MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY 'Edge'
Sunday Mass at 9:00 am
Youth Group 10:15am-12:15 pm Sunday Mornings
Middle School (MS) Youth Group, 'Edge', is a place for 5th-8th grade youth to come and explore their faith in a fun and welcoming environment. At Edge we have a large focus on Evangelization. We break open the Word of God in creative ways and learn the truths of life and our faith through activities, games, prayer experiences, building relationships and much more. Middle school youth are not children, but they're not yet really adults, either. They have a unique and important perspective on life. We at Christ the King want the MS youth to know the valuable role they play in the life of the Church. Above all, our goal is always to lead them to Christ by enabling them in an Encounter of the person of Jesus, through developing relationships with them and journeying alongside them in their Life and faith. Our Edge Program occurs on Sunday mornings after the 9am mass from 10:15 am-12:15 pm and we meet in Room A in the Parish Life Center
CONFIRMATION PROGRAM
6:00pm - 8:00pm Wednesday Evenings
Our Confirmation program is a fun, interactive, prayerful program titled 'Decision Point’ With this curriculum we have a large focus on prayer, sacraments, scripture, community and service. The theology of Confirmation informs us that Confirmation is about God setting us apart, choosing us and equipping us as Priest, Prophet & King for a great mission to build up His Kingdom. It is also about us, with our free will, freely accepting, responding and cooperating with God’s gifts, graces and mission for us, as Mary and the saints did. Our hope is that this program will not only prepare young Catholics for the Sacrament of Confirmation but also teach them and inspire them to respond and cooperate with God's Grace in all the circumstances of their daily lives, long after their Confirmation day. We also hope that they will be able to begin with confidence this new stage of their relationship with Jesus and a life of service inside and outside of the life of the church. Confirmation youth are also invited to our MS Youth Group. Our Confirmation Sessions are on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-8:00 pm and we meet in Room A of the Parish Life Center.
HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY 'Life Night'
Sunday Mass at 5:00 pm;
Youth Group 6:15-8:30 pm, Sunday nights
The GOAL of our High School Youth Group is to create a fun and enjoyable environment in which teens can be themselves, have a safe place to work through the difficult things they face daily in the light of Truth and Faith, help them build healthy and strong relationships with other like minded teens and most importantly, to enable them in an Encounter with the Person of Jesus Christ and His Church. With these goals we hope to empower the teens in Discipleship. Our Life Nights are centered on the Sunday Eucharist, beginning with the 5 pm Mass and followed immediately by a High School Youth Night from 6:15-8:30 pm. Pouring out from the Mass, the Youth Night is a place where teens can come to pray, share, receive support, experience community, discuss and be challenged to live out their faith authentically as well as being encouraged to participate in a life of service. High School Youth Group meets in the Youth Ministry Room in the Christ the King School. All are welcome. Hope to see you there!
