Welcome to Meals on Wheels and Brownie Troop #1670

Beginning October 1, the Meals on Wheels program will be serving about 70 resi-

unteers will be here at Christ the King from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m., Monday through

Healing Service
Sunday, October 18
The practice of anointing with oil is an ancient rite of the church, dating back to
the earliest apostles. For many years, Christ the King had a team of people who
prayed for healing, both during special healing services and following the service
on Sundays.
Tradition has it St. Luke was a physician, and October 18 is the Feast Day of St.
Luke. This year, we will offer the laying on of hands and anointing as part of our
services on October 18. If you have interest in being a part of a healing ministry,
