Upcoming Events

Women's Ministry Hike

CTK Women -- Let's take a hike and enjoy the early signs of spring! This 6-mile hike is around Walden Pond and up to the site of Thoreau's Cabin. Bring a lunch and water bottle. It is a 35-min drive to the park and a $5 parking fee. The hike usually takes 2 hours. Kids are welcome to join us. We leave the Church parking lot at 9:30AM and return around 12:30. If there is bad weather, our "Plan B" is to have games and snacks in the social hall. RSVP to Rebekah Dale (rebekah.c.anaya@gmail.com) to let her know if you need a ride or have extra space in your car.

Topics will include the meaning and purpose of marriage, the qualities necessary to have a healthy marriage, the true nature of love and how to effectively express it, communication and conflict resolution, role relationships, expectations and sexuality in marriage. Please register to attend by Wednesday, February 22nd. If you are actively planning to get married at CTK, there are opportunities for pre-marital counseling after taking this class.

2023 Getaway

There is still some space open at the Winter Getaway, taking place January 27 thru January 29! We also have a “Day Only” option if you’re unable to stay overnight. Visit ctkcambridge.org/getaway for more information and to register. Please note, private rooms are now full, but there is some space in the bunkhouses. Scholarships are available — we don’t want cost to keep anyone from coming!

Christmas Eve & Day

Join us on Christmas Eve at 4pm for a family-friendly service of Lessons and Carols. Invite friends and neighbors as we read through the Christmas story, from Genesis through the Gospels and sing Christmas hymns that celebrate the coming of our Lord. Please note, there is no childcare available during this service, but the upstairs nursery and social hall will be open to children and their parents as needed.

Women's Tea

Whether you're 8 or 80, all girls and women of the CTK Community are cordially invited to the CTK Annual Women's Christmas Tea! It will take place immediately after church next week (Dec 4), so please RSVP to the Paperless Post Invitations. Don't forget to sign up for a food item you'd like to bring through the Perfect Potluck link. Instead of doing a white elephant gift exchange, we are having a book swap! Bring an unwrapped book you would like to give to someone else to read; it can be any genre (poetry, devotional, nature guide, or even a children's book). If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for set up, clean up, reading or music, please feel free to contact Martha Olson at 203-605-9898 or marthabwolson@gmail.com.
