Christ the King Lutheran Church 5811 Walnut Avenue Orangevale, CA Phone (916) Rev. Scott M. Guemmer, Pastor Website: ChristTheKingOV.com Crossbeams Christ the King Lutheran Church February 2015 FOOTSTEPS WITH CHRIST Looking for more fulfillment with your faith? Desiring a closer walk with Christ? Join us for FOOTSTEPS WITH CHRIST. This is a 7 week intentional time to learn, grow and strengthen your faith. It starts on February 15 (Lunch is included each week!) Space is limited, so sign-up soon! If you have questions, please ask Pastor Scott. HOW DOES FOOTSTEPS WORK? FOOTSTEPS WITH CHRIST is a seven week process during the season of Lent and includes Holy Week. We ask that you make the commitment to attend all sessions and all worship services. We will meet each Sunday after the regular worship service starting at 11:45 am. We will share a light lunch together in the Fellowship Hall. Afterward we will move into the sanctuary for Bible study, conversation and reflection in both large and small groups. Sunday sessions will end at 2:30 pm. Every Candidate will have a personal sponsor to walk along side them, sharing in this experience. During the journey you will participate in four public rites during regular worship services. In addition to Sundays we ask that you attend Ash Wednesday and all Holy Week services which include Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil. While this seems like a lot of time, I assure you that this journey will pass very quickly and many who have gone on this journey before you are surprised and sad to see it end. This is a life changing investment in your faith and in the relationship with your God. Sign up now! Space is limited. Take a leap of Faith! ~ Sharon Scagliotti
