This Sunday at Christ Church
|
Summer Park Service
Starts This Weekend June 19
During the summer months, we celebrate Holy Eucharist outside. If you have not experienced one of these services, you are in for a real treat. Starting this Sunday, June 19 and running through September 4, the 9:30AM service will be at Maple Street Park.
Click here for a Park Service Primer that will ensure a great experience.
If the weather turns bad, the 9:30AM service will occur at the Church on the Hill 784 Sheridan Rd. Just look for our sandwich boards in front of the church and at the entrance to the park.

WOW! What we learned!
This "word cloud" is a visual representation of all the responses we put on our WOW cards. The larger the word or phrase, the more frequently it appeared.
- What does it make you think?
- What is larger than you thought it would be?
- What surprises you by its presence or absence?
We will be discussing the
Wow
card results and doing some visioning and dreaming about our future together on two more occasions. Sunday, July 10 after the 8AM service in the Lea Room and after the 9:30 service at the park (or in the McClain room in case of rain!). Please join us for these discussions! Questions? Contact Shay Craig.

Save Your Grand Receipts Year Round
To date, your generosity has raised more than $750 for our youth mission team, just by turning in your Grand receipts. The program is so successful and so easy and The Grand is so wonderful that we will continue this fundraiser indefinitely. Please continue to bring your receipts to the office on Maple St. or to church with you on Sunday. We will even have a collection can available at the park services! Your receipts are creating a terrific scholarship fund for our youth mission trip-present and future.
