Faithful Fellowship
We do not merely provide fellowship. We are a faithful fellowship.
The Christian faith is not something we’re intended to go through alone. Ours is a communal faith, not a private faith. America is suffering from a pandemic of loneliness and isolation, and the church holds the solution in the communal life of the parish.
Article 19 of the 39 Articles states:
The visible Church of Christ is a congregation of faithful men, in which the pure Word of God is preached, and the Sacraments be duly ministered according to Christ’s ordinance in all those things that of necessity are requisite to the same.
This means that we are not just a community for community’s sake, but for deeper and more substantial purposes. We do not merely provide fellowship, we are a faithful fellowship.
We are faithful to orthodoxy, as we “hold and maintain, as the Anglican Way has received them, the doctrine, discipline and worship of Christ and to transmit the same, unimpaired, to our posterity.”
We are also faithful to one another, as we seek to provide opportunities for our parishioners and our community to develop meaningful relationships, to experience healing, and to receive support—spiritual, material, and emotional—in their lives.
Meals & Dinners
Hospitality Meals
Coffee Hour Every Sunday & Monthly Lunches
The Hospitality Ministry provides a welcoming space for fellowship and friendship within the church. In addition to weekly coffee hour, we offer monthly meals in the Parish Hall after the Sunday Eucharist, continuing until June. After Choral evensongs and Festal services, we host candlelight receptions. We care for those in need with our Take Them a Meal and Freezer Meals ministries. If you are interested in joining this ministry, please contact Allegra Smick. All are welcome. Watch the bulletin for dates and times.
Home Groups
Various times at homes around the North Shore
“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42). Resuming in September, Small Groups meet monthly at the homes of parishioners throughout the North Shore for a meal and Compline. These groups provide an environment for deeper personal spiritual formation, in which seasoned Christians and newcomers alike can develop closer relationships and pray for and encourage one another on our shared journey of imitating and resting in Jesus “out in the world.” For more info or to visit/join a group, contact Fr. Samuel.

We also offer a Women’s Bible Study, which meets every Thursday morning from 9:30-11:00 here at the church. For more information, contact our organizers of the group on our member portal.
Healing Prayer

Every Third Saturday, 5:00-6:00

Arts & Life
Films Worth Talking About
Bimonthly Saturday Nights
Films Worth Talking About is a ministry for parishioners who enjoy movies and the fellowship of like-minded people. We gather to enjoy a meal and good conversation, then move into my home theater to show films that can spark discussion from a Christian perspective. Watch the bulletin for dates and times
3 Cords Coffee House
2nd Saturday, Monthly, 7pm – 9pm
Music is spiritual. Music brings people together to enjoy and celebrate. 3 Cords can make music in the simplest terms for anyone to learn, enjoy and perform. The Bible teaches that friendship makes us stronger like a cord of three strands. Alone, we have no one to help us, but we benefit practically and spiritually when we have trusted friends by our side. Come and enjoy the music and come together as one in Christ and spirit.
Imagine Heaven
Discussion Group Times Vary
As we age, we may not like to consider what lies ahead. We feel anxious about the future. Recently, some parishioners joined together to discuss the 2015 NYTimes best-seller, “Imagine Heaven” by pastor John Burke. You are invited to draw near to fellow CTR Christians in a small group and to lose your dread of the future. Instead, you can trust that one day you will know first-hand the love of God’s glorious Kingdom. Interested? Send an email to [email protected].
Join us on Sundays at 10:00 am.
