Welcome! We’re so glad you’ve visited us. Please fill out our digital visitor card so that we can get in touch with you.
Community Groups are an essential part of our life together at CTK. If you’d like any help getting in contact with a group near you, please email office@ctkcambridge.org.
The CTK Reader is our weekly e-newsletter that goes out on Thursday afternoons. It’s a great way to learn about upcoming events as well as to post announcements in our “Community” section.
New Communion Practice
It was brought to our attention by medical professionals within our congregation that our current practice of using gloves in serving communion is of negligible hygienic value. It is also a regular source of plastic waste. With that in mind, we’ll be changing how bread is served during communion. The servers will now simply hold the plate of bread and each individual will take a piece, just as they take a cup from the second tray. Gluten-free bread will still be available in the center of the tray.
Guest Preacher
For May and June, we have guest preachers lined up for Sunday mornings. This Sunday, Rev. Daniel Paik will be joining us. Daniel is the Associate Pastor at CityLife Presbyterian Church.
Save the Date - July 4
Save the date for the CTK July 4th Picnic at Sennott Park! Invite your friends and neighbors! Venture to the river to see the fireworks afterwards! More details coming soon.
Missionary Visit
This Sunday, during the Adult Education hour, Garrett & Kate Parker will be visiting to share about their missionary work in Prague, Czech Republic. Both Garrett and Kate work at the Christian International School of Prague under the auspices of Resourcing Christian Education, International. Garrett teaches physical education and an introductory weight training class for students and staff. Kate serves as the school’s admissions coordinator and teaches math classes. Learn more about their work and how you can be praying for them next Sunday at 9:15a.
Boston Fellows
Boston Fellows is accepting applications for 2025-2026. God has a province for you to oversee. Whether your career is soaring or stuck in traffic, you need to know deep down what your work is about, beyond a paycheck, a good career move, or even that dream job. The Boston Fellows is a nine-month program for professionals seeking to cultivate the insights and spiritual habits necessary for meaningful vocation within a cohort of peers, spiritual leaders, and professional mentors. Info and apply at BostonFellows.com.
Men's Ministry
To the CTK men: at our last breakfast we discussed the values and needs of building stronger friendships and more regular fellowship amongst the men here in the church. One idea was to relaunch different meeting groups around the Greater Boston area. Following up on that, here's a survey (https://forms.gle/iiaeE5rpTWYAPNho6) to help coordinate the logistics of trying to set this up. We'll be putting together another breakfast soon to go over the results together and hopefully start launching a few of these groups. Please direct any questions or suggestions to Ryan Chaky at rjchaky@gmail.com.
