Undergraduate Students Welcome
This Sunday, we will commission and bless the inaugural class of the Society of Saint Anselm, a new ministry for undergraduate students directed by Fr. Nicholas and sponsored by Anglican Student Ministries and Christ Church.
The Society of Saint Anselm is a community of students committed to the worship of God, the integration of faith and study, and the practice of an ordered life of prayer and spiritual discipline. Following in the way of Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109), we believe that the intellectual life is one of “faith seeking understanding,” that all learning is fundamentally an act of worship and praise of the God who created and sustains all things, and that grounding our lives of study in a pattern of prayer and spiritual discipline enables us to love God with all our hearts, souls, and minds (Mat. 22:37). To this end, the society takes on a common Rule of Life, consisting of daily prayer, the study of Sacred Scripture, spiritual discipline and direction, and practices of contemplation.
Join us in thanking God for these students and their shared commitment to Christ and his Church. And pray for them in the months ahead as they seek a life of worship, order, and spiritual growth.
For more information about the Society of Saint Anselm and how you might join or support the community, please email Fr Nicholas at nicholas@christchurchwaco.org
The phone app is also handy!
Breeze serves a vital role at Christ Church. Through it, members can access the church directory, give online, check the church calendar, and coordinate ministry volunteers. Because of this, it is vital that our members keep their information up to date. That way when we create meal trains, visit one another’s homes, or simply want to give an encouraging phone call, we have an easy way of contacting one another. And don’t worry: your contact information is safely stored and only available to the other members of Christ Church.
