Join us in worship Thanksgiving Day at 10 AM!
THANK YOU...

...For donating!
In just two weeks, you helped collect well over 100 hats, scarves, blankets, pairs of socks and gloves, and through CARITAS and St. Paul’s Emmaus Ministry, these items will be given to our neighbors around Richmond who can use a little extra warmth this season. Once again, you have responded to the call of serving as the Heart and Hands of Christ!
...For Pledging!
Your gifts change lives through vital ministries at Christ Church. To date we have received pledges totaling $671,076. Thank you! If you have not pledged, please help us reach our goal of $970,000 so that all can taste and see God's goodness, here and far beyond. Pledge cards are located in worship building and you can pledge online by clicking Give in Realm.

Help us share Christmas Love with the families of the Sophie House on December 8
The Sophie House -- just down the street from us -- helps single women and their children who have suffered personal loss, divorce, complex health issues, poverty, unemployment or under-employment, and many others. On December 8, you will have the opportunity to help these women and families experience some Christmas Love!

Sophie House clients will be invited to a special Christmas Celebration at the Garage . Before the party, CCE'ers and other community partners will be able to purchase gifts (stay tuned for how you can help purchase gifts). Then, mothers and children will ‘shop’ for each other discreetly, wrap presents, enjoy food, and play fun games! 

Volunteers are needed to lead crafts, help with gift-wrapping, and play games with the families. Log in to Realm and click Events to sign up today and contact Adam Williams with any questions.

Prepare your hearts -- and our campus!-- for Advent by making wreaths on December 1
As we prepare for Christ's birth and the season of Advent, we will gather to assemble wreaths to adorn our campus. This tradition of hanging greens on our doors serves as a symbol of everlasting life and helps us prepare for the season of hopeful anticipation as we await the Christ child.

All are welcome to gather in the Church House Kitchen on Saturday, December 1 at 10 AM to assemble wreaths, enjoy fellowship, and then place wreaths around campus. All ages and ability levels are welcome! Contact Rev. Shirley Smith Graham with any questions.
No Youth Groups this Sunday
Happy Thanksgiving! See you and your students back at the Garage on December 2.
