CTR Announcements as of January 15th:
Welcome! If you are visiting us today, please introduce yourself to our clergy. If you wish, you may fill out a Welcome Card on the tables at either door of the sanctuary. Come for coffee/tea in the Parish Hall. Once a month we serve a hot meal. We look forward to meeting you.
Adult Sunday School: The second part of our Prayer Practicum has begun and will continue every Sunday at 9:00 am in the Parish Hall. Attend when you can. Each week introduces a new form of prayer which you may practice at home. At the following week’s class, we discuss the practice and introduce the next new form.
Newcomers Course: Join us! Our Course meets on Thursdays at 6:30 pm in the Level 1 Atrium, and will continue each week through March 26. The class is geared toward newcomers, but open to everyone. It is generally required before receiving either baptism or confirmation, and covers the contents of traditional catechesis including the Apostles Creed, the Our Father, and the Ten Commandments.
Intercessory Prayer Group: Learn what intercessory prayer is in a small group setting. We will meet for eight weeks, starting in February, and will use the book Intercessory Prayer by Dutch Sheets. Time and place to be determined. If interested in hearing more, RSVP by emailing Wendy, [email protected].
