The Canterbury House Newsletter

I am already encouraged by the life we share with Christ Church and the deep roots with Rutgers that already exist. Past chaplains and parish priests could tell the stories better than I can, but I know that the past is a great predictor of the present and the future.

You may be asking yourself, “How can I help the campus ministry at Rutgers?” I can suggest specific ways you can be actively involved:

1.     Pray for us and our vision for the students, staff, faculty, and administration of Rutgers University. Your prayers can be as diverse as the groups listed above. It’s not just the undergraduates who need our prayers or help. It is a challenging time to be part of the faculty or administration of universities these days. Never hesitate to ask the chaplain what the needs are. I will tell you HOW to pray!

2.     Help us meet student needs. As you may know, there is a food pantry on campus for students. Students are hungry. We try to help meet those needs on a weekly basis. We offer free meals to students several times a week. How can you help? Give a gift card for a local grocery store – Stop n’ Shop; Shop Rite; Target; etc. We will use any gifts you choose to give us.

3.     Provide in-person help – do you cook? Could you provide a meal for students? We have freezers that can hold prepared meals. Can you prepare a main-dish or even an entire meal that we can share? Please let us know!

Please join our weekly email list. Email me at canterbury.house@rutgers.edu to be added to receive regular updates.

We are always thankful for your support. Let us know how we can better help you to help us!

Faithfully,

Scott+

19th Annual George E. Councell Memorial Golf Outing with Pickleball Clinic

Monday, October 9th 

10:00 am — 7:00 pm

The George E. Councell Memorial Golf Outing, the Cathedral’s largest annual fundraiser, is a great day of fun and fellowship. Started in 2004, the event has raised more than $500,000 in support of the Cathedral’s ministries. This year, we are excited to welcome Bishop French as she continues the tradition set by her predecessors, Bishop Councell and Bishop Stokes.

A new addition this year is pickleball. We will host clinics for beginners and intermediates, after which participants may play on Mercer County Park’s new courts. (Pickleball slots are limited and just $60, including fee for play and meals.) Afterward, it’s a joyous reception and hearty repast, not just for the players but all the Cathedral’s friends. There, in addition to presenting awards to the competition’s winners, including the coveted Bishop’s Cup, attendees will enjoy dinner, enter to win fun prizes, and meet our new Bishop!

New Jersey Reparations Council



On September 26 at 6:30 p.m., the New Jersey Reparations Council will hold its first public session hosted by the History of Slavery in New Jersey Committee. In order to make it a success, we need you to participate and share your views. 

We invite you and your networks to join us on September 26 at 6:30 p.m. for the History of Slavery in New Jersey’s public session.  

We want to hear your thoughts on the Garden State’s history of slavery and how it is directly connected to today’s racial disparities, some of the worst in the country. 

If you’d like to join via Zoom and share commentary live on New Jersey’s history of slavery, you must register here. We will hear from as many registrants as time allows. Commentary will be limited to three minutes. 

If you prefer to watch the session live but not participate, watch on our YouTube channel here. 

If you’d like to submit longer testimony in any form – writing, video, audio, art or other means of expression – whether or not you participate live or watch, you may do so here. 

Your feedback is crucial to the Committee’s research and policy recommendations.
