Upcoming Events

Marriage Class

Join us on Saturday, February 25th for a Marriage Class held at CTK. This class is open to all — whether you’re engaged and looking to get married at CTK, or already married and looking for a refresher, or you’re single and want to think more deeply about the meaning of marriage . 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. For more details about pre-marital counseling, visit ctkcambridge.org/weddings.

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.

Men's Bible Study

The Men's Bible study will be starting Acts on Sep 9th. Join us as we read, reflect on, and discuss one chapter each week -- no preparation required, and one-time visits are welcome! We meet Fridays 6-7am here on Zoom. (Too early? Let us know if you're interested in a second meeting time.) Contact Andy (astuntz@gmail.com) with questions.

Men, mark your calendars! There will be a men's breakfast on Saturday, October 8th from 8-10am in the fellowship hall. More details to come!

Nancy Guthrie Event

The event on Saturday, October 15th has sold out, but they’ve now added a date on the afternoon of Sunday, October 16. No matter how much you already know or don’t know about the Bible, if you’re a woman who wants to know your Bible better, this workshop is for you!

Please let Martha Olson know by Sept 12 if you need financial assistance to purchase a ticket!
