Christ Episcopal Church College Ministry

 

Upcoming Events/ Highlights for 2012:

- 5PM Service: On Sundays, our 5 o’clock communion service is particularly geared toward students. We even serve a free dinner afterward! We also charter a BUS to give first-years (and whomever else) a ride to and from church.  It meets across from the old dorms in front of the Chemistry building at 4:45, and drops back off in the same spot around 7:00 (after dinner).  For more information, please email Mary Boyce Hicks mbh@christchurchcville.org.

- Our second annual student retreat happens the third weekend of February! We meet at the church at 11am on Saturday the 18th and caravan to where we’ll be spending the night, Tommy and Kemp Hill’s beautiful farm “Montana,” which is roughly an hour away. We will return the following day at the same time. The theme this year is “Grace and Relationships” and the cost is $25/person, which includes meals. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot ASAP by emailing Dave Zahl at dz@christchurchcville.org. And rides are available – just email Mary Boyce Hicks at mbh@christchurchcville.org if you need one. Students are welcome to come for just the Saturday or Sunday portions. Just let us know.

  • Collect for Purity

    Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, page 355)

The Word

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

The Prayer

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 222)
