Pentecost Sunday is Sunday, May 19, 2024

Christ the King Church is pleased to offer two Pentecost Sunday Services on Sunday, May 19, 2024 at 9AM (Traditional) and 10:30AM (Contemporary).

Pentecost Sunday, also known as Whitsunday, is celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. The word “Pentecost” is derived from the Greek term “Pentēkostē,” meaning “fiftieth,” as this holy day falls on the fiftieth day after Easter Sunday.

It’s origins are in the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, or Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks, celebrated the first-fruits of the wheat harvest. In the New Testament, Pentecost is seen as the descent of the Holy Spirit creating the first-fruits of salvation in Jesus Christ, where 3,000 were saved, the birth of the New Testament Church, and its mission to take the Gospel to all nations and races.

Easter Sunday Services March 31, 2024

Christ the King Church is pleased to offer two Easter Sunday Services on Sunday, March 31, 2024 at 9AM (Traditional) and 10:45AM (Contemporary).

Easter marks the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, three days after his crucifixion. The resurrection is considered to be the ultimate proof of Jesus’ divinity and the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin and death, and provided a path for believers to have eternal life. The celebration of Easter is therefore a time of great joy, hope and renewal.

The season of Eastertide lasts 50 days until the Day of Pentecost on May 19, 2024.

Good Friday Service March 29, 2024

Maundy Thursday Service March 28, 2024

Christ the King Church is pleased to offer a Maundy Thursday Communion Service on Thursday, March 28, 2024 at 6:30PM.

Communion will be served. There will be no music. The service is expected to last about an hour.

The service will include foot-washing, which is of course, optional. The service concludes with the stripping of the Table. This practice involves the removal of all adornments and decorations from the Table, leaving it bare and stark. This is meant to symbolize the abandonment and desertion of Jesus by his disciples after the Last Supper, and it serves as a reminder to Christians of the need for humility and repentance. At the end of the service, the people depart in silence.

Prayer Vigil Thursday, March 28, 2024-Friday, March 29, 2024

Christ the King Church is pleased to offer a Prayer Vigil Thursday, March 28, 2024 from 8PM (starting after the Maundy Thursday Service) until Friday, March 29, 2024 at Noon, the time Jesus was thought to be crucified. The Vigil will conclude with the Good Friday Service at 12PM.

This is a time to pray and be with Jesus as he struggled and sweat blood in the Garden of Gethsemane while his disciples slept, was arrested, stood trial before the Roman authorities, was mocked by the crowd, abandoned by most of his followers, and was crucified. (Matthew 26:36-27:50)

Signups for prayer shifts will be available in the narthex of the church on Palm Sunday.
