Relationship Guild (back to top)

The Relationship Bible Study resumed class on Thursday, September 15th. We will complete our study of the Patriarchs; The Founding Fathers of our Faith. We will then begin a new study: The First Church; The Book of Acts. All are welcome even if you did not participate in the beginning of the study on the Patriarchs – it will be easy to jump in! The Relationship Study seeks to deepen our relationship with God and with one another through the shared experience of studying His word and considering its application for our lives. Palmer Trice will be teaching. Palmer is an ordained Presbyterian minister and is also the founding partner of the Barnabas Center, a faith based counseling center. We meet Thursdays, 9:30 - 11:00 AM in St. Frances A at Christ Church. Contact DeeDee Dalrymple at deedal@me.com for more information.

Adult Confirmation - February 12th (back to top)

Adult Confirmation - "Confirmed" indicates that a person has undergone laying on of hands by an Episcopal Bishop in a congregational worship service. When someone has been confirmed in another Episcopal congregation, a letter of membership can be transferred from the previous congregation. When someone has been confirmed by a Bishop in the Catholic, Lutheran or Eastern Orthodox Church, that person can be received by an Episcopal Bishop in a service. On Sunday, June 3rd, adults will be confirmed or received in the 8:30 AM worship service. Youth will be confirmed in the 10:30 AM service. Adult Confirmation and Inquirers Classes begin Sunday, February 12th from 10:00-10:50 AM. These classes are for any adult who wishes to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church, for any confirmed Episcopalian who wishes to learn the basics of faith, and for anyone who simply wants to explore what we believe. The classes explore the basics of Christianity (God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, history of the Church, etc.) as well as the way the Episcopal Church lives out that basic faith through worship according to The Book of Common Prayer, Bible study and service to others. Registration is required. To register, please email Emily Kalmbach at kalmbache@christchurchcharlotte.org or call her at 704-714-6956. For more information, contact The Rev. Martha Hedgpeth or Jenny Beaumont at 704-333-0378.
