- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Twenty-fifth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
-
- The child whom Jesus embraces
in today’s Gospel was a marginalized person in the ancient
world. By asking his disciples to welcome a child, Jesus directs
all of us to care for the least among us.
- Adults: Do I know people who are struggling
because of loss, sickness, or economic hardship? How can I serve
them?
Children: Do I realize that those who I do not
like are still loved by God?
STEWARDSHIP
OF TIME AND TALENTS
Last weekend we celebrated our annual Sign-up
-- Sign-up to get involved, to meet new people, to participate
in new activities, to become active members of the body of Christ
here at Christ the King.
This weekend we’re offering another opportunity
to sign-up. If you haven’t returned the cards you’ve
received in the mail, please do so this week. If you haven’t
received a card, take one from the table in the Gathering Space
and check out the ministries and activities CTK offers -- and
get involved! You’ll be glad you did!
CATECHETICAL
SUNDAY -- Today!
This year’s theme is “Catechesis
and the Proclamation of the Word.” Those who have
been designated by the community to serve as catechists will
be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Catechetical
Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon the role that
each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith
and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an
opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission
as a community of faith.
