Have Fun & Raise Funds
MARCH 3, 6-9 PM

Join us to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and "bring in the green" to benefit the Vision Fund at Christ Church! This fundraiser will feature live music, heavy hors d’oeuvres, cash bar, silent auction, and fellowship with old and new friends. Invite others to this fun night that will help us Be the Church together. Can’t make the party? You can still bring the green! Donate to the Vision Fund and help us be the heart and hands of Jesus, nurture spiritual formation, and provide radical hospitality to others. Learn more about our Vision and hope to see you at the party!
An Invitation to Justice
Love of God and love of neighbor are always held together in prophetic poetry. - Walter Brueggemann
A Special First Sunday Program on March 4

How do we build communities of opportunity for all people? Our missions and outreach ministry chair, Laura Lafayette, will join Rev. Shirley to present "Outreach is God’s Business: Being Faithful in the Small and Big Things" at a special First Sunday program on March 4. Together we will explore the biblical basis for mercy and justice, and examine how our service projects connect to a larger question of opportunity -- or the impediments to opportunity -- for our neighbors near and far. (5:00-6:00 PM)

There will also be a Bible Study, as Dr. Michael Compton continues his 3-part study on the Gospel of Mark . Children's activities and nursery care will be provided during the program hour (5:00-6:00 PM).

Following the programs there will be a fellowship meal (6:00-7:00 PM). A Baked Potato & Salad Bar will include a plethora of toppings -- turkey chili, grilled chicken, cheese, butter, sour cream, broccoli, scallions, bacon, and more. Chicken nuggets for the kiddos and dessert for all!
