This is a very important month at Christ the King.
It is the month in which we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (May 11th).
On May 18th four of our young people will be confirmed.
We will give thanks for our mothers and all who provide motherly care (Mother's Day).
We will conclude our first series of Alpha dinners (May 13th).
We will join in a 'helping hands' project to begin work on a member's home (May 17th).
Our men will get together for a Men's Night Out at the church (May 10th).
Another great year of our preschool will come to a close (May 23rd).
We will celebrate the graduations of our high school and college students (May 25th).
And this is just a sampling of what goes on regularly in the life of our congregation.
In the real world of the church all of this requires the participation and commitment of numerous people working side by side.
And it also requires money. For example, our monthly mortgage on our new building is almost $10,000. Our weekly 'need' just to make all our budgeted expenses is $10,980.
Where will this come from? From us.
That's why it's so important that we all prayerfully determine our pledged offering amount and make our contributions faithfully.
Peace & Joy!
