Friday Zoom @ 7 pm for Alleluia Debrief
This Friday, August 6, we'll have the debrief of our Alleluia Community visit. We want to share with everyone what we saw as we visited a community of Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox that is still thriving after almost 50 years.
The time will be 7 pm - but if you can, try to join ~ 10 minutes early so that we can start right on time. We'll aim to be done by 8:15, and allow another ~15 minutes or so for those of us who want to hang out and chat.
We'll do this meeting by Zoom, to hopefully enable as many of you as possible to participate - since this was an important trip in the development of CTR community. Please contact us for the Zoom link.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday!
Important CTR Retreat on August 21
On Saturday, August 21, we have an important CTR retreat in the development of community. We'll devote some significant time to laying out the roadmap for community, including the community commitment and the path to residences on the CTR land. There will be time for Q&A, discussion, and prayer.
Amy will also continue the series on Foundations of Community by talking about forgiveness. How can we have community, if we don't forgive each other? Actually, it is impossible. In our visits to existing communities (like Alleluia, and others), every one of them has talked about "keeping short accounts" by living in the light and forgiving each other. And of course, Jesus had quite a lot to say about forgiveness too :-)
