Adult Ed

Adult Ed class:  Pulitzer-prize winning author Marilynne Robinson has written a new non-fiction book called Reading Genesis, which will serve as the basis for our summer adult education series.  We’ll read Genesis stories together and use excerpts from the book as inspiration for the discussion.  If you’d like a copy of the book, please email laura@ctkcambridge.org. Class continues this week, July 7th.

Women's Book Club

Women of CTK, join us this summer to read and discuss Rembrandt is in the Wind: Learning to Love Art Through the Eyes of Faith by Russ Ramsey. The book is divided into stories of nine different artists, spanning nearly four hundred years of art history in the West.  If you are interested in joining at any point, or just want to be on the email list with dates and locations, email Sarah Goodman at ssgoodman617@gmail.com. Next meeting will be Thursday, July 11.

Congregational Meeting

Save the Date: On July 14th, the members and regular attenders of Christ the King Presbyterian Church are invited to the annual congregational meeting directly following the service. Lunch will be provided before the meeting.

Youth Ministry

Being part of the Youth Ministry is not only an important way of connecting with the youth (grades 6-12) and showing God’s love, it can be so much fun!  There are many ways that you can get involved.  Please check out this sign-up and select any roles you’d be interested in learning more about. Feel free to email youth@ctkcambridge.org or speak directly to Gi Yoon-Huang at church on Sundays with any questions.  We look forward to teaming with you!

Missions Update

Collin and Zury, a missionary couple we support who visited CTK last September, are campus ministers with RUF in the capital city of a Muslim-majority country in West Africa. The most recent magazine from our denomination’s overseas mission agency (Mission to the World, or MTW), has an article on the West Africa team which describes the area’s religious culture. The article (p. 12–15) highlights the major growth of Christianity and Islam on the continent and the importance of openness, welcome, and a holistic presentation of the gospel among the Wolof people of the area. Check it out here, including the picture of Collin with his co-workers on page 13!

Thankfully, the university at which Collin and Zury serve re-opened after some political turmoil, so please continue to pray for their connections with students there.

Boston Fellows

The Boston Fellows is recruiting now for the class of 2025 that begins in September (See this page of recent reviews.)

CTK has many BF alumni, one of many is Rosemary Boyle for those who would like to be personally connected, don’t hesitate to reach out (romaryboyle@gmail.com). For context, Rosemary works in oncology clinical research management at MGH. Although the Boston Fellows program recruits across all industries/trades.
