Congregational Meeting

The members of Christ the King, Grace and Boston North Presbyterian Church are called to a Congregational Meeting on Sunday, January 6, 2019 at 12:00 noon at Christ the King Presbyterian Church, 99 Prospect Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Business to be conducted at the meeting includes a congregational vote that would enable the members of our Brazilian Congregation in Cambridge to become their own separate particular church and a congregational vote to give approval for Rev. Leandro Pinheiro to serve as pastoral supply for the new church while remaining a pastor of Christ the King Presbyterian Church.

A few notes for parents regarding the congregational meeting:
• Parents are responsible for supervising their children during the meeting.
• Children should not be in the basement after the service or during the meeting.
• The social hall will be available to families to use as needed during the meeting; there will be a speaker to hear what is being said in the sanctuary.  The deacons will let those in the social hall know when to come into the sanctuary to vote.

Clothing Swap - NEW DATE
