 The Spirituality Center Presents
Reading with the Heart:
Study as a Spiritual Practice
Mondays, June 24-Aug. 12,6:30-8 pm
at Christ Church
You're invited to participate in this new prayer and discussion group that will study Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr, OFM. This short, but significant book is known for its enlightened spiritual perspective for those in or entering the second half of life.
Why participate?
* Experience the joy of sharing with a small group of fellow seekers.
* Practice the important distinction between "reading with the heart" and
reading with the intellect alone.
* Discard some of the unnecessary "mystery" about spiritual practices and
deepen your experience of their simplicity and beauty.
* Become more present to how God is moving in your life.
 | | Richard Gibson, Ed.D. |
Christ Church member and Spirituality Center board member, Richard S. Gibson, Ed.D., facilitates the group. Richard is a spiritual director, executive coach, management consultant, and trainer.
Cost for 8-week class: $24 per person/$11 for the book if purchased through the Cloister Bookshop. For registration information, see the flyer here or call the church office.

The following new or gently used items are needed: black, navy blue or khaki pants; white and navy collared shirts; sweaters in uniform colors; belts and underclothing. A collection bin is in the church office lobby through August 2. If you prefer, you may make a donation through PayPal via the Crossroads website at crossroadsofmichigan.org.

Planning Events, Reserving Space
In an effort to ensure that events are planned well in advance, and to eliminate scheduling conflicts, requests for room reservations must be received at least 21 days in advance of the event. Submitted forms are reviewed at the weekly staff meeting. You will be notified within 24 hours after a decision has been made. You can complete a "green" sheet here.

 Wear It and Win!
Our "Wear It And Win" winners for last week are Walt White and Elaine Yates. Each will receive his or her choice of a car wash coupon supporting our middle school group or a Cloister Bookshop gift certificate. Both will also receive a bonus Einstein Brothers Bagels gift certificate in honor of our graduating seniors. Winners were selected at random by Suzanne Peterson, long-time CCGP member and retired high school librarian. Anyone disagreeing with the selection process will be sent to the office immediately where they will receive a detention! Congratulations, Walt and Elaine. The rest of you have only three more chances to win. Keep wearing your name tags!

Stewardship Shout Out
The Stewardship Committee celebrates the many ways we show our love of God and others through the ministries of Christ Church.
This week we acknowledge the work of the Personnel Committee. This team serves to advise the rector, senior warden and vestry on personnel matters. They consult on a full range of personnel responsibilities such as hiring, compensation and performance. Members of the team come from a variety of backgrounds and provide their special skills and expertise to support personnel matters for our most treasured resources - our clergy and staff. For more information, contact Joe Katulic.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:10

Advertising Opportunity: Parish Directory
A new Parish Directory should be ready for publication in September. These directories are free to parishioners thanks to the businesses who advertise in the directory. Anyone interested in placing an advertisement in support of our new directory should contact Lisa Pleschakow to create a new one. Please feel free to pass this opportunity on to others in the Grosse Pointe community. (Advertisers do not need to be members of Christ Church.)
