We invite you to a morning of learning about some of the interesting women from scripture, how they made a difference, shared their faith, lived their lives and continue to influence women and men even today!

Guest speaker will be The Rev. Anita Braden, Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Milwaukee, who has also been a supply priest at Christ Church on several occasions. Mother Anita has a wonderful way of bringing us into the stories in scripture that give us interesting and thought-provoking insights for our own lives.  Workshop will include sharing by Mother Anita, group discussions & prayers, followed by a soup & salad luncheon.

There is no charge for this workshop, but we ask you to register by October 19 so we may plan enough for all.  To register call or e-mail the parish at (262) 728-5292  /   christchurch@pensys.com .

On the first four Tuesdays in November (1, 8, 15, and 22), from 7 PM-8:30 PM, the Rev. Debra Trakel, Rector of St. Christopher's, psychotherapist, and pray-er, will gather people together to talk about the fascinating subject of how and why we pray in today's world, teach different prayer techniques (including centering prayer), and practice different ways to pray.

Debra has been a priest for sixteen years. In a galaxy far, far away she was a Franciscan nun. She has been in Spiritual Direction for almost all of the last forty years of her life. She is well schooled in the language and practice of prayer but says, "While there is both art and skill to prayer, it is finally about relationship, and thus, we all pray differently. So we will learn from one another."

You need not attend all of the four evenings to participate. If you are interested in attending any of these evenings, please call the office at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, 414-352-0380. Located on five beautiful acres of land in River Hills, it is a lovely place to explore what the disciples were asking Jesus when they said, "Lord, teach us to pray. . ."
