On Sunday, May 5th, will be celebrating baptisms and having a church wide picnic at beautiful Riverside Park in West Fork! This is a rare opportunity for our whole community to come together across two services as one church. If you are interested in being baptized, we would love to celebrate with you. 

Following the baptisms, we can eat, play lawn games, and spend some unhurried time enjoying the park. Bring your own food/beverages, your Cinco de Mayo flare, and swim clothes if you want an invigorating dip in the river! 

For more information, or to ask about baptism, you can email Ashley@ctknwa.org.

We look forward to being together!

Easter Sunday marks the beginning of our feasting and celebrating season! Please plan to join us for worship on this special day at one of our three worship services.

In order to make room for our guests, we will be holding our first ever "sunrise" Easter service at 7A. Please come wearing your Easter pj's or your Sunday best - and plan to join us in the fellowship hall after worship for a feast of donuts, juice and coffee.

There will be no CTK Kids Ministry (Nursery only) at 7:30A, so this will be a shorter, family friendly service.

The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, is an art installation commemorating Jesus' passion and death on the cross. There are fourteen stations, each depicting a moment on the way to Calvary through pieces of art, prayer, and reflection. The purpose of the installation is to invite "pilgrims" into a time of prayerful meditation as we journey with Jesus through his final days before the cross. 

Our CTK Artists Guild has been working to create pieces of original art for this year's Stations of the Cross, which includes pieces of visual art, as well as music, poetry and more. The Stations will be available following the Maundy Thursday service and again on Good Friday. For those who wish to have more time and space to walk through the stations, they will be available from 12-2P on Good Friday.

Did you know that one of the best things happening at CTK happens on the third Sunday of every month? On the third Sunday of the month, those from CTK who are 50 yrs+ gather for lunch, spend time getting to know one another, tell stories, and relish in their cumulative coolness. If you are over 50, you should be with these people! 

If you are new to the church, or simply haven't yet had an opportunity to connect with folks in a similar stage of life, these lunches are a great way to meet the best of us.  

The next gathering will be this Sunday, January 21st. If you are interested in joining, please reach out to Randy Spence (469-525-6249) for more information on time/location.

This service will be an opportunity both to worship God through the beauty of created things, as well as to celebrate the gifts of those we love.

Next Sunday, November 19th, we will be hosting an informational meeting about Canopy NWA and how we as a church hope to partner in the good work that they are doing here in Northwest Arkansas. 

Canopy’s mission is to create a community where refugees are welcomed and equipped with all they need to build new lives. We hope to support and partner with Canopy in three distinct ways: 

Donations

• We can donate furniture, as this is an almost constant need.

• We can donate Welcome Kits–which contain everything needed to make a house a home, from bed sheets to cleaning supplies to pots and pans, etc. (Details on kits are on their website.)

Volunteering

• Cooking a culturally appropriate meal for an incoming family

• Buying three days of groceries for an incoming family

• Taking someone grocery shopping or to an appointment

• Moving: Canopy needs teams with vehicles who can move furniture from their office to a family's new home.

Co-Sponsorship

• This would look like for one (or more) groups of at least 6 people from our congregation who will make a 6 month commitment to be the "first friends" to an incoming family. 

We will be covering more details and logistics about the above partnership opportunities at the info meeting on the 19th. In the meantime, if you are curious about Canopy, and the incredible work they are doing among refugee communities in NWA you can visit their website: www.canopynwa.org

Every year, on All Saints Day, the church calendar invites us to into a time of purposeful remembrance to honor those we love who have gone to be with the Lord. On the Sunday following All Saints Day, we will set aside time in our worship services for a Liturgy of Remembrance. During this time, the names of loved ones will appear on the screen as they are read aloud in a spirit of prayer and thanksgiving. 

If you have lost someone you love, either recently or many years ago, and you would like to have their name read aloud during this time of remembrance, please make your submissions HERE. We will be collecting names until 12P on Saturday, November 4th. 

*Note that you are invited to make multiple submissions.
