ONE Tuesday
Christ Church’s Adult Formation is in the process of refreshment and renewal. In response to the “A Sure Foundation” campaign, Christ Church will introduce ONE Tuesday, a once-monthly evening of Education, Formation and Fellowship for the entire Christ Church family. Supper will begin at 6:00 PM in Taylor Hall, followed by the Adult Formation program at 6:30 PM. A program for children will be offered in the Undercroft, and childcare will be available for children four years old and under. To close the evening, the parish will gather again in Taylor Hall for a short prayer service.
ONE Tuesdays has as its theme the Episcopal Church’s commitment to the Millenium Development Goals through Christ Church’s membership as a ONE parish. For more information about the MDGs and the ONE Tuesday program, please click here.
