Christ the King Committees
We are called to use our God given talents and to not bury them in the sand for safe keeping, as we heard a few weeks ago in the Gospel. To be active is to give back, therefore I’m asking each of you to prayerfully consider being on one of our four committees here at Christ the King. We only meet 5 times over fall, winter and spring and break for the summer. It is through these four committees that you help facilitate every aspect of our community of faith. Come bring your ideas and let’s move forward in planting the seeds of God’s vineyard!
