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
In late January and February 2006 we ran a book study using the book "Always Open - Being An Anglican Today" by Richard Giles, Dean of the Cathedral in Philadelphia. The study was facilitated by Canon Bob Schroeder, Honourary Assistant at Grace Church. Check back in this space to find out when next book study is planned.
