Weekly Announcements

 MISSION FESTIVAL: On September 27th, we will be having our annual mission festival. We will be inviting various representatives from the missions we support to set up booths that share with us their mission efforts. During the Bible Class hour, these representatives will be given a short time to address our people and avail themselves to questions anyone may have. We invite everyone to come and hear how our gifts are making a difference!

UPCOMING INSTALLATION: The second vice-president of the Texas District Pastor Larry Krueger and the District Evangelist Development Leader Deaconess Noemi Guerra will be present on September 27th for the installation of Texas District Deaconess Intern Laura Sanders. Pastor Krueger will be officiating the rite on behalf of the Texas District as Laura will serve under the district the next four years. The installation will be at our 10:45 a.m. service. The Texas District invites you to a reception to celebrate with Laura in our fellowship hall. The reception is sponsored by the Texas District.

ELDERS SEEKING INPUT: The Board of Elders are asking for input from the members of CTK about moving service times to 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. If the change was to happen, Sunday School would run from about 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. Please let an elder know your thoughts on this. The hope is that such a time change will increase our growth.

OFFICERS NEEDED: It is that time of year where we are looking for people interested in serving Christ the King by being a church officer. This year we need people to run for President, Secretary, Council-At-Large, and for positions of the Board of Elders, Social Ministry and Outreach, Trustee, Education, and Stewardship. Our nominating committee members are Jill Kasper, Tom Batchelor, Jon Bruinsma, and Pastor Raebel. Don’t wait to be asked! If the Spirit moves you, submit your name to one of the nominating committee members!

MEN’S RETREAT 2026: Our plans for the 2026 Men’s Retreat have now been finalized. The dates are October 2-4, 2026. We will be staying at the Best Western 810 N US Highway 75, Denison, TX. 75020. Our studies and fellowship will take place at the Gohr’s residence at 162 Lakeshore Drive, Pottsboro, TX 75076.  This year our study book is titled, “Courageous Fathers”. We will again team up with Habitat for Humanity for our service project. Costs for this retreat will be $330.00 for those wanting a room to themselves and $230.00 for those willing to have a roommate. It will be up to you to arrange your roommate. This will cover all meals, lodging, snacks, and beverages. If you plan to attend, please register for the event by writing a check to the church for the amount listed either for single room or one with a roommate. Registration deadline is September 20, 2026. For more information, contact Pastor Raebel.

SMALL GROUP: You should soon hear from your small group leaders. They will tell you time and place of when and where your group will be meeting. If their time doesn’t work for you, please check the scheduled time and places of other small groups to see if one of those is better for you. That schedule is posted on the bulletin board. If you don’t hear from a small group leader by the end of the month and wish to be part of a group, notify the office and we will be sure to get you in touch with a group.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SERVICE PROJECT: This fall our children and youth Sunday School classes will be collecting different items each month to assemble "Blessing Boxes." These boxes will contain different non-perishable items and will be given out to local food banks. Check with your child's Sunday School teacher to see what their class is assigned to bring.  

CHILDREN’S CHURCH: We will be starting back up children's church in the 10:45AM service on September 13th! This is a time for kids preschool (4 years old) - 3rd grade to come learn a special lesson just for them. Kids are dismissed before the sermon and return before communion. We appreciate our dedicated volunteers who made this program a success! 

TODAY’S ALTAR FLOWERS: Today’s flowers are given by the Matt & Kati Kelm celebrating their Wedding Anniversary!
