Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer. It does not replace other types of prayer, but adds depth and meaning to all prayer. The group provides an opportunity to deepen your relationship with Jesus and connect with your fellow parishioners. HT's Centering Prayer group meets on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month, from 4:15-5:15pm. The group is part of Contemplative Outreach of Portland, which hosts workshops and retreats regularly in the area.

Christians in Commerce (CIC) is an ecumenical organization made up of men’s and women’s chapters that are united locally, nationally, and internationally to be Christ in our workplaces. The CIC group here at HT is a men's chapter that meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, from 7:00-8:00am in Fireside. We support and encourage each other to expand the Kingdom of God by who we are, what we do, and how we do it. By the power of the Holy Spirit, our purpose is to transform the offices, schools, factories, and hospitals where we work into places where the love and power of Christ is present.

First Saturday Fellowship began as an opportunity for those who had participated in a CRHP Weekend to continue to gather and spend time together. Now open to all, join your fellow parishioners every first Saturday of the month for fun, food, and fellowship! We gather from 9:00-10:15am in Fireside to share our highs and lows of the month, reflect on the Sunday readings, and enjoy refreshments and each other’s company. All are invited to bring something tasty to share — and don’t forget to bring your bible!

Panache is a women's bible and prayer support group that gathers every Thursday in Fireside from 9:30-11:30am, September–June. Each meeting begins with a bible study, followed by individual sharing, discussion, and prayer requests.

Senior Luncheon is a potluck-style gathering that allows folks to socialize and meet other members of the parish. Luncheons are held at 12:00pm on the third Wednesday of the month (no luncheon in September).

This support group is designed to facilitate connection, compassion, and commonality between members; offer education on how sexual trauma can interfere with one’s health and happiness; and provide tools for healthy coping. Prayer, scripture, and other inspirational spiritual materials will also be incorporated. If you are interested in joining or have any questions, please give Anne Church a call at 503.320.3049

All men are welcome to gather for breakfast and companionship every Tuesday morning from 7:00-8:00am at the IHOP restuarant on SW Regatta Lane (just off of SW 158th and Walker Road). While we have no agenda, we traditionally have a member read the following Sunday Gospel, and participants may elect to comment, question, or discuss the reading as they wish. We also spontaneously discuss other subjects of interest of the group as well. Prior to breakfast, we say a prayer of thanks, with each participant adding a personal prayer as they wish. We have made occasional excursions and group activities as well.
