Back-to-School Supply Drive
Christ the King is participating in the Reach Out Lakota Back-to-School supply outreach. Reach Out Lakota expects to serve more than 800 students this year. To participate, pick up a card or two in the Gathering Area, purchase the supplies requested, and return them to church by Sunday, August 2. There is also an option to make a direct donation at reachoutlakota.org. Cash donations are used to purchase bulk items at lower cost and without sales tax. For more information, contact Dan. 
Pitch In for Adena
Christ the King Drama Camp is partnering with our Outreach ministry during Drama Camp week (July 19-26) to collect snacks for students at nearby Adena Elementary. Sometimes students need a healthy snack to get them back on track during the school day. Everyone is invited to bring in a box of granola bars, breakfast bars, Goldfish snacks, or mints to help fill their resource pantry before school starts. Drop donations in the bin in the Gathering Area. |
You are invited to participate in ministry to those outside our congregation.
