CHRIST THE KING ADDS NEW STAFF:
WELCOME TO JU, CHRIS, AND PATRICK
|
|
|
|
Lots of good news on the personnel front: Christ the King this week welcomes new staff members Dr. Ju Kim and Patrick Williams to the team and celebrates with Dr. Chris Haire as he expands his role and becomes our new, part-time minister of traditional music.

Patrick lives in Garner and will be CTK’s new, full-time communications specialist. In his new role, he is responsible for video production and editing, including the ever popular “Big 3” announcements during Sunday worship and for managing our social media accounts. He will also produce and edit the church’s print publications, most notably the Weekly News and the quarterly TOGETHER magazine.
Dr. Ju Hyun Kim of Durham is our new, part-time organist. Today is his first Sunday playing at our traditional services. He will also cover Wednesday evening midweek services and accompany the chancel choir. Dr. Kim hails from South Korea, and in his day job is a data scientist with a PhD in Economics.
Dr. Chris Haire, who is coming up on his one-year anniversary as director of the chancel choir, is expanding his role and will serve as the part-time minister of traditional music.

Bold women preach on March 5
|
|
|
|
|
Sunday, March 5 is Bold Women's Sunday. Come and hear Pastor Athena and Rachel Geddes preach on Shiphrah and Puah, midwives working for Pharaoh. When they are ordered to kill all baby boys, they refuse the orders of the empire in order to serve God. This story from Exodus is one about fear of God, rebellion against evil forces, and the danger and beauty of birth. By letting a boy named Moses live, the Bold Women in Exodus upset the empire and set in motion a movement from slavery into freedom.
