Triduum: A Time of Hope

By Christy Whiting | Published March 31, 2015

Friday, 11/9: Come worship the King at Upper Room! This Friday, Nov. 9, at 7:45 pm, come to Upper Room with hearts of thanksgiving to worship the Lord with complete abandon! Caroline Gambale-Dirkes will host this incredible night of worship focusing on the Scripture 2 Chronicles 5:13:

"When the trumpeters and singers were heard as a single voice praising and giving thanks to the LORD, and when they raised the sound of the trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments to 'Praise the LORD, who is so good, whose love endures forever,' the cloud filled the house of the LORD."

We will also have prayer ministry and time to intercede for the Life Teen Retreat happening this weekend. Be sure to join us in the Worship Space beginning at 7:45 pm. All ages are welcome!

Friday, 10/26: Upper Room meeting at the Shekinah “Tsunami of Glory” conference! Our Praise & Worship on Friday, Oct. 26 is being moved from Christ the King to the Friday evening session of the Tsunami of Glory conference featuring John Arnott. The conference is being held at Shekinah Church (4600 Scio Church Rd., Ann Arbor). You can attend just the Friday night session for $15 or register for the whole conference. For more information, click here.

Upper Room will resume on Friday, Nov. 9, with Praise & Worship and prayer ministry. Join us in giving praise to our King!

Friday, 9/28: Praise & Worship with Chili Dinner at 6:30 pm This Friday, Sept. 28, after the 5:30 pm Mass, we'll be enjoying a chili dinner in the gym. If you can come, please bring a side dish or dessert to pass. Then join us for Praise & Worship in the Church Worship Space beginning at 7:45 pm. It will be a great opportunity to enjoy fellowship, meet our new Upper Room Coordinator, Caroline Gambale-Dirkes, and give praise to our mighty King!

Upcoming Events: See the Event Calendar below for upcoming events. Upper Room will continue to meet on 2nd & 4th Fridays through December to enable everyone to participate in Alpha. At Praise & Worship on 2nd Fridays we'll have prayer ministry, and we'll leave the 4th Fridays flexible for extended praise, testimonies, etc. There will still be a 5:30pm Mass on the other Fridays of the month.

Alpha has a significant role in how the Holy Spirit seems to be leading Christ the King. If you haven't already participated in it, we encourage you to attend or volunteer for it this fall. Family and friends are welcome to come too. Register here.

Passing the Torch: Former Upper Room Director Christy Whiting has become the new Director of Religious Ed and Evangelization at St. Mary Parish in Williamston. She blogged about this new calling here. Please pray for her in her new role, and pray for Upper Room and CTK's leaders as they discern how to fill her position.
