Making Room at Thanksgiving: In an effort to ensure that no one at CTK is without a place to go this Thanksgiving, we are looking for people who have room at their tables. Also, if you are someone who is currently without a place to share the meal, we would be happy to connect you with someone who would love for you to join them. For more information, please email laura@ctkcambridge.org.

Meals Ministry

Are you willing to make a meal for individuals or families in the CTK community when there is a need (due to a new baby, a foster placement or adoption, recovering from an illness or surgery, or a loss)? Involvement is flexible – you receive periodic announcements and sign up if you’re able. If you’d like to be a part of the Meals Ministry or would like more information about it, please contact Adrienne at meals@ctkcambridge.org.

Deacons' Fund Offering

The Deacons' Fund Offering will be collected this Sunday. In light of the partial government shutdown currently affecting our nation, God's call to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2) should especially be heeded. The Deacons' Fund relies on the generosity of the members and attenders of Christ The King to be able to assist people with financial shortfalls. Some in our community are affected by the shutdown and in need of ongoing support for as long as the federal government remains closed. Please remember your brothers and sisters and give generously to the Deacons' Fund this week. And if you find yourself in need, contact the deacons at deacons@ctkcambridge.org.

Please note, parking is not permitted in the IDEO parking lot (80 Prospect St.) at any time. If you're looking for parking on Sunday mornings, please use Bishop Allen Drive, Harvard St., Broadway, or any of the other public streets in the vicinity. Permit-parking-only spots and metered parking spots are not in effect on Sundays. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration for of our neighbors.

Snow Team
