Cottage Meetings

There are two remaining cottage meetings. These meetings are being held to rebuild our connections with one another and share our hopes for Christ Church. Our Interim Rector, Mother Katrina, will be at these meetings to listen and share ideas about congregational development. We hope you can attend one of these cottage meetings and be part of the conversation about our future.

While Christmas brings festivities and celebration, for some, it can be difficult to anticipate a joyful holiday season. Whether you have suffered a loss, experience anxiety, are struggling with illness or a difficult diagnosis, or troubled by life's challenges, the darker days of December can be difficult. Tidings of Comfort is a worship service designed to help us appreciate the nature of hope and expectancy that Advent we await God's promises. All are welcome to attend to receive support and to support others.

Reverse Advent — 24 Days of Giving
|
We are very excited to bring back Reverse Advent to benefit the Christ Church CHOW food pantry. Join us in collecting food and personal care items (1 item a day) to give to our CHOW clients. A letter listing food and personal care items will be available in church on November 27th and in Heads’ up on November 30th.
|
Reusable shopping bags with custom logos have been donated for use in shopping for and collecting these items. Please fill these bags with the items listed and return them to church. Bags and items can be returned weekly (to reduce the weight of the items when being carried in) or in one drop off, either on or before Christmas Eve. Mother Katrina will bless these bags on Sunday, December 31.
Active participation in this project is preferred, however monetary donations can be made for CHOW personal shoppers to fill a bag for you. A jar in the back of the Sanctuary has been provided to collect monetary donations. Our goal is to provide a bag of food and personal care items for 24 families.
Together we can make a difference.
Blessings to you and your family during this Advent season.
