Cursillo
Cursillo is a residential weekend experience designed for people who wish to turn their faith up a notch. Weekend events are held once or twice a year. They start Thursday evening after dinner and go until the Sunday afternoon. On the weekend, attendees listen to several talks on the faith given mostly by other lay people. There is an opportunity on the weekend to get away and reflect on priorities in your life, your relationship with God, and your commitment to your faith. For more information speak to the rector.
Book Studies
Check back in this space to find out when next book study is planned.
Explorer Evenings
From time to time the clergy of Grace will offer special evenings devoted to exploring issues of the faith. Topics such as What do Anglicans Believe?, exploring the Holy Land, spiritual gift discernment, what it means to be a Christian steward, walking the labyrinth, spiritual direction for lay people, and others are planned in the future. Check our home page, or phone the office to check on timing of these events.
If you have an idea for a Christian education event or series, contact the rector, the Reverend Dave Ponting at or (519) 752-6814 and let him know your idea. We are always eager to walk with you and give you the Christian education events you feel would nurture your faith journey.
