CTK Communiqué
December 2, 2016
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them" John
6:44
"I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow." 1 Corinthians 3:6
Dear Christ the King Vineyard Church Family,
December is here and we are expecting so many families and friends to be visiting our church this month. I would like you all to pray that God the Father would be drawing people to himself and using us to plant the seed of the Gospel in so many hearts and lives. Please also pray about who God would have you invite to one of our church's Christmas events. One invite can change someone's life. 
Here are few events and gatherings to pray for this month:
- Saturday, December 3rd: Breakfast with St. Nick and Bethlehem Journey from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.
- Our Family Christmas service with our learning center preschool at our 10:45 am service on December 18th.
- Our two Christmas Eve services at 5:00 and 7:00 pm on December 24th.
Praying Together,
Pastor Dwight

Thanks again and may God richly bless you and yours this Thanksgiving.
