ChristNet Ministry
Christ the King is one of over forty churches in the Downriver area who participate with ChristNet annually. ChristNet's seasonal rotating Nighttime Shelter Program is a cooperative, interfaith, community-based effort to provide temporary overnight shelter to homeless men, women, and children.
CTK, again hosted a week in January, 2020 in the Fellowship Center on Pennsylvania Rd. CTK volunteers provided love, food and shelter to approximately thirty people starting at 6pm until 6am each day. Various CTK groups from our church prepared a delicious, hot evening meal each night. Showers and many donations were available during their stay. In the morning, the guests were served breakfast and given a bag lunch to take with them.
Please set a reminder on your calendar now for next year and prayerfully consider helping with this ministry as many, many volunteers are needed to have a successful week. Please look for sign-up posters starting after Christmas, as well as requests for needed donations in the weekly bulletin announcements.
