June 30Christ the King Mini Farmers Market is open after Masses in the church vestibule. The way it will work is, parishioners bring their excess garden produce to place on a common table. Parishioners at large will then make a free will offering for the fresh produce to take home. Saint Vincent de Paul will coordinate this, and all proceeds will go to the Holy Family Food Pantry. This is a win-win-win exchange. Your excess produce is not wasted. Our senior members and others, who cannot get to the farmers market in town and may not be able to afford retail prices, get fresh garden produce. Holy Family Food Pantry can feed the poor through our efforts. Together we praise the Lord for his blessings!

June 30THE CTK BICYCLING TEAM is forming to ride the Capital City Century, Sunday, September 10. You do not have to ride the full 100 miles. Check out www.spfldcycling.org. Email Father Joe, ring@ctkparish.org and we’ll create a team list to let you know about group rides; know that we use the term Team loosely. There are no try-outs, no time trials; we’ve been pretty casual. Our practice has been to ride to Chatham on the trail on Saturday mornings for those who can make it.
