Sunday School teacher

A Sunday School teacher is needed to join our Grade 4 & 5 team to step in for someone moving away the end of October. Class meets from 8:45–9:45am and curriculum materials are provided. The team rotates teaching and assisting so two teachers are in class each week and teachers have some Sundays off. This is a great opportunity to build relationships with children in the church. Please contact Dana (dana@ctkcambridge.org) for more information.

APRC

The session of Christ the King established the Abuse Prevention and Response Committee (APRC) in June 2018. This committee was announced on June 24, 2018 along with the session's response to an independent assessment of how our church responded to disclosures of misconduct in the church. This announcement is published on the APRC website listed below. To learn more about the APRC or get involved, please visit the APRC website, found at https://www.ctkboston.org/aprc.

Theology Reading Group

PLEASE NOTE: The theology reading group will not be meeting this week. The group usually meets on Friday afternoons from 4-5pm at The Field Pub in Central Square.  This fall we are reading The Crucifixion by Fleming Rutledge, winner of Christianity Today’s 2017 Book of the Year Award, which presents a compelling, cross-centered vision that makes sense of human fallenness and magnifies God’s love and power to save sinners.  Contact nathan@ctkcambridge.org for more information, or just show up!

Children's Ministry Conference

Registration is still open for the Children’s Ministry Conference next weekend. You may visit Established Boston for more details, but please contact Dana before registering to get a code to save $15. The Christ the King congregations will be jointly hosting a Children’s Ministry Conference on October 12 & 13 (at our building).  This “Established” conference (based on Ps. 78:5-7a) is sponsored by the PCA and will provide training and support for those involved in Children’s Ministry through a variety of workshops, taught by both visiting and CTK speakers.  Parents, children’s teachers and ministry leaders are encouraged to attend.    

Josiah Ventures

A couple who are on staff with Josiah Ventures in Romania needs a place to stay while they are in the Boston area from October 14-16. Please contact Rachel Thrasher if you are interested and have space in your house during that time.

Stephen and Rachel Thrasher are hosting an evening with this same Josiah Ventures staff couple in which they will share their vision for Romania and some of their ministry experiences there. Come join us for fall desserts and warm drinks on Sunday night, October 14th at 7:00pm. Contact Rachel Thrasher to RSVP.
