Hello, I'm Pastor Doug Ryniewicz. I'm the pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Windsor, Ct. Christ the King is a smaller, "family-size" church. Here it is easy to know everyone's name and within a few weeks everyone will know you! We are a congregation that values being known and personally addressed. We are a congregation that easily blends the old and the new in our Worship. We are enthusiastic about church events as a "family". We are proud of our efforts to help others, especially the hungry and the needy. We welcome you to warm and laughter filled bible studies and adult learning class. We are ecumenical and share our facility with another faith community from the African-American faith tradition. Our last adult class focused on learning to appreciate Judaism and our origins in the Hebrew faith story. We have lively children's sermons and care for our teens by supporting them in discovering Christian community, sometimes meeting with the kids from Grace Lutheran, an inner city sister congregation. We have joyful one-a-month dinners to learn and enjoy spending time together. There is only one important piece missing at Christ the King. You and yours! Please give us the chance to welcome you warmly. Call and speak to me personally, Pastor Doug. Thank-you for finding us on the web. May God bless you and be with you on your journey of faith.
In Christ, Pastor Doug
