Questions for Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30

1.  When are we to praise God?
2.  How can people praise God when they are discouraged?
3.  What kind of burdens is Jesus able to carry for us?

All children ages Pre-K to 9th grade will need to be registered for the 2017/2018 Christian Education school year.  There will once again be no fee for Sunday School - but this year we are going to ask you to register your child(ren) so we can better prepare for class.  For the other nights, the fees will remain the same: $30 for Monday night, and $80 for Wednesday.  You can find the link in the Christian Education tab on our website
www.christ-the-king.org or go directly to the registration:
There is also a document on our website titled "Online Registration Instructions" - this is a great step by step guide in case you have any problems.  Do yourself a favor and check this off your to-do list before Summer is in full swing!"
