Faith & Practice
2040 Presentation
Please join us after church on Sunday, April 22. As part of the 2040 Vision, the
committee is looking at trends that are impacting our church community. Parishioner Eric Hillerbrand will be presenting a cultural look at why institutional churches are being abandoned and the rise of secularism. The presentation will help us to better discuss what has changed
over the last 50 years and what phenomena continue to affect our society and how Christ Church might respond.
Join us in the McClain room for Eric's informative presentation and a thoughtful discussion around how trends are affecting Christ Church and how we might respond to remain vital in 2040. Please feel free to email Molly Hufton [email protected] or Peter Macey [email protected] with questions.
