Altar Servers

Pope John Paul II said that Altar Servers are “ . . . servants of Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest.  Therefore, you are called in a particular way to be young friends of Jesus.”

All boys and girls in grades 5 to 12 who are members of Christ the King Church and who have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion are invited to participate as Altar Servers at the Saturday, Sunday, weekday and Holy Day Masses.

Training sessions are required for every NEW server.  All NEW altar servers entering 5th grade and up, must attend one training session.  All sessions are conducted in the church, and parents must attend with their child.  Contact Tim Hennelly for questions ctkaltarserver@ctklr.org

Music Ministry

Have you thought about joining the CTK Choir?

The Music Ministry of Christ the King Church is always interested in

vocalists wishing to participate in the choir!

CTK CHOIR NEEDS YOU!!!!

The CTK choir resumes singing on Sunday, September 11th at the 10:00 am Mass. Rehearsals begin Wednesday, September 7th in the Choir Room at 6:00 pm.
A significant number of choir members, for various reasons, did not return once the choir was cleared to come back post-COVID. To continue to provide exceptional music as we have for over 20 years, it’s imperative we add both male and female vocalists! Please consider joining us!
There will be 2 (two) informal meet/greet opportunities for new prospective choir members on:
Wednesday, August 17th
OR
Wednesday, August 31st
at 6:00 p.m. in the choir rehearsal room, located on the 2nd floor of the Ministries Building. THERE IS NO AUDITION to join the choir. This meeting is simply an opportunity to learn what we “do” in choir and what is expected if you decide to join the choir. If you have sung in choir previously at CTK and wish to return, by all means, please do. For returning members, it isn’t necessary to attend one of the meetings designed for prospective members, but please contact me and let me know of your intent to rejoin the choir.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Ushers

As we seek to demonstrate God’s love to our guests and our Church family, our ushers play an important role. Our ushers greet and assist seating those attending Mass. They also gather the offering and distribute bulletins or other information following Mass. Ushers are scheduled on a rotating basis at their preferred Mass time. Volunteers are always welcome. We desire to make this important area of service even better. Please call the Church Office for more information.

The Ushers Ministry needs you!
