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.

Christ Church is starting the search for our new Director of Children and Family Ministries. The part-time position (20 hours) is salaried and includes retirement and other benefits. The start time is flexible, but we hope is to hire someone this spring or summer. Help us spread the word. You can see the job description here. Resumes with cover letters should be sent to traci@christ-church.net. Questions can be directed to Father Michael at michael@christ-church.net

Soon after “G.O.A.T TD12” appeared on the court, he was joined by “Milkshake”, “Lick”, and “Patty” from Team Cow. Then “Lucille x5” appeared for Team Goat. One parishioner wishing to support both teams funded one-half of a Cow and one-half of a Goat who are on the bench waiting for their other half. The score is Cows 3.5 and Goats 2.5. 

Just $80 will purchase an animal, but you may make a donation of any amount which will go to Episcopal Relief & Development providing animals to families in poverty and also for COVID-19 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.

As we journey toward Easter, we heard the story of Jesus calming the stormy seas and the fears of those in the boat with him. This led to an insightful discussion of the fears each of us have. Among the children, the number one fear is darkness. Everyone shared stories of the night lights they have in their rooms! To conclude this lesson, we talked about the importance of saying a prayer when fears overcome us. This coming week we will hear the story of Jesus feeding of the 5,000 which appears in the three gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. These Sundays continue to be joyful and filled with God’s holy spirit. Parents: Mark your calendars for March 14 which will be our St. Patrick’s Celebration. And 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.

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

Much of Jesus' ministry took place around the shore of the Sea of Galilee which was the economic engine for the whole region. The story of the disciples crossing this sea is told with different details in all four Gospels. Matthew's version is in 17:1-13 and is a story about the effects of faith in God for the world as well as individuals. 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.
