We are drafting eager and energetic volunteers to help out during our Annual Rummage Flyover event, which takes place on Saturday, September 21 between 8AM - 2:30PM and Sunday, September 22 between 11:00AM - 4:00PM. Stay for the day and enjoy lunch on us! Even if you've only got an hour to spare, you'll help lighten the load for your fellow parishioners so please, stop on by. Email Annie Adams at
[email protected]
to get involved. OR, simply show up at the 470 Maple Street parking lot to lend a helping hand.
We also need help setting up our 30 plus Departments! Volunteer 10 or more hours between September 24 and October 1, work a shift on Sale Day, and we'll grant you early shopping access during the Pre-Sale on October 2. Starting on Monday, September 24, stop by the Welcome Desk, located in the Office at the Parish House, for your assignment. We'll be setting up weekdays from 9AM to 3PM. We are eternally grateful for your support!

Security Volunteers Needed!
If you're looking for a different way to contribute to the success of the Rummage Sale,try serving as a member of the "Security Detail", which provides help, direction and "crowd control" on the Sale Day. It's a terrific way to engage personally with
our Rummage patrons. Three separate three hour shifts (early morning, mid-day and early afternoon) are available.

This Fall Marks the 95th Anniversary of Rummage at Christ Church
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
It's not just a Clint Eastwood movie. It's a way to describe the bargains, the memories, and the bizarre stories, in no particular order, of Christ Church's Annual Fall Rummage Sale.
Long time parishioner Carol Schroeder most fondly remembers...

Holy Caffeine to Read The Screwtape Letters
Beginning on Friday, September 13
Holy Caffeine, a study of the Bible for all ages, meets on Fridays from 8:30-9:30AM in the Lea Room at Church on the Hill. After seven years of reading various books from Scripture, we are beginning this year by reading The Screwtape Letters, the book that introduced the world to the Christian writing of C.S. Lewis. Published in 1941, the book is still in print due to its masterful understanding of how our spiritual lives both work and don't work.
The premise of the book is that Screwtape, a senior tempter from Hell, writes letters to his underling Wormwood, a junior tempter recently assigned his first 'patient'. Wormwood schools him along the way as to how he can best win souls away from God, revealing clearly along the way how God works in our lives. Reading this material from the enemy's point of view provides a colorful and creative way to introduce the reader to various aspects of living a life in communion with the Divine.
In addition to the book, readily available in paperback, we will be using a remarkable study guide written by a Lewis devotee which will be available to the class on the first day, Friday, September 13th.
This discussion group meets Friday mornings from 8:30-9:30AM in the Lea Room. Christopher Powell leads the group in the study and discussion of scripture. All are welcome! For more information, contact Christopher at 847-868-5611.
