On June 23, Dana Russell, our children’s ministry director, will be manning a table in the social hall after the service to complete MA CORI background checks. If you are a new volunteer who needs a check or an existing volunteer who needs to renew their check (basically if Dana emailed you that you are due to get rechecked!) please stop by and see her at the table. Please bring an ID as well as the last 6 digits of your social security number.
Adult Ed
Join us on June 9 during Adult Ed, when Serena Jones will speak about the RUF spring break missions trip in London, during which they spent time working with our missionaries Matt and Jenn Irvine and the church plant they work at in Harrow neighborhood, called New Life Suwarta Sungat.
No Sunday School/Adult Ed
Please note, because of the holiday weekend, there are no children’s Sunday school classes or Adult Education this Sunday. Classes will resume on June 2.
Ariana Luncheon
Join us after the service this Sunday (May 5th) for a luncheon to celebrate and give thanks for Ariana Smartt and her ministry at CTK, as well as to learn about her next steps as she moves on from Cambridge.
Q&A
Directly following the service this Sunday, there will be a Q&A regarding the most recent letter from the elders to the congregation. There will be childcare and supervision for all ages provided. A few notes regarding child/youth supervision:
Parents, please pick up children in nursery immediately following the service
Kids of any age may head to social hall for supervision with volunteers.
Parents of Grade K or younger must check-in/out children
Kids will be served a snack during the Q&A (bagels, fruit, cheerios & water). So kids should take a seat at a table when they arrive.
If parents have any allergy concerns, need to let Dana know in social hall.
ALL parents asked to pick up children afterwards (so we can account for everyone)
Rest of congregation – bagels on offer to grab during break near the bookshelves (please try to keep clear of the kids tables in the back).
SS & AE
Please note, there is no Sunday school or Adult Education this Sunday (Easter). Classes will resume on April 7th.
Adult Ed
New Adult Ed Class: Holy Week Reflections — March 17 & 24, 9:15a in Social Hall.
Easter doesn't stand alone. It is the exuberant declaration to the Victory achieved by our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. In this short class we will look too briefly at his last two days; the events of the Last Supper and the Last Sacrifice. In this way, let's prepare for Easter.
Adult Ed
Next Adult Ed class: Supporting our Youth as a Church Family: Stories and Discussion. CTK has long been home to a vibrant community of children and families. Our children’s ministry comes alongside them with sound Biblical teaching each Sunday, but how else does our church support the youth among us? This is not a parenting class, but instead a discussion on what it means when we take the vow during infant baptism to “as a congregation undertake the responsibility of assisting the parents in the Christian nurture of this child.” The presenters (Tim Talun, Gi Yoon-Huang, Michael Poor, and Andy Stuntz) will share their experiences as families with younger and older children of various abilities, people of color, one Christian parent, and growing up at Christ the King Church. We hope this will help spur discussion on how we can better serve the youth of our church in their Christian nurture. Class runs on March 3 & March 10 at 9:15a in the Social Hall.

Kids' Sunday Summary
New for Parents: We've launched a new page on the church website called “Kids' Sunday Summary." This dedicated space provides a brief overview of the lessons covered in Sunday classes with questions to continue the conversation at home. This tool is intended to strengthen the connection between the church and home, making it easier for parents to review and reinforce these important teachings with their children throughout the week. Check out the Kids' Sunday Summary page.
