We Are Family. So bring the whole family to enjoy a delicious Mexican-themed dinner with beverages for adults and children alike.

Stewardship Campaign Begins
We Are Family
|
Look for your stewardship materials in your mailbox
this week. The packet includes important information that we hope will help you
prayerfully consider your support of Christ Church in the coming year.
In this time of transition, it is important for our parish family to maintain our commitment to the mission of Christ Church and support its many ministries. We must continue to be good stewards of this amazing property that has been passed down to us over generations.
It's
easy to make your pledge. You may
bring your completed
pledge card to next week's
kick-off event,
mail your pledge in the
return envelope in your packet, or make your
pledge online.
If you regularly give to Christ Church but have never made a pledge, please consider doing so. Our pledged total is the basis by which we build our budget each year!

Yin Yoga
October 13 @ Christ Church
|
The Yin practice is one that honors our inherent
need to slow down and be still
. It’s a practice that can help us create harmony with Earth’s cycles and with our own.
Without rest, we cannot recharge
. Rest and contemplation go hand-in-hand with this more dormant time of year.
Join Heather Smith
Sunday, October 13 at 6:30 p.m. in Hinde Hall
, for a special 75-minute Yin class with an emphasis on the autumn themes of taking in and letting go.

|
Bishop Susan was in chapel today in celebration of
National Episcopal Schools Week
. After chapel, Bishop Susan spoke with 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes about planting seeds and churches. This week's gospel focused on the mustard seed and the students had a wonderful time talking with Bishop Susan about how plants, churches, and faith can grow.
Thank you Bishop Susan
!

- 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.

46th Annual EDSD Convention
November 8 - 9, 2019
|
Four
Christ Church delegates, Hal Skelly, Don McCleary, Jamie Glorieux, and Linda Benning will attend the
46th Annual Diocesan Convention at St. Margaret's, Palm Desert. A contingent of parish youth, grades 6-12, will join youth from throughout the diocese for a special gathering,
To the Ends of the Earth,
during the convention weekend.
There will be
a pet food ingathering at convention
. The
Neighbors-4-Neighbors
ministry at
St. Margaret’s
reaches
out to huge numbers of people
. There isn’t a week that goes by where clients don't ask for pet food. Many are often challenged to make difficult choices such as purchasing food for themselves or for their pets, buying medicine, or paying the electric bill. It shouldn’t have to be that way for anyone, and you can help.
Your donation of pet food to the ingathering can be dropped off at the parish office or the Sunday service. Our delegates will make sure your donations get to the St. Margaret's.
