As a community joined in Christ, we are called to welcome all who seek a spiritual home; worship God through Episcopal liturgies, rejoicing in each other through the mystery of faith to the glory of God; love one another, reaching out to those in need both in our own and neighboring communities.
"All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ Himself." -St. Benedict
Saturday, January 30th: Ladies Afternoon Out starting at 1:00 (This is a time change!). Meet in the Undercroft for the wonderful movie showing of Julie and Julia, starring Meryl Streep! Please being a friend, and a little wine or goodie to share. :-)
Sunday, January 31st: ONE SERVICE ONLY at 9:00! This is a very important worship service and meeting of our parish family that we have once a year. Please make every effort to attend. There will be a movie downstairs for the children, and a festive coffee hour hosted by the vestry following the service.
Friday, Feb. 5th: Our first Family Fun Night of 2010! Bring a game, bring your family, bring a friend, bring a donation for Haiti! We will eat, play, catch up with one another, and end with a short, intergenerational worship.
Sunday, Feb. 7th: Christ's Church Sunday School Kids and Youth Bake Sale for Haiti: Help our children help their neighbors in Haiti by eating yummy goodies - what could be better! "Souper Bowl" Sunday also! So many opportunities to give and help!
Almighty Father, God of mercies and giver of comfort, deal graciously, we pray, with the people of Haiti in the midst of the great suffering caused by the catastrophic earthquake. May they cast all their care on you and know the consolation of your love.
Give us the courage, zeal, wisdom and patience to assist them, not only in these first days and weeks of urgent need, but as they continue to need the care and partnership of all their sisters and brothers around the world in the long and difficult work of healing and rebuilding. Grant eternal life to those who have died, healing to the injured and strength to all the survivors, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
