Serving Our Neighbors
Feeding Our Neighbors in Need
During Lent we partnered with Faith Alliance to Feed Our Neighbors in Need. Over the course of a few weeks, we collected 43 bags of groceries totaling 323.5 pounds. These groceries were delivered to the Faith Community United Methodist Church Food Pantry. Family Promise
Join with faith communities from around Butler County in providing temporary housing for homeless families. Families stay at Christ the King several times a year for a week at a time. You are invited to participate by setting up/taking down bedrooms, preparing meals, helping with homework, spending the night with families, and caring for linens. Learn more about Family Promise. Contact Susan for more information. Stepping Forward Community Dinners
Second Tuesday of alternating months: February, April, June, August, October, December Christ the King volunteers join with Faith Alliance volunteers to prepare food, host dinner and clean up at Faith Community United Methodist Church six times each year.
