Easter lilies and spring flowers make our Easter services visually glorious each year. We invite all parishioners to share in the experience through a memorial or thanksgiving gift. Names of the loved ones you honor or remember will be printed in the Easter bulletin. Flower Dedication forms are available here and are due no later than Friday, March 26. Please return your form to Kelly Heindl in the Parish Office.

This coming week we will depart from our stories about the ministry of Jesus and hear the story of St. Patrick. This story is a good follow-up to the one about St. Valentine. The story will help the children understand that this special day is not about leprechauns and shamrocks, but is a day to remember the man who did some amazing things in Ireland after being stolen from his native country of northern England and sold into slavery. We will have a St. Patrick’s Day party with green cookies and cupcakes. As one of the children reminds us – ”We will try not to eat too much sugar!” Please sign up early. Parents: Be on the lookout for information about services for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter. Please sign children up here (max 20 children).

For those who are with us on Zoom, Britton Lynn and Rudy will be with you to tell this story — these sessions begin at 9:30 AM. The meeting ID is 3205228708. Britton will let you in through the waiting room.

We have been serving around 200 families each food distribution. Our next food distribution day will be Saturday, March 27, partnering with Allen Chapel AME Church and distributing food at 500 N. Guillemard St. We need volunteers to work a shift in the morning to either sort or distribute food. Volunteer duties range from directing traffic and filling out forms for families, to more labor-involved duties of sorting and distributing food. While it is outdoors and we take precautions like masks, please do not volunteer if you are at a high risk of infection or if you are not feeling well. Please email Honey Harris to volunteer.

The excitement is building as the Cows and the Goats are tied at 5 and ½ each!  We do need to get more players on the court – preferably whole ones. Joining the ranks are “Dolly”, “Fudge Maker” and “Ba-mui-lam” (Vietnamese for 35, which equates to goats and their traits as displayed in humans) for the Goats; and “Hownowbrown” for the Cows.

Just $80 will purchase an animal which gives you naming rights for your cow or goat. A donation of $40 will provide a half of an animal, and any amount will support Episcopal Relief & Development providing animals and training to families in poverty. This year 1/3 of the money raised will go for COVID19 Relief Kits. Pink “March Madness” envelopes and forms can be found in the pews if you attend in-person services, or you may mail a check (indicating which animal and its name) to Christ Church, 18 West Wright St., Pensacola, FL 32501. Please make your check payable to Christ Church. For your convenience, you may also pay online here (select "outreach" from the drop down menu on the giving page).

Remember, purchasing an animal gives you naming rights. The cleverest, funniest names will be acknowledged by Father Michael at the end of the campaign, and the donors will receive prizes! Please email Honey Harris with your choice of animal and name given in order to be included in the naming competition! For questions, you may contact Honey Harris.

led by Fr. Michael and Rev. Katie ~ Sundays, 9:30 AM: Zoom

While it is still a week until Palm Sunday, the discussion for this week centers on Jesus' triumphal entry to Jerusalem as told in Luke 19:28-47. It was a very busy day filled with newsworthy events which cannot be fully understood with a short reading and reenactment on one day a year. Dick Hooper and David Starling facilitate this study at 9:00 AM on Sunday mornings through ZOOM. Join the class through the link available in the Saturday announcements. Please click here for more information.

Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. The altar flowers are a memorial, a thanksgiving for an anniversary, a birthday, a new birth, or a thanksgiving for God's blessings. The donation is listed in the weekly bulletin. Forms to participate in this ministry are available here.

Christ Church is here for you. There are many ministries to love and support the people who are the church. We continue to support one another, especially during this pandemic. If you are interested in assisting with staying connected to our church family, please email Rev. Katie or call her at the Parish Office, 850-432-5115. It is easy to feel alone or disconnected right now, so reach out to one of the priests or someone at the church to say hello. Contact Rev. Katie if you or anyone you know has any needs. If you have a pastoral emergency, please call our pastoral care emergency line to speak directly with one of the priests: (850) 462-5137.
