Stain Glass and Woodwork

In the past week we have also had some exciting work done on the church. We had two more stain glass windows installed. Thanks to our handy carpenter. The windows were designed and made by Ruth Betts. As some of you are aware we decided a while back to follow the theme of the 7 sacraments for our windows. The last two that were completed were Unction and Holy Orders. Thank you to Mrs Ruth for all your hard work!

We also had the two supporting columns which are at the entrance to the Nave wrapped with some beautiful oak trim. Once again, by our amazing carpenter, the dear Bob Father.

The pictures just don't show the true beauty of our several completed projects! You should stop by and see it in person! Everyone is welcome!
Mass is at 10:30AM on Sunday, 7AM on Wednesday and 12:15PM on Friday, with Evening Prayer at 7PM on Thursday. See you there!

ACOLYTE TRAINING!

Exciting things are happening in Liberty Kentucky! This past Sunday Fr. Bob began training another group of young acolytes. Judah, Ezra, Caleb and Helena have joined the valiant ranks of altar servers. Fr Bob reminded us on Sunday that we are never too young to start serving our King, nor do we ever grow too old to serve our glorious King. He encouraged the whole congregation to participate more in the service and life of the church in a new way by volunteering to be an acolyte or helping with oblations.

In the words of Saint Claire of Assisi,

Be a SUPERHERO.....Save the Babies!!!!

Save your change to save the babies! Mother's Day thru Father's Day our congregation participates in a fundraiser in union with the Pro-life movement because we believe every human life is sacred. As Ronald Reagan once said, "We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child!" On Mother's Day we pass out baby bottles to each family. The goal being to save your change to fill this baby bottle Mother's day thru Father's day. Come Father's day we collect the bottles and donate all the money raised to a Crisis Pregnancy Center near us, to help support those in a crisis pregnancy. Join us in this fight to recognize the dignity of every human being from conception! Save the BABIES!!!

HOLY WEEK!!!

Well folks we made it back around to Holy Week again! Lent has flown by once more. It seems as though only yesterday I was attending an early morning Mass on Ash Wednesday to receive my ashes and begin my lenten fast. This week will be a busy one at Christ the King as several extra services will be added to our week.

One note, that did not make it to our bulletin, is that we will be doing an all night vigil again this year. The vigil will begin immediately following our Maundy Thursday service and will last through 8AM on Good Friday Morning. A schedule has been made up dividing the night into hour long sections for us to watch and pray with Christ. It is a completely voluntary act of devotion and worship to our Lord. We have it in hour long segments remembering Jesus' words to his disciples while in the garden, "Could you not watch one hour?" With this in mind I challenge you to join us in our vigil for an hour this coming Maundy Thusday. Join us as we watch and pray with Christ!


This year after our Easter cleaning on Holy Saturday at 10AM we will be sharing lunch together followed by an egg hunt outside, (weather permitting). Please be sure to mark your calendars and come on out. It is going to be an exciting morning as we clean and decorate the church in preparation for celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord! We look forward to seeing you there!

To finish up this blog post I have a few pictures from Palm Sunday. Our Sunday started out dismal and gray with pouring rain, however by 10:30AM the rain vanished, sun came out and it turned into a simply glorious day. We were able to begin our service outside as planned standing in the pleasant spring sunshine, as we waved palms and sang 'Hosanna in the Highest!'

Our acolites enjoying the sunshine as we prepare to start the service. :)

Blessing the palms.

"Hosanna in the Highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

Gone Missing or Just Off Grid?

Howdy y'all! This blog post is about recent thoughts/questions that have been brought to my attention by a close friend concerning Fr. Bob's absence on social media. For those of you who are on social media you have probably noticed that our dear Father has scarcely made a dozen appearances on facebook in the past 6 months. Thus we have our question of the day, "Has Fr. Bob gone missing?" The answer is short and sweet. No, he has not gone missing, he's just gone off the grid! As some of you are aware last August the Lemmon family moved into their new house, less than a mile down the road from their former abode. This new house is run solely on solar power, with no internet or landline available. With this grand adventure of living off grid on solar power there are several changes, for example no access to internet, (hint, no presence on social media). This means that if you need to get in touch with Fr. Bob the best way will be to call him or text him on his new cellphone. Keep in mind cell service in Kentucky can be spotty at times so if you don't get through when calling go ahead and send him a text (Text messages tend to come through faster some times.) and a time can be arranged when he will be sure to have full signal. So yes, Fr. Bob and his family are all doing quite well in their new abode. Be assured that even if he is unable to respond immediately to prayer request posted on social media he is indeed still praying for each of you every day. We look forward to seeing y'all again in the coming year! Until next time then, God Bless!!
