faith continuum schedule


Faith Continuum commences in September with a year full of speakers on a wide variety of topics.  All are provided for the adults (post-confirmation) of CTK and visitors consideration.  It is our hope that those in attendance will see and hear substantive matters to ponder as we all seek to have the Spirit lead us to do that which God would have us do for the Kingdom here.


As always, we start at 9am (between first and second Sunday morning Services)in the Fireside Room.  We begin the new season on September 7th with a friend from MSU,M - Kristin Odland.


Kristin will share what new and exciting adventures you can have by becoming involved the MSU's International Student Friendly Family Program.  Kristin will bring new friends for us to meet from among the school's international student population.  FYI - The kick-off for FFP will be Sept 14 from 4-6pm.

Beginning with the following Sunday's Faith Continuum Forum until the Reverand Doctor Paul Arneson teaches in October, we have a full slate of presenters.  Right now I cannot tell you who will lead on a particular date, but I can tell you who we have to look forward to hearing from.  We expect the following people to share their knowledge and experience sometime in September or the early part of October:


  • Pastor Brittany will offer an opportunity to learn more about her and provide those in attendance with information on what she sees happening with Confirmation.


  • Our new friend, YWCA Executive Director Ceceli Bidelman will share on the YW's new relationship with CtK,  what programs are offered and what the YW's bright future looks like .


  • Our very own Kathy Sallstrom will attend on behalf of ISAIAH's ministry at its ongoing efforts "Answering Authoritarianism".


  • Either one or Both of the leaders of the "Youth Mental Health First Aid Training" workshops will share on this important event for parents, grandparents, teachers and community members.  There are 4 remaining Saturdays to attend.  They will help provide the impetus for us to consider attending this potential lifesaving event.


  • Sandwiched somewhere this fall before Thanksgiving is the Congregational Council, Mary Beth Trembley on end-of-life doula, as noted above the Reverand Doctor Paul Meyering with a series, Liz Paul with all the happenings at "Connections Shelter".


The Faith Continuum calendar is full.  When each is to be heard is "up in the air".  To take the guess work out of it check your emails every Friday for an announcement of things to come at that Sunday's Faith Continuum.  Please come at 9am every Sunday between 9/7 and Thanksgiving for a worthy experience. It is always a blessing to have heard that which one might consider worthy of their time and who knows- the Spirit may lead you to act on something you see and hear.
