| Bluegrass Eucharist and Church Picnic |
|
The 2017 Christ Church Picnic was held on the church lawn this year at the conclusion of morning worship services, which featured a special Bluegrass Eucharist at 11:15 am. The rain held off just long enough for a wonderful time of fellowship, fun and festivities, as we welcomed our new curate, Ashton Williston and her family to Christ Church.
Many thanks to Susan Imhoff, Ed and Lynne Turner, Susan Shipman, Henry Ansley, Gene and Cindy Rackley, Charlotte and Rip Graham, Mitchell Peck, Fr. Tom Purdy, Harry Branch, Brad Hamil, Dianne Abernathy, Lisa Anderson, John Killgallon, Mary Hardee, Angela Scott, Mark Boozer, Elizabeth Freyer, Beth Thrift, Bascom Murrah, Paul Salter, Dorriann Branch, Slade Turner, Ben Galland, Marshgrass and everyone else who worked so hard to make this wonderful day happen!

| The Man Behind the Music: Christ Church Welcomes George Ingram |
|
By John La Boone
 Last February, we at Christ Church were blessed with the addition of George Ingram to the staff as part-time Assistant Organist and Choirmaster. George brings a wealth of skill and experience, as well as a deep personal faith, to his new job.
"Church music does a great deal to add to my personal faith," he commented. "It makes me focus and it makes me realize how our faith comes together and gives meaning to life. I think music does that for a lot of people."
|
| Kidurgy All Summer |
|
This year, we will have Kidurgy for our young children throughout the summer. Kidurgy is a child-friendly liturgy of the Word which takes place during the 9:15 service on Sunday. The children gather in the Parish Hall to sing, read scripture and pray from their own bulletins. There is even a short homily. Then they return to the church to receive communion with their families.

| Flower Donations |
 If you would like to glorify the altar at Christ Church by donating flowers in honor or in memory of a loved one or friend, please contact Ethel Horton at 912-634-8327.

It with great excitement that the Christ Church ECW announces a very generous gift of

show ribbons and has been
 appraised at over $50,000. If you are interested in buying a raffle ticket to help this worthy cause (and the opportunity to win a fine automobile) please call 912-258-4619. Tickets are $100 and only a maximum of 1000 will be sold. The drawing will take place on July 4, 2017 and you need not be present to win.

Today is Flag Day. Depending on how you want to measure it, it's Flag Day's 101st birthday. It's interesting for me because I just repaired our flagpole and got our American flag back on the front porch last week after nearly a year of being rolled up in the garage. I just never got around to repairing it, but came upon it when cleaning out the garage and decided it was time to fly it again. I am a patriotic American and proud to post the colors, and I like seeing them out there when I come and go or sit on the porch.
