You really can't get too much of the Bread of Life. But in case you feel that way, come contemplate what it is to "live in love as Christ loved us." The letter to the Ephesians suggests being kind to one another, tender-hearted and forgiving is a start!

 If you're in town, I hope you'll come to services and live in Love with your family at CC. If you're traveling, I hope you'll live in Love, wherever you are, and be restored in mind, body and spirit.  

 

I'll still be on vacation, but this week the fantastic the Rev. Dr. Carol Flett will be worshiping with you at 8AM and 10AM, and the Rev. Nathaniel ("Nate") Jung-Chul Lee will be worshiping with you at 5pm.  If you're interested in joining in the witness for peace and tolerance this Sunday, please see the info below.   

 

Blessings and peace, Emily

Christ Church BBQ on September 9!

Please mark your calendars for our annual barbeque & picnic to kick off the fall - always a fun event! Hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers and turkey burgers will be provided by Parish Life but we would greatly appreciate sides and desserts.  We'll also provide water and lemonade. Grill Master Carl Keith will man the grill but needs assistants so we'd like volunteers to help with grilling as well as to set up the tables outside and to dismantle at the end of the picnic. If you are able to assist, please contact Jane Aylor at [email protected]
