Dear faithful People of Christ the King Church:

 

By the time this is read, voting will be near to its 2026 close. As we await results, I commend this prayer to us all:

 

Everlasting God, source of all liberty,

before whom every earthly ruler must bow and bend the knee,

we lay our nation before you as we prepare

to learn the results of this election.

Breathe upon us your Spirit of wisdom and discernment.

Grant all who seek public office the mind of Christ,

who came not to be served but to serve,

and to give his life for the freedom of the oppressed.

Hold before us those who face uncertain futures

or who have no voice in our political process.

Spare us from the crushing weight of cynicism.

Give us grace to speak courageously but with love,

without which our words are noise and we are nothing.

Gather us together under the cross,

where, in all of our difference, we can stand as one people,

redeemed in Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

 

Wednesday evening at 6:45 (November 4), we will gather for Evening Prayer (vespers) to pray for our nation, our people, our leaders, and one another. You may access the livestream of this service here.

 

At 10:00 a.m., Saturday, November 7, 2026 we will celebrate the Holy Eucharist and give God thanks as we remember the faith and life of Suzanne Alicia Locheed. A reception in the Parish Hall will follow.

 

Below is the final financial pledge result of our 2026 Stewardship Campaign:

 

134 members of the Christ the King Church have pledged:

$892,012 to the mission and ministry of this congregation.

23 members have pledged

$40,600 toward our Capital Fund goal of $200,000.

 

Thank you to all who have pledged!

There still is time to pledge for those who have not yet done so.

 

 

Peace, joy, and courage!

 

Mandy
