Celebration of Servants at Christ the King

Celebration of Servants Jack and Jewel
Celebration of Servants Jack and Jewel

Over 200 members of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Memphis spent a recent Sunday afternoon acknowledging and thanking the many volunteers who – out of love for their Savior and their fellow members and the community at large – give tirelessly of their gifts and talents. After a catered dinner by Coletta’s, those gathered enjoyed a brief video, narrated by Pastor Mark Goble, with encouraging words from congregation president Mike Jurgensen and senior pastor Chuck Neugebauer, highlighting many of the areas of service in which members are involved. (See the “Celebration of Servants” video by visiting the “CTKMemphis” youtube channel.)

Following the video, volunteers in each area of service – worship, craftsmanship, fellowship and hospitality, caring and kindness, evangelism, youth, children and family ministry, missions, Christian education, and leadership – were asked to stand and applauded. This gave everyone an opportunity to thank others who have encouraged them and assisted them in their faith life by providing a model of servanthood. Blank thank you cards were provided at each table so that those in attendance could write personal notes of appreciation to someone who had touched their lives at CTK. An additional highlight was the presence of Jewel Comfort Dog and her handlers from Loudon, TN, who joined in the celebration and answered questions from CTK members who are eagerly awaiting their own Comfort Dog from Lutheran Church Charities.
