Volunteer Christmas Decorating Party
Do you love decorating for Christmas!? Then this event is for you! We're inviting YOU to come join us in the Commons on Sunday, November 24th to help decorate. There will be a light lunch served at 12:30 PM, and the decorating will begin at 1:00 PM. This event is recommended for Middle School and older due to the the equipment and heavy boxes moving throughout the venue.

All is Bright 2024
Last year All Is Bright welcomed more than 2,000 people through the doors of our church, many of whom have never been to CTK before. This massive indoor light display is an opportunity for people in our community to encounter Jesus through the hospitality of his people (and that's you)!
It will take more than 140 volunteers to make this year's event happen, so plan now—not only invite your friends and neighbors and attend, but to help put on All is Bright. There are opportunities to help with setup, creating your own light display, offering hospitality during the event, serving cocoa in the cafe, and more. Don't miss your chance to help create this community event that celebrates Jesus, the Light of the World.
To sign up click the form or text Lights to 360-800-4173. If you have questions, email Lori at LoriB@ctk.church
Foster Family Christmas
Are you looking for a way to bless families that take in and take care of kids in need? We are partnering with a great organization called Foster Hearts to host a Christmas party for foster families this December. Foster Hearts has a passion to provide underprivileged kids with the support they need in order to have a happy childhood and bright future.
If you’d like to join us in serving these families this year, there are two ways to help: Donate items to create a gift basket for each family and we’re also looking for people to serve dinner to these families and lead crafts and games that evening. Donate gift cards and gift basket items now through November 24.

CTK Pre Easter Clean Up
In preparation for Easter our facilities team and volunteers typically do a general building cleanup day. (This includes jobs like carpet cleaning, vacuuming, trash pick up, wall cleaning, etc.) However, this season has been a bit harder on CTK staff. Many of you may not know that our Facilities Director, Kevin is married to Pastor Angel. And our sweet sister Angel has recently been diagnosed with cancer. To help shoulder the weight of this we'd love for our CTK Response Team volunteers to help bridge the gap for the pre Easter CTK Cleanup. Interested in volunteering? Please sign up below. Any questions please reach out to JordynMae, CTK Operations Coordinator. Thanks so much for stepping forward to fill this gap, friends! We are grateful for you!

Lighthouse Mission Project at New Facility Building
One of our biggest projects this season is for the Lighthouse Mission so bring a friend, co-worker, family member to help! Their facilities team is stretched pretty thin with the build of their new facility so the grounds-keeping maintenance at the other four Holly Street locations is hard to keep up with. We've committed to significantly cutting back weeds, vines, and junk in their lot at F and Astor, the adjacent building, and fresh bark around the Agape home for women and children. This is a classic case of many hands make light work so we need 25 CTK'ers to see how much of a dumpster we can fill to get this neighborhood looking great for guests and neighbors alike! (Ages 14 and up-please register each person coming so we have lunch for everybody!)
