Authentic Diversity at CTK
Next meeting: Monday July 29th at 4pm in Pastor Jackie’s office.
As part of the Greater Milwaukee Synod, CTK is exploring what it means to be an authentically diverse church. A group of us recently met to discuss what the next most faithful steps forward may be at Christ the King. We celebrate the progress CTK has made in the past couple of years. For instance, last year, CTK underwent a process to be a dementia friendly church which consisted in education and some minor modifications to our signage. We added a prayground to create a welcoming space for children and families and have hearing assistance available for those who need it.
In this light, we follow God’s Spirit to explore ways to be more inclusive and understand each other’s differences. This newly Authentic Diversity group will stive to meet monthly, explore topics to discuss, and learn from one another. The group will set the ‘ground rules’ for respectful conversations, pick a topic to discuss, investigate books and sources to add to the conversation. Please join us for this time of enrichment!

CTK in the Delafield 4th of July Parade!
Thank you to Paul Nuemiller for heading up and organizing this event. Also to everyone who came to ride/walk for CTK.
| |
Spreading our name. Several people showed up to decorate the Neumiller Truck to represent CTK in the parade in Delafield | |
The streets were lined with an outstanding number of residents, young and old, as the CTK truck rolled through the parade route. Members gave out candy and a well wishes flyer from CTK. | |
Pr. Jackie stopped along the street as she saw members to take pictures with a big smile! | |

Making a Game Plan for Family Events
Family reunions, holiday gatherings, Sunday dinners, special occasions. For most couples, family events are a normal part of your life together. While every family is different, one thing is certain: navigating family events isn’t always easy.

TEC Retreat Weekend for High School Students
I want to make churches, pastors, and youth leaders in our synod aware of
Badger Teens Encounter Christ <https://badgertec.wordpress.com/> (TEC), a
parachurch youth ministry in southeastern Wisconsin. Over the last 25+
years, TEC has held three-day weekend retreats for high schoolers around
Southeastern Wisconsin, led by ELCA pastors and other adults and teens.
This year's retreat, TEC 55, is coming up soon at Immanuel Evangelical
Lutheran Church in Watertown from August 2-4. The weekend retreat includes
time for worship, small group discussions, a service project, and lots of
spiritual growth opportunities. If you have teens who are interested,
please have them sign up by July 22. More information is on the website at
http://www.badgertec.org, or I'd love to talk to you if you have any
questions. Youth leaders, pastors, or other adults interested in helping
and/or seeing more of what TEC involves can also sign up to be on team for
the weekend.
And even if you don't have any teens in your church who are interested, we
would still appreciate your prayers for those who are participating in this
experience. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
In Christ,
Pastor Daniel Flucke

Dear Church,
We are excited to share that the Greater Milwaukee Synod will be sending over 240 youth, young adults and their adult leaders to New Orleans for this year's ELCA Youth Gathering and the first ever ELCA Young Adult Gathering! The Gathering's pre-event, ELCA Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (MYLE) will have 7 GMS youth attending and participating. This year's theme is Created to Be, based on Psalm 139:14:
Whether or not folks from your own congregation will be attending the events, we invite you to hold all the young people, adult leaders, and volunteers in your prayers—especially our own Katie Varrelmann who is attending the young adult gathering.

Common drugs could make hot days more dangerous for many older adults
Temperatures are soaring in many regions of the country, putting many people — especially older adults, who are most vulnerable to heat’s dangers — at risk for heat-related illness, even death. And one thing that doesn’t help is if you are taking medications that interfere with your body’s ability to cool itself down.

Medications and the Sun
Is your medicine making your skin sensitive in the sun? These five drugs can put you at greater risk for sunburn-like symptoms, a rash or other unwanted side effects.
