Counting Our Blessings

If you are counting and keeping track, I’d like to add a few names to our blessings list at Christ The King.

 I am sure that those who attended the 11AM service on Easter would agree that we have a major blessing in Autumn Bruni and the young women that make up the CTK Dancers.  Their offering was praise in motion and quite moving to everyone worshiping at that service.  The congregation’s response to “the lift” was audible.

If you missed the dance, it’s on DVD.  The group is a continuance of the dance group that performed during “Rough Wood and Rusty Nails.”  Autumn began choreographing the dance weeks before Lent began, joined by Melanie Bruni, Ericka Hering, Maryah Hansen, Jessi Jacobsmeyer, Victoria Marshall, and Alisha Slininger. 

In February, rehearsals began; Autumn taught the routine in a weekly 2-3 hour rehearsal after church each Sunday.  The result of all that hard work was an amazing, beautiful, and inspiring addition to the worship on Easter Sunday.  There will be more from Autumn and the CTK Dancers in the future.  If you have an interest in this sort of ministry, check with Autumn. 

Others who blessed the congregation with their talents and abilities this Lent and Easter season are Hope Dobson and Jessica Leiser.  Hope played the flute on Good Friday for the voluntary “O Sacred Head Now Wounded.”  Jessica accompanied the choir on flute for the anthem “O Dearest Lord.”  Jessica recently participated in the Pinellas County Instrumental adjudications receiving a “superior,” the highest rating awarded. 

Blessings continued as people answered the call for help for our choir.  Our numbers rose to 16, the most participation we’ve had in a while. 

We have many people who are blessed with talents and abilities.  Thanks to all of you who blessed CTK with those talents and abilities.
