CTR Camera Club: CTR photographer Michael Chiusano is inviting parishioners to join a new camera club, with meetings to talk about photography, share pictures, enjoy outdoor photo walks, and improve skills. If interested: michael.chiusano@comcast.net.
Youth Ministry: When we witness infant baptisms, we vow to do “all in our power to support these persons in their life in Christ.” We have now raised $23,250 towards a goal of $30,000 to fund a new part-time position for our youth ministry in the near future. We invite any of you who would like to contribute, or who have questions, to contact vestry member Peter Anderson. Donation checks to CTR for this initiative should be designated for “Youth Ministry.”
