Upcoming Events

How to Study the Gospels

How to Study the Gospels is a lecture and workshop for anyone wishing to understand the four Gospels and their role in explaining God's plan for our redemption. All are invited! Leaders and Bible teachers at CTK are highly encouraged to come to benefit their own teaching ministries!  10:30-12:30 pm on Saturday February 9th in the Fellowship Hall followed by lunch. Please RSVP to Laura Martin. 

Getaway

There is still some space available for the Winter Getaway, but please sign up today, especially if you are interested in a private room. Our speaker this year will be CTK alum Nick Smith, with a special concert on Saturday night by singer/songwriter Caroline Cobb Smith.  Visit ctkcambridge.org/getaway for more information and to register!

Also, if you are able to offer a ride, either to or from the Getaway, please fill out this survey so that rides can be coordinated. We’re also in need of rides for those who are doing the Saturday-only option, so if you are signed up for that and can offer a ride, please fill out the survey as well. Thanks!

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

The Annual Clothing Swap will be happening this Sunday, November 18th after the service (the Brazilian congregation has a conference that weekend and will not be having their service at their usual time). Have any questions about the swap? Check out the FAQ page. If you have any donations you would like to make to the swap, please drop them off in the bin outside the social hall over the next few Sundays. If you would like to help with the swap in any way, please contact Cat Sherrill.

Midwinter Play

Christ the King Somerville performs an original piece of theater entitled "Midwinter," designed to present an alternative to the often nostalgic representations of Advent and Christmas. Using scripture, song, and movement, the all-female cast tell the stories of the men and women who are named in the narrative of the birth of Christ, as well as the story of all of us who are longing for reconciliation and peace. Join us for an exploration of mystery, lamentation, longing, hope, and joy. Tickets for the Saturday showing are sold out, but are still available for Sunday the 16th at 7:30pm. Tickets are free and can be reserved here, where you can also find location info. Children are welcome, but recommended age 6 and up. Contact Ruthie Buescher with questions.

  • Elect Deacons

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!
