Growth in Life and in Spirituality
Here at Christ Church, we do more than just Sunday services. We have a number of programs running that can broaden your horizons, introduce you to other parishioners, and help enrich your world.
Church Choir

Rector's Readers Book Club
|
Book and Bible Studies
|
Church Choir meets every Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the church, from September to June. The choir sings at every 10:00 am Sunday service, and occasionally at funerals or other special events. All are welcome, regardless of musical background.
Rector's Readers Book Club meets once a month on a Thursday at 2:00 pm in the priest's office. The participants read a predetermined book and come together to discuss their thoughts on the book. These are often focused on novels, occasionally with a local or current events connection.
Book and Bible Studies are intermittently held when there is a session hosted by one of our parishioners. In the past there have been studies focused on It's a Wonderful Life for Advent, The Wall Between about Israel and Palestine, and others.

Study of the Book of Matthew
Tim and Lil Horne will be facilitating a Bible study of the Gospel of Matthew starting on Thursday, September 11 for 5 bi-weekly sessions. (The alternate Thursdays to the other book study, see below.) Please contact the parish office or speak to Tim or Lil directly if you are interested in more information, or have decided to register. We have to order a study guide for participants. The cost will be $22. |
PARISH BOOK STUDY: RELIGION AND POLITICS
Selected Thursday Evenings Join us for a book study of N.T. Wright and Michael F. Bird's Jesus and the Powers: Christian Political Witness. In light of recent world events, we gather in the lower hall to discuss Wright and Bird's understanding of Religion and Politics and how we as Christians are called to speak against injustice. Sessions will be led by parishioner Judith MacDonald and Rev. Dr. Kyle. Judith holds a Master of Religion from Wycliffe College, University of Toronto. Please register for these sessions by contacting the parish office at 902-466-4270 or by email: [email protected] . A copy of the book is recommended and upon registration we will order for participants. There is a cost of $30 for the book, however if cost is a challenge for you please let the office know. Book Synopsis: An urgent call for Christians everywhere to explore the nature of the kingdom amid the political upheaval of our day. Should Christians be politically withdrawn, avoiding participation in politics to maintain their prophetic voice and to keep from being used as political pawns? Or should Christians be actively involved, seeking to utilize political systems to control the levers of power? Dates: October 2 October 16 November 13 November 27 December 11th It is important to register for these sessions. Once we determine the numbers of participants, we will then select the location and time. |
