The DOK invite all women of the church to their meeting on Saturday, October 14. Holy Eucharist will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel. The meeting will begin afterward at about 10:30 a.m. in the Parlor. Father Stephen will speak.
Register now for "The Miracles of Jesus"

Come to this six-session class that takes an in-depth look at the miracles of Jesus. It will open your eyes to their impact and what they reveal about God today. Marty Torrance and Sandy Bowling will facilitate. The class will be held on Thursday evenings at 6:30 beginning on October 26. Registration will close on October 19. 
Choral Evensong, October 22, 4:00 p.m.

St. Christopher's Choir and friends sing Choral Evensong featuring music by Ralph Vaughn Williams, Austin C. Lovelace, and Simon Lole. Evensong is one of the great treasures of the Anglican liturgical tradition and is a wonderful way to end your day prayerfully. The service will last about 40 minutes. A reception will follow in the Andres Library. Please join us.
CROP Walk

What a beautiful day we had on Sunday for CROP Walk! It was a brief, enjoyable conversation-filled time as we walked a mile and half on one day for millions around the world who walk every day just to get clean water for drinking and hygiene.

Did you know that Church World Service—the originator and sponsor of CROP Walk— uses the money we donate, not only to provide food but to help develop sources of clean water? CWS Water for Life has transformed life for many in Myanmar, East Africa, Cambodia, Vietnam and Central America. See how a sand dam made a big difference in the lives of women and girls in rural Kenya. View this video

What we can do to help

We will continue to collect change and/or make a donation for CROP Hunger Walk during the month of October. Sock it to Hunger socks are located in the Narthex or you can donate online to the St. Christopher’s team using the link below. The first $1000 raised will be matched dollar for dollar in support of our $4000 goal. CROP Walk donations help serve the needs for food and fresh water around the world and also for those experiencing food insecurity right here in Hamilton County.
Fall Break Change for Youth Formation

Youth Formation will meet on Sunday, October 15, but will not meet on Sunday, October 22, because of fall break.
