Christ with us
The mission of Congregational Ministry at Christ the King is to show Christ’s love for the social and physical needs of the members of our church congregation. We invite you to engage with us in support of ongoing fellowship, special projects, and church volunteer opportunities.
Upcoming Events
Basic CPR class. On April 27th another Friends & Family CPR class will be offered by Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Note: this is not a certification class but helpful training for emergency situations. A new sign up sheet has been posted in the hallway. Class size is limited to 12. Children’s Fishing Derby - morning of April 27th. Sign up required online, see church email for the link or contact the office. There is a registration fee because space is limited. Open to kids 4-14. Adult volunteers are appreciated - please see Kirsten Balancia (Missions Chair). Lutheran Youth Night - This month we host the circuit meeting for Lutheran Youth. In addition to fun and food, we’ll explore challenges to teen mental health with a licensed clinical social worker. Youth in junior and senior high are welcome. Call the church office for specifics. |

Looking to connect? Ongoing help is appreciated in the following areas:
Host the Fellowship Coffee Hour
Sundays after service we enjoy "coffee &" together after service and before Bible Study begins. Overseen by teams of two people/two families at a time, Fellowship volunteers prepare coffee and set out snacks, then clean up afterwards. New volunteers are paired with veterans for training.
The schedule is drafted quarterly.

Join the Meal Train
Help provide meals to Christ the King members who need a bit of support after surgery, bereavement, birth of a child, etc. Scheduled by announcement then volunteers fill time slots via MT website using a private link. |
Serve at Funeral Meals
When Christ the King members host funeral meals in the church hall (food is typically catered), funeral meal team members help set up, serve, and clean-up so families can focus on grieving. Scheduled as needed. |

Sponsor altar & narthex flowers
Sign up for available dates on the calendar board in the narthex. Suggested donation is $35 (if date is shared, $17.50 per sponsor). To sponsor with a particular endorsement, please alert the church office and we'll do our best to get it in the bulletin. Endorsements typically read as follows: “Altar flowers are given today by (name) in celebration of (anniversary, birthday).” You may also sponsor flowers anonymously or simply to praise God! When sponsoring, please put “5 pm” to keep flowers on display for that service. If desired, flowers may be picked up after the designated service (see chancel member listed in the bulletin) or later by arrangement. Please return (washed) any vases. If you don’t indicate when you’ll pick them up, or you don’t want to take the flowers home, at Pastor’s discretion they will be used for home visits, encouragement, or for the office, narthex, or fellowship hall.
At Christmas and Easter, we join together and display potted plants - a separate signup will be provided. Thank you!
