Christ Church’s Epiphany Group

October 21st, 2010

Christ Episcopal Church in Tyler has recently unveiled a new program. The Epiphany Group is a two tiered class and or outreach to college and post- college age people seeking a more active spiritual life and a community with whom to connect. Father Matt Boulter (assistant rector of Christ Church) directs the groups, which meet Tuesday night on the campus of UT Tyler, and Thursday nights in the Grelling- Spence Building at Christ Church in down town Tyler respectively.

The Epiphany group’s goal is to explore the concept of community as it pertains to the Christian faith. Father Matt leads the group in an investigation of what it means to live a Christian life and participate in a Christian community in the context of a modern society that seeks pull us in many directions at the same time. The group has both a social component, and more formal one. Meaning there are social outings, local outreach projects and classroom style meetings. Being that Christ Church is an Episcopal Church the classes maintain a loose liturgical form, but all Christians (and non-Christians for that matter) are welcome regardless of denominational affiliation, and would be comfortable with the experience. The group is currently beginning a new study of the book of Galatians entitled “Grace Changes Everything: New Freedom, New Family.”

Something Different At King’s Academy

January 8th, 2010

 At the beginning of the Summer I focused much of my writing attention on private schools and tutoring services in Tyler. One of the first schools I profiled was King’s Academy Christian School. Well, I have an amendment, or an addition to the piece I wrote in June. After five years sharing a facility with New Covenant Church on Shelley drive, the school has out grown that building, and is moving to a new location. King’s Academy will now be sharing a building with Trinity Baptist Church on Fourth Street in Tyler.
 
The school will retain its autonomy in terms of its government and denominational affiliation, (or lack thereof), but will partner with the church in order to share the cost of the facilities. The new location is beautiful, and will allow the school to continue to expand. The classes and programs offered by the school will not change too much immediately, but the staff hopes that the new digs will allow the school’s opportunities to grow along with the student body. Thankfully most of the faculty will be returning, so the Tyler schools immediate future continues to look bright.

King’s Academy in Tyler is enrolling now. Classes start on August twenty fourth, with open houses the proceeding week. To learn more about King’s see my earlier blog dated June seventeenth entitled “Something different in Education,” also located on this site.
