Christ Church Vestry Retreat March 20, 2021
For the church

--Provide a welcoming bench; create a safe and comfortable place to assist “wanderers” with resources, and to find peace and a sense of belonging.
--Lead a racial reconciliation pilgrimage in our community or diocese by visiting historical sights

For our community
