CTK Social Justice: Voter Information Table: Sundays in October
The US Conference of Catholic Bishops in its Faithful Citizenship document has long stated that voting is not only a privilege, it is a responsibility. In support of this, the CTK Social Justice Team is hosting a voter information table in the Gathering Space in October, beginning October 6. The table will have information on how to register, absentee voting, mail-in voting, and how to find your polling place, in addition to many other details on voting. There will be sample ballots and Q & A sheets from the League of Women Voters. We will also have a sign-up sheet for people who need babysitting help or a ride to their polling place. Please stop by the table and pick up any materials you need.
Youth Ministry Bonfire: Oct 29
Could You or a Love One benefit from Meals on Wheels?
Four neighborhood churches join together to deliver nutritious Meals on Wheels at lunchtime to elderly and disabled individuals in the SW Minneapolis.
Meals on Wheels helps people remain in their homes as long as possible by delivering meals right to their doors, and providing safety checks and friendly interaction with volunteers.
The SW Minneapolis program requests a $4.50 fee per meal. Government assistance may be available. Please contact the SW Minneapolis Meals on Wheels program’s referral line at 612-623-3363, Monday through Friday from 8:30am – 4:30pm for more information.
PLAY IN THE BELL CHOIR!
Did you know that Christ the King has had a bell choir for nearly 20 years? For almost two decades, they’ve been enhancing our liturgical music and elevating our mood with their cheerful tones.
Eleven ringers are needed to operate the full three octaves of hand bells.
Because some of the ringers have recently “retired” from the ensemble, we currently need at least six more musicians to fill out the ensemble.
What skills or gifts are required?
Ability to read music is highly admired though not strictly required. Ability to play in tempo is important.
What is the time commitment?
Attend regular rehearsals which are held on Saturday mornings, 11 AM to 12:30 PM. The bell choir also customarily arrives one hour before Mass to prepare for liturgy when they are scheduled to play.
Interested? Give Moya a ring ???? at the parish office, or email her at: mmmathews@ctkmpls.org.

Outreach Volunteer Needs at CTK:
Meals on Wheels Wedneday Driver:
We are currently in need of a Wednesday Driver/Day Captain to deliver meals in our Southwest area and nearby Richfield. Pick up is at 11:00am, it only takes 1 to 1-1/2 hours, and we drive just once every 5 weeks. Upcoming Wednesday dates are Oct 16 and Nov 20.
The Day Captain part is simple - you remind your drivers a week or 2 ahead that MOW is coming up and see if they can drive or if they need to find a sub.
We also are in need of a few more Substitute Drivers for any of our driving days Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays, every 5 weeks as listed above. If anyone can add their name to the list of possible subs, it would be greatly appreciated.
Please contact Mary Colbert, CTK Meals Coordinator, mcolbert712@gmail.com, 612-554-2804 or Janell McBeain.
