This Sunday at Christ Church

Christmas Pageant and
Children & Youth Service
Our pageant is this Sunday during the 9:30 service. This morning our children and youth will also be leading all aspects of the service itself: as ushers, acolytes, prayer leaders, communion assistants, chalice bearers and lay Eucharistic ministers!
There will be one rehearsal. We will have a full dress rehearsal on Saturday, December 17 from 9-11AM. The little sheep, shepherds and angels do not need to attend this dress rehearsal. On Sunday, all Pageant participants are to arrive at 8:45!
Any questions, contact
Melissa Durbin or
Leah Romanelli.
After the service on Sunday, please join us for a reception honoring our Pageant and Service participants in the McClain Room.

Save Your Grand Receipts Over the Holidays 
Save all your receipts and place them in the labeled collection cans in the Prevost Cloister, McClain Room, Youth Ministry credenza, and church office. The Grand will give us 3% of all money spent at their store (before taxes). This will be an on-going endeavor so that we can build a base
for scholarships and offset travel costs. We appreciate your support!
