Announcements as of June 4:

Parish Survey: We want to hear from you. Please take a few minutes to fill out the 2026 parish survey. Your answers will help our parish leadership as we plan for the future. Last day for filling out the survey will be June 14.

The final Hospitality Meal of the season will be taking place on Sunday, June 7, after church. At the lunch, we will recognize Allegra Smick, who is stepping down as the head of the Hospitality Committee. We are grateful for her time and efforts in leading this ministry.

Hospitality Head: Please pray about answering the call for a new leader for our hospitality team. If God is nudging you to serve, pay attention! As Allegra explains, God will equip you to do it! Your primary role will be to organize, and what makes it enjoyable is that you will have a team of others cooking, doing decorations and clean-up. Email Fr. Brian if you may be interested in helping out with this vital ministry. Thanks

Light in the World: Our art show “The Sea and All that Dwells in It” continues through June 14. Enjoy artwork in the parish hall, and consider a purchase (a portion of proceeds benefit CTR).

Our Rachel Weeping Service this year will be taking place on Sunday June 7 at 5:00 p.m. at CTR. Please invite friends or family who may benefit from a service of healing for those affected in any way by loss of life in the womb. All who wish to come to pray are also welcome.

Safeguard Training: The Diocese has instituted new requirements for safeguarding in all parishes. All children’s and youth ministry volunteers are required to attend an in-person training event after church on June 17. If you can’t make it, please let us know so we can provide an alternative time for you. Thanks!

Baby Bottle Fundraising: We’re raising funds for Your Options Medical in Revere with a Baby Bottle Campaign through Father’s Day. Bottles are available in the Church vestibule and elsewhere. Please fill your baby bottle with spare change, cash, or a check, and return it on June 21.

Summer Sunday School: This summer we are offering three different mini-series for adult Sunday School at 9 a.m. For the first topic series, we will watch presentations from this past year’s Anglicans for Life Conference. Weekly topics will be “Thinking Biblically about Bioethics in the Church” (June 14), “Thinking Biblically about Bioethics at Conception” (June 21), and “Thinking Biblically about Bioethics at the End-of-Life” (June 28). After each session, there will be a brief Q&A opportunity with Fr. Brian or Fr. Samuel.

Films Worth Talking About: We will end this year’s season of films on Saturday, June 27, with a faith-affirming biopic from 1955 titled “A Man Called Peter”. The film traces the life of Minister Peter Marshall, who had a modest beginning in Scotland and eventually became chaplain of the US Senate. Add to this a touching true love story, and we have a movie that will lift your spirit! Food and fellowship starts at 6 p.m at the Chuisano’s home in Beverly. Please RSVP to michael.chiusano@comcast.net.

Women’s Ministry: Our final Women’s Brunch will be Saturday, June 20, 9:30-11:30 a.m. here at the church. As a special exception, we’re welcoming a man as our speaker 🙂; Dan Moran will share his personal experiences of living in East Asia. Feel free to bring a food dish or drink and/or a friend, especially anyone connected with East Asia might find this talk particularly interesting! Hope to see you there! 

Bibles for Kenya: A church in Lowell is collecting used Bibles, which will be sent to churches and schools in Kenya, and CTR is glad to help. Please place any used Bibles you wish to donate in the bins at the entrances, and we’ll pass them on!
