Dedicate Easter Flowers in honor or memory of someone
The Easter Flower arrangement is a wonderful way to adorn our worship space, give Glory to God, and serve as a way to honor or remember someone you love. Dedication forms can be found in the milling area. Each dedication cost $10 and the deadline to return the forms is Monday, April 8.
Men's Retreat: Unconditional Love
All men of the church are invited and encouraged to attend the Spring Retreat at Richmond Hill. The theme is: "Unconditional Love: What is it and what do we do with it?" The retreat begins with arrival on Friday, April 5, 4:00-5:30 PM, and ends on Saturday, April 6, at 1:00 PM. Registrants may sign up to stay overnight for $80, commuters for $40.
Quiet Day at Roslyn Retreat Center
Come for a day of quiet this Lenten season at beautiful Roslyn Retreat Center on River Road. On Friday, April 12 , we'll gather for two short meditations led by Sara Vale, Christ Church member and a spiritual director, with quiet reflection times. Participants are free to walk the lovely grounds of Roslyn or sit comfortably in our meeting room or in the chapel.  Quiet days are designed to help us remove the daily distractions from our minds in order to draw closer to God through prayer, journaling, reading Scripture, walking and/or resting. It’s being with God for several quiet hours when the holy can be experienced in ways we often lose sight of in our busyness. It is especially important as we come to the last days of Lent and journey to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Got a question about Realm?
Chances are, you aren't the only one!
Realm is the online community for CCE. We use it to manage our member database, post important news, join groups, register for events, make financial contributions, and much more. All that online activity is great ... and bound to present some challenges for users!

If you have a question about Realm -- something's just not working right or maybe you'd like to use it better -- email your questions to Kathy Nunn . Kathy will submit the answers to the CCE Group in Realm so we can all learn more and stretch our Realm muscles a bit.
Episcopal 101 Class starts April 9
Are you one of the half of Episcopalians who grew up in another faith tradition and would like to know more about the Episcopal Church? Or are you a cradle Episcopalian with un-examined questions about why we do and say the things we do? Come join Episcopal 101, a study on the basics of what it means to be an Episcopalian . Rev. Richard Pelkey will lead the four-week class discussing themes in the Anglican tradition: beliefs and ethics, worship and Sacraments, and the Church and the future.
All are welcome for Lunch & Fellowship During Lent
Each Tuesday during Lent, all are invited to pack a "brown bag" lunch and join others for some good ole fashioned fellowship . We'll gather at 11:15 AM in the Parlor -- join us any Tuesdays you are able. Contact Helen Smith for more information.
Last chance to submit your Time & Talent Survey
God has gifted and equipped each of us with spiritual and material gifts to use within the church and out in the world to make Christ and his reconciling love known.These gifts are to be nourished and stewarded as a part of Christian discipleship. For the next few weeks, we will be gathering Time & Talents surveys. Paper copies will be available at worship -- just fill it out and leave it in the mailbox mounted in the worship vestibule. You can also click here to take the survey online . Please take a few moments to fill out a survey, reflecting on how God is calling you to be a minister of the Gospel.
