CTR Announcements as of April 2nd:

Easter Vigil Bells: One of the most exciting moments of the Easter Vigil service Saturday night (April 4) is when we resurrect the “Alleluia” and ring bells. We will hand out small bells at the beginning of the service and you are welcome to bring your own as well.

Nursery Unstaffed on Easter Sunday: The Nursery will be unstaffed on April 5 so that everyone has a chance to sit together with family. The nursery room is available for use by parents with children as needed.

Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday: Our Easter Egg Hunt will be immediately after the service on April 5. Please have your children wait in the foyer until released by an usher. Younger kids will be released first, older kids second. Parents, please supervise your children during the hunt.

Offices Closed: The church offices will be closed for Easter Week, April 6-11. If you have any pastoral needs or emergencies, please contact Fr. Samuel or Fr. Brian directly.

Catechesis Break: Catechesis for children, youth, and adults, both morning and evening, will be taking a break on Easter Sunday (April 5).

Hospitality Lunch: Please join us on April 12 after the service for our monthly hospitality meal.  Our parish meals are opportunities to strengthen our community by sharing table fellowship with each other. There is no charge and all are welcome. Peter Anderson is the head chef.

Women’s Ministry: Our April Brunch is on April 18. We’ll meet at the church 9:30-11:30 a.m. This month, we’ll be hearing from Dr. Deborah Mager share about her experiences serving in El Salvador with Doctors Without Borders. Bring a brunch dish to share and a friend.

A Prayer Ministry Training Conference is being hosted by All Saints Cathedral in Amesbury, April 17-18. The cost is $55 per person. We would love to send a group to this event; register at this link if you’re interested.
