October 29, 2017 Teaching Christian Values Almost eighty years ago, the mem- bers of Christ the King Parish recog- nized the need for a Catholic school as one of the various missions of the parish. These parishioners, as well as the many teachers, administra- tors, and families in our area, have continued to support this crucial need for a Catholic school in North- west Detroit. Inquiring families often ask what makes Christ the King different from other schools in the area. The an- swer is simple: Christ the King edu- cates the WHOLE child by focusing on the body, mind, and spirit. We do this by making our Christian values the foundation for educating each child. We not only discuss these val- ues; we put them into practice for the students to experience. As Christians, we are called to re- spect human life and the dignity of all people. We teach our students that we are all created by God as unique individuals and focus on the numerous ways that each person is important in our school, our homes, and our greater community. We practice service to others by working to provide the basic essentials of hu- man rights by partnering with St. Christine’s Soup Kitchen and Food Pantry, in both serving food and con- tributing to the food pantry outreach program. We also support Catholic Relief Services through our annual rice bowl collection. We teach respect for all of God’s crea- tion by teaching how to be true stewards of the Earth. We focus on making the world a better place by working together to keep our cam- pus a clean and welcoming place. We also recycle our paper as one way that we are able to help reduce waste and make our environment a better place for our own and future generations. As Christians, we are called to love each other and ourselves. We teach our students to treat others as they want to be treated. In times that we forget this practice, we are able to turn to God and our faith as re- minders of our beliefs. We work to peacefully solve conflicts within our classroom and school communities. We focus on forgiveness and teach- ing the concept of free will and making choices. We recognize when we are wrong and work to improve ourselves. We promote justice by recognizing that we are all equal and all created in God’s image. We work to promote peace and equality rather than hate and prejudice. We discuss the current events in our world and what we can do as students and as a school to make our world a better place. Faithfulness, honesty, and integrity are also key components in our educa- tional program. We stress the importance of honesty and personal in- tegrity. We are faithful in our service to God and each other. We hold the expecta- tion for all of our students of per- sonal integrity by being truthful and trustworthy. By teaching these values, our ulti- mate goal is to be partners with our parents in the education of their most precious gifts, their children. This is the essence of who we are as a Catholic school. Our focus is on teaching our shared Christian val- ues to all students who come to our school, regardless of their church affiliation.

Teaching Christian Values Almost eighty years ago, the mem-bers of Christ the King Parish recog-nized the need for a Catholic school as one of the various missions of the parish.

At the celebration of Bap-tism, parents publicly affirm their decision to raised their child in the faith of the church.

The Wisdom of Pope Francis “God is love”. His is not a sentimental, emotional kind of love but the love of the Father who is the origin of all life, the love of the Son who dies on
the Cross and is raised, the love of the Spirit who renews human be-ings and the world. Thinking that God is love does us so much good, because it teaches us to love, to give ourselves to others as Jesus gave himself to us and walks with us. Jesus walks beside us on the road through life. 5/2013

November is Almost Here!
As much as we probably don’t want to think about it, winter is on the way. As the tempera-ture cools down, here at Christ the King we start collecting coats and cold weather clothing for those in need. Soon we will have large boxes in the church to collect your donations. Whatever we collect will be given away on Thanksgiving Day. We would also like to ask for your donations of hot food for Thanksgiv-ing so that those coming for clothing can have a bite to eat.
Another Way to Help Those in Need
On November 19 we will host our annual Pancake Breakfast. Come and have breakfast after our 10:45 Mass. There is no set price, but a free-will offering is ap-
preciated, because all the proceeds go to the work of the St. Vincent dePaul Committee. Your donation will help someone in our neighborhood to have a nice Christmas. In addition, at the Pancake Breakfast, our Giving Tree will be up. This is your chance to purchase a gift for someone in need. Please participate in any or all of these very worth pro-jects.
The Christmas Garage Sale Needs YOU!
Please keep in mind that all the proceeds from the Christmas Garage Sale also go to St. Vincent dePaul. If you have any Christ-mas items that you are not planning to use, please consider donating them to the Christmas Garage Sale. If you have deco-rated your home for many years, you know how expensive it can be when you are just starting out or when money is tight. Please share what you can. Ben is happy to accept your donations any time.
BIG THANKS… To everyone who helped to make our Egg Roll Sale a grand success! To the rollers and fry-ers, and chop-pers and eaters—Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Christ the King Family, Company is coming soon....and we pray there will be lots of it! As you have been hearing, Christ the King will be hosting a Mass Mob on November 12th at 10:45am with a special coffee hour to fol-low. We were selected because we have one of the only four remain-ing Catholic grade schools in the city! This Mass will be a terrific way to let everyone know about our special diverse parish and that the doors to our wonderful school are still open. The media has been alerted, the Mass infor-mation has been posted all over social media, alumni and former parishioners have been invited to come back home! Now all we need is Y-O-U! This Mass Mob is set to be a very special day for our school and par-ish! What a perfect way to give of your time and talent! If you have-n’t already, please sign the board at the Burt Road entrance and stay tuned for more information! Thank You!
