CTR Announcements as of October 30th:

Requiem and Art Show: On Sunday, 11/2, starting at 5:00 pm, CTR will host a Requiem service with full choir and instrumentalists. At 6:30pm, with a reception in the Parish Hall, the fall art show, “A Tender Shoot” will open. The show will hang in the Parish Hall through 12/14. A portion of all sales will benefit Christ the Redeemer. 

Support the CTR Youth Activities: Our young people will be selling freshly-pressed apple cider in the Parish Hall during coffee hour after church on 11/2, for just $1 per cup (cash).  

Visual Arts Ministry: Please mark your calendars for the second event in our annual artist speaker series, when we will present Sculptor Jim Zingarelli. See you at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, 11/14 for an inspiring evening devoted to faith and art.  

Women’s Brunch: Our next Women’s Ministry Brunch will be Saturday, 11/15, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall. We’ll be hearing from Mollie Clark from InterVarsity, a local organization with whom Christ the Redeemer has been partnering for years. It’ll be exciting to connect afresh with her. Feel free to bring a food dish or drink to share, and bring a friend, as well!

Fall Festival: The Milette Family will host a Fall Festival on their property (256 Central Street, Rowley) on Saturday, 11/15, at 6:00 p.m. There will be marshmallow roasting, apple crisp to eat, a candy leaf pile, and a wooded fairy walk to enjoy.

Nursery Care Worker: We are once again looking for a qualified childcare worker to fill a paid position on Sunday mornings for about an hour, with other opportunities periodically available as well. For more information, or to apply, please email [email protected] or call (978) 774-3163 and leave a message. If you know someone who would be a good fit for this role, please spread the word.

Sunday Morning Prayer: We no longer odder a 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning Eucharist. Instead, we offer Morning Prayer at 8:00 a.m.

Films Worth Talking About: Another evening of food, fellowship and cinema is coming on Saturday, 11/8, starting at 6:30 p.m. The feature is Bad Day at Black Rock, starring Spencer Tracy as a man who visits a small desert town and discovers hidden layers of intrigue and corruption. His understated and stoic performance will force viewers to think about how they would react in similar circumstances. RSVP to [email protected].

Save the Date for Fr. Malcolm’s Retirement Celebration: Fr. Malcolm has faithfully served Christ as a priest at CTR and well beyond – in fact, throughout the world! Please join us as we give thanks for his ministry and celebrate his retirement. Save the date for Sunday, 11/23 in the Parish Hall after our 10 a.m. service.
