Believe it or not, we are only two weeks away from the debut of our new worship schedule!
In the next few weeks, we will be shifting our Sunday morning services, in an attempt to serve our congregation better and attract even more families in Poughkeepsie. I have been meeting with groups this summer to make sure that this goes as smoothly as possible and I want to thank all of you who have given so generously of your time to ensure that the transition is smooth.
Our Church School time will be an exciting mix of intergenerational and age-appropriate activities. On the first Sunday of every month we will have an intergenerational event: in October, a petting zoo, in November an All Saints activity; in December, Advent wreaths and crafts. On the second Sunday we will have Hot Breakfast with a speaker and table activities for children. On the rest of the Sundays we will have traditional Church School classes: Nursery/Toddlers; 4yr old-3rd grade; and 4th-7th grade. On Sunday mornings there will be an Adult Education Class in the NCR and the library will be reserved for fellowship and conversation
Our Fellowship Committee has been making adjustments, too! We will be going to a simplified Fellowship menu on Sundays (except for Hot Breakfast) and fruit, yogurt, muffins and donuts will be offered on Sunday morning.
Thanks to all the people of Christ Church for your support as we make the changes to our schedule.
I know that these are big changes to your Sunday morning routine and that always represents a hardship for everyone in terms of changing routines and readjusting schedules. The vestry and I believe that this change in our schedule will ultimately be better for our community and provide new ways to strengthen the community of Christ Church.
Donate to Episcopal Relief & Development Hurricane Harvey Response Fund and provide emergency assistance to people recovering from the impact of flooding after this major storm. Your generous support will supply critical necessities for communities immediately and for the long-term as they recover and rebuild.
