me to tears. THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD This is my Father’s world, And to my listening ears, All nature sings, and round me rings The music of the spheres. This is my Father’s world, I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father’s world, The birds their carols raise, the morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise. This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair; In the rus-tling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father’s world, the battle is not done, Jesus who died shall be satisfied, And earth and heav’n be one. Amen.

Maltbie D. Babcock Traditional English Melody I thank God on behalf of each one of us who belongs to Him as we are renewed at Easter and every day that we have life and breath, because of the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Cor 5:21) No greater love exists.

In and Through Him, Diane Huwaldt


CtK Business Update & Announcements

Trust Fund Update As a form of endowment, CtK’s Trust Fund provides a way for our members to “love and serve the world” for generations to come. At our recent congregational meeting, a change to the Trust Fund Committee’s policies was approved, allowing us to begin new actions to pursue this mission. The committee is currently taking steps to convert a large portion of our assets to the ELCA Foundation’s Pooled Trust Fund. In addition, the committee has made its first annual payout from the Endowment Fund: $1221.50 has been given to the INTO Mission Fund in support of missions locally and globally; the committee also has set aside $1221.50 to support special projects within the church. The committee wishes to thank the congregation for its continued financial support. To designate a gift for the Endowment Fund, simply make a note on your en-velope or on the memo line of your check.
