Message from the Rector
Hurricane Irma
As you are fully aware, Hurricane Irma is coming.  As needed, Christ Church will be opening up Louttit Hall as a shelter.  Frances Guice (229-560-2180) has graciously offered to coordinate this.  If any of you would be willing to be on stand-by to help, please text or call Frances-especially if you could loan cots, comforters, blankets or sleeping bags-or if you'd be willing to provide casseroles, snacks, drinks, and water.  She'll add you to our list and keep you posted as needed.  

Note: The 8:00 and 10:00 Sunday morning services will be held as normal.  
The 6:00 Vespers service as well as Stitchers of Love group have cancelled their Sunday Evening meetings.
The Christ Church Preschool and Church Office will be closed on Monday, September 11, 2017.  

Please join me in praying for grace and protection for all in Irma's path.  Thanks!
