ONE LAST THING!
NEW PROJECTS IN A NEW YEAR
Several new projects are under way here at Christ the King that will update and enhance our building, particularly the main entryway, coat closet, kitchen and rest rooms. Many of you have already responded generously to cover the costs of these projects (THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS!), and our "remodel team" has already made a lot of headway - you can see some of their progress on Sunday when you come to church.
