Connections - January 9 - Second Thursday
"Windows into Heaven"
Icons are sometimes called "Windows into Heaven" or "the Gospel in color." They have the capacity to draw us deeper into relationship with God. In this presentation we will contemplate several important icons and let them lead us into prayer. The Rt. Rev. Jeffrey D. Lee is the twelfth bishop of the Diocese of Chicago serving since February 2008. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Nashotah House Seminary. He and his wife, Lisa Rogers Lee, have two children, Katherine and Jonathan.
5:30-6:15PM- Supper in the McClain Room
6:15-7:15PM - Program/Discussion in the Lea Room
Childcare provided for all ages of children.

Recap of 2040 Co. Presentation on Sunday Morning
After the 9:30AM service in the Sanctuary the 2040 Committee will be offering a recap of their presentation on Tuesday night. Come learn of the committee's discernment process and how it started and ended with asking how God is calling CCW to be a community of faith in the Episcopal tradition. The Committee concluded that God is calling on CCW's abundance to bear witness to God's presence in our lives and to take action to ensure our vitality and long-term sustainability.
