Register for Saturday's Retreat
If you are planning to come on Saturday, please don't put off registering - for our sake, but also for yours. We have limited space in our children's program, so we don't want you to miss out by waiting too long to let us know you want to come. Click here to register.
We will have the wonderful privilege of hearing the Holy Spirit speak to us through Merisha Janke. We continue to press into the theme of community. Merisha grew up in a community based in Lüdenscheid, Germany but with smaller outreach communities around the world. Merisha now leads one of those, based here in Central Texas. We have much to learn from her.
Here are the details for the retreat. You all have done a great job of registering early for the last two retreats ... keep it up :-)
Date: Saturday, June 19
Time: 9:45 am - 2:30 pm
Location: CTR
COVID: Masks are not required, but are recommended for anyone concerned about catching coronavirus and/or passing it along to family/friends who are vulnerable*

Registration: https://form.jotform.com/210904131654043
Merisha will speak on repentance, which is such a foundational part of reconciliation, and also of community - so it's definitely an essential topic for a community living out John 17! We are considering it to be part 4 in our "Foundations of Community" series. Part 3 on Repentance is also by Merisha, though not at CTR - it is highly recommended that you listen to it this week, before Saturday. Click here to watch / listen.
* The new COVID protocols for CTR are based on the widespread availability of vaccines. May of us have already been vaccinated. Some among us are choosing not to be vaccinated. We want to honor all of these choices. It is also important for our community to allow those who feel the need to further protect themselves or their loved ones, to continue wearing masks at our retreats and other gatherings.
Save The Dates!
We have set the dates for the retreats for the remainder of the year! (Well, almost) Please save these dates in your calendar:
July - no retreat
August 21 (or possibly August 14, save both dates for now)
September 18
October 16
November 13
These retreats will continue the "Foundations of Reconciliation" series, which we expect will continue into 2022.
During the August retreat, CTR leadership will discuss the roadmap to the community commitment.
There will also be an opportunity to renew the Statement of Personal Devotion - probably in the September retreat.
We are excited about what God will be doing in our midst for these retreats!
