Thursday Evenings in Lent 2018
Genesis Matters:
Five Moments in Genesis that Anticipate
Jesus Christ and Why Every Christian Should Know Them
TONIGHT
"The History Before History"
The first eleven chapters of Genesis include Creation, The Flood, and the Tower of Babel and are considered "pre-history" because we have no way of knowing when these events took place in time. All three stories involve specific themes that are realized in the flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Come see how these early stories play out in the life and ministry of Jesus.

Taught this week only by The Rev. Shay Craig

Christ Church Will Host Family Promise Families March 11-18
Christ Church is preparing to host a new group of transitionally homeless families in Church House from Sunday, March 11 through Sunday, March 18.
This has become one of our most important outreach ministries. It's a unique opportunity for our parish to come together in support of families who are in crisis, struggling to keep their families together while they rebuild their lives and create a new future.
While they are with us, we provide our guest families safe shelter, healthy meals, companionship and fellowship. And we have learned that while they are here, we receive more than we give.
We need lots of help! Volunteering to help with Family Promise puts your faith into action. You can sign up as an individual or as a family - or team up with another parishioner.
We need volunteers for:
· Setup and Cleanup
· Preparing and Serving Evening Meals
· Evening Activities
· Overnight Hosting
· Fellowship and Hospitality
