Our thanks go to everyone who took part in Gospel - Youth Sunday

The Youth, the Musicians, the Parents, the Sunday School teachers, the Staff, and the Tech Crew. You made this event a wonderful and memorable experience. We couldn't have done it without ALL of you.

We appreciate the generosity and kindness of the shoppers at Redner's Fresh Market in Hickory, who donated food items worth more than $2500 for our Giving Boxes. Our 15 COK members did a wonderful job of welcoming them, giving them a list of foods to buy, and expressing our gratitude. Thank you for making this food drive a success.

It was a wonderful evening at the chili supper on Sunday night. We enjoyed the company of Rev. Tanya Ward and two other members from Grace PC. We also welcomed Clarence Alston, Doris Wilson and others from Knox PC. We gathered in the Genesis Room with 46 people in total. As Rev. Wade said, "We are family". And we truly felt that way by the end of the night.

We had a great turnout for this year’s Trunk or Treat.

Thanks to everyone who helped organize, decorated trunks, and donated candy.

Harford County is a relatively safe and prosperous place to live for many; but lack of affordable housing, the inability to make a living wage, and the varied, personal reasons someone may experience homelessness makes this issue ever present in our community. In fact, we have helped transform the lives of over five thousand people in the span of 34 years, helped break the cycle of poverty for many, yet the issue of homelessness persists in our community.

But it’s bigger than us and the people we serve. Homelessness is one of the most consequential social issues that can affect a community, with economic, safety, and public health implications wherever homelessness is present. That's why this year’s theme is “It’s Bigger Than Us – Investing in the Future of Our Community.”

Here is our Calendar of Events for the month. Please click each one for more details!

One way we serve God at Christ Our King is by partnering with the Christianville Ministry in Haiti. We also ask you to keep them in your prayers as they share the gospel and love of Christ with the students.

Our last school year continued through July of this year due to delays throughout the school year because of insecurity in the country. After a short summer break, we opened again 10/2/23! We have a lot of obstacles ahead of us this year with the exorbitant costs of operating in Haiti these days and pray God provides for our needs so we can keep our doors open and serving the kids in our communities!

Over the summer, the CVET program was reimagined by our team and restarted with a spirit of volunteerism. Community members were expressing their desire for learning opportunities, yet our organization didn't have funding for this additional programming. But some employees and teachers raised their hands to offer their services for free along with their limited personal finances for supplies until support for the program was available. Today, classes are filled to the brim, and requests to enroll exceed capacity. Students are excited for the opportunity to learn new skills, socialize with peers and have hope for the future!
