Relationship Guild - September through April (back to top) Time to register. The Relationship Bible Study seeks to deepen our relationship with the Lord and with one another through in depth study of the Bible. This study welcomes all Christ Church women as well as friends who are not members of Christ Church. We meet September through April on Thursday Mornings 9:30 - 11:30 AM. This past year this class studied Mark’s gospel which gave us the heart of the gospel story – the life, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus. This year we will look at Paul’s letter to the Galatians in which he guides new believers to apply the gospel’s life-changing message to their lives. Along the way, Paul addresses, clarifies, and refutes the earliest misinterpretations of the gospel. (And they have not gone away to this day!) Our class will be led by Palmer Trice. An ordained Presbyterian minister, Palmer is the founding partner of The Barnabas Center, a nonprofit, nondenominational, Christ-centered counseling, training and teaching ministry. To register, please Contact DeeDee Dalrymple, 704-376-8149, or at deedal@bellsouth.net. All are welcome!
Community Groups at Christ Church Our dream is for everyone to know the uplifting experience of genuine Christian community, and to feel connected to Christ Church as your spiritual home. We are aware that Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings can be a busy time here at Christ Church. Sometimes you may leave wishing you had more of a chance to explore an aspect of faith or to visit with fellow parishioners. Therefore, in order to offer you more of an opportunity to go deeper in your relationship with God and others, we are excited to offer our second year of Community Groups at Christ Church. What is a community group? What kind of groups are available? How often does each group meet? When do community groups meet? We want to help everyone in our spiritual home grow closer and deeper in their faith. We look forward to building a broad, diverse network of community groups where we come together to love God, care for each other, and serve the world. There is something for everyone! We welcome your feedback, as well as your leadership and ideas for community groups in the future.

Based on his very recently published book, “The Invisible Church: Finding Spirituality Where You Are”, the Rev. Dr. Pittman McGehee will, in this lecture, provide a provocative understanding of the psychology of religion and guide us on a path between mindless literalism and secularism. It will improve our understanding of the religious nature of the psyche and the origins of myths and religions in the collective unconscious. The Rev. Dr. McGehee will help us discern the Divine in our daily lives. Through lecture, discussion and experiential exercise, we will seek to find the miraculous in the mundane and the sacred in the profane.
