Sunday Supper - RSVP soon!
Parish Family Meal

We hope that you're planning to attend
Sunday Supper this
Sunday, January 19 at
5:00 p.m. in Hinde Hall. We need to have a critical mass by tomorrow afternoon, Wednesday, January 15, so let us know you're coming asap - RSVP below.
We will hold an Evening Prayer service then share a simple family-style meal. In the scripture we will hear about Jesus calling his disciples and talk about what it means to "follow Jesus." Dinner will be fish 'n chips with a poultry (and veggie) option for those that don't like fish! Let us know if you're planning to attend by replying via the button below. We hope to see you there!

Healing Service Parking
Thursday, January 16
|
The day school will hold their culminating event for the Apex Fun Run fundraiser, Thursday, January 16. It is a "fun run" where the children run laps to earn $$ for specifics projects/items for the school. There will be many parents in attendance and that might impact
parking in the lot for the Healing Service. Just make a note that you may need to give yourself a little extra time to find parking.

Celebrants this Sunday
January 19, 2020
|
Fr. Michael will be away this Sunday for his daughter's wedding in Colorado. We will welcome
Rev. Gwynn Lynch and
Rev. Laura Sheridan-Campbell from the diocese.
Rev. Lynch is the new canon to the ordinary. She has served in the diocese many years and begins work in her new position January 15. Rev. Sheridan-Campbell is the current director of transition and formation. She and Rev. Lynch will be meeting with the Call Committee after Sunday services to discuss our transition. We hope that you will be here this Sunday to welcome them both.

Words to Live By
Influence: Good and Bad
|
Their fame is their influence:
A few years back, Time Magazine recently published its list of the worlds’ one hundred most influential people. Of these “influencers” the magazine’s editorial staff grouped them into categories of influence--from leaders and revolutionaries to builders and titans, from artists and entertainers to heroes and icons, scientists and thinkers.
Interestingly, the magazine included some whose influence was wholly negative. Bernard Madoff, who stole a reported sixty billion dollars from investors and bankrupted many charitable organizations, made the list, as did Joaquin Guzman, the Mexican drug lord behind the horrific violence that has claimed over 15,000 lives in his home country and abroad.

have few or no used blankets
to donate, you may contribute to the parish's
bulk purchase
of high quality disaster relief/community shelter blankets.
Donations of any amount are welcome but a $10

Newcomer's Luncheon
New to the parish?
|
It's been quite some time since we've gathered
newcomers to Christ Church for a
"welcome" luncheon. Given that, whether you're brand new to the parish or have been here awhile but haven't attended a newcomer event, we hope you'll
join us Sunday, January 26 at 11:30 a.m. for an
informal lunch and introduction in Hinde Hall. Families as well as individuals are welcome, but
let us know you're planning on attending so we have enough food for everyone.
Going forward Fr. Michael plans to greet newcomers in his office the last Sunday of each month. The
next gathering will be Sunday, February 16 - because the last Sunday that month, February 23, is our Annual Meeting!

Beware of Email Scams
No one is immune
|
We all need to be cautious of
nefarious activity on the internet; it's easy to be fooled. You may have even received a seemingly "urgent" message from clergy at Christ Church.
PLEASE NOTE that
no one from Christ Church would urgently contact you via email. All of the
Christ Church email address have the
@christchurchcoronado.org extension, anything from the
day school will have the
@ccds.org extension. If you are concerned about a suspicious email, first
check the email address of the sender - if it's not the church or day school address it is most certainly a scam. If you are ever in doubt just contact the parish office .

that will need to be filled at the
2020 Annual Meeting February 23

Vestry Nomination Committee is now accepting nominations
. If you have any questions or wish to make a nomination, please contact Nominating Committee Chairman,

Transition Update
The Call Committee Thanks You
|
With one more listening session to go,
more than 100
of you have
participated in listening sessions
! We are grateful for your participation and deeply moved by your love of Christ Church and care for its future. As one member of the call committee said, “The listening session made me proud to be part of this church.”
Thank you
to everyone who
completed the survey
. We know it was long and some of the questions were complicated. Nevertheless, we had
more than 100 responses!
We now look forward to learning the results. The
call committee and vestry
will be
meeting
with the
diocesan consultant on February 1
and we will share the results with the congregation soon after that.
The
next step
in the process is the creation of Christ Church’s profile and portfolio. The
profile
will be on our website and tell our story to prospective rectors. The
portfolio
is entered into The Episcopal Church’s data base and serves as our job announcement to the greater church. We anticipate taking the
month of February
to write these pieces and
posting the position in early March
.
If you have
names of priests
you would like to have considered, please email
Julie Young
, or give them to the church office.

Not Able to Make it to Church?
3 things to DO....
|
Some Sundays you just can't make it to church. In that case, here are three things you can do:
- Watch the Sunday service on our live-stream, both the 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. - via the website
- Each week's Sunday bulletins for both services are also available on the website "Worship" page.
- Sermons are usually posted on the homepage of the website, under "News".
Remember, the live-stream is just that, it broadcasts the services in real time, no recording is currently available.
