What’s going on at Christ Church Anglican? 

Well, click here and find out!  Our calendar is online on the website, and is regularly updated with services, Bible studies, classes, and other events happening here at the church.  In addition, we’ve linked a liturgical calendar from an English church organization to help you keep track of the church year.
To put an event on the calendar, please contact Father Hutchens.

New and Updated Announcements:

            • Rector’s Forum:  This past Sunday, we had our monthly Rector’s Forum.  Father Hutchens presented a meditation on the contrast between Churchgoers and Disciples as our focus of Advent this year.  How can we become disciples ready to receive Jesus Christ upon His return? To see the recording of his presentation and download the handouts, click here.
            • Wednesday, November 18th at 11:30 AM at the church we continue our weekly Bible Study on Wednesday mornings.  What sets the Gospel of Mark apart from the other Gospels? Come see!
            • Live-stream updates:
              • Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we intend to live-stream this coming Sunday!
            • We have published our Advent and Christmas service schedule.  Click here to see it. 
            • The PDF handouts from Father Hutchens’ recently-completed study on “Islam Through A Christian Lens” have been posted here.
            • Ever want to re-visit something you heard in Sunday’s sermon?  Or maybe you were away on a particular week and missed the sermon.  Catch up here on our Media page!

Prayer of the Week:

The Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity (November 15)

O LORD, we beseech thee, absolve thy people from their offences; that through thy bountiful goodness we may all be delivered from the bands of those sins, which by our frailty we have committed. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
