Sundays VSU is in session
|
Noon Sunday Service
- geared toward college students that the interns will help lead. These services will be an informal Rite II Eucharist with the same sermon as the 8:00 and 10:00 services and will run on the weekends when VSU is in session, the following Sundays: March 8, 29; April 5 and 12. Even if you are not a college student, you are more than welcome to join us. Please keep this ministry in your prayers as we seek to receive the grace of God in Jesus Christ and share that grace with college students.

College Dinner Funding Opportunity
: Our Thursday Dinners for the college ministry are bursting at the seams, with anywhere from 250 to 300 VSU students coming each week. Every Thursday evening they pour into Grace Café for an awesome home cooked meal, and they also hear a brief message about God's grace. These dinners are free for the students because the gospel of God's grace is free to all of us-as expressed in the motto of Grace Café ("It's not cheap; it's free"). To help support financially the rapid growth of this ministry we are seeking sponsorship for a Thursday Dinners. Dinners are approximately $700 each. If you would like to sponsor or help sponsor a dinner please contact Stefani Carroll (229-560-1817) or (s.carroll@sunsetfarmfoods.com), or checks can be made out to Christ Church with Thursday Dinners in memo line. Thanks so much!

For years, the Stitchers of Love have been creating and donating countless prayer shawls, lap blankets, scarves, baby hats and blankets, and other items. We would like to invite our Christ Church family to visit the Stitchers' shelf in the parish hall and to take home any of the tagged items as a comfort gift for yourself or to take to someone else. Each has been made with love and prayers, and each has been blessed at the Christ Church altar. If you have any questions or would like help in choosing, see Frances Guice, Pepi Nelson, Patricia Marks, or any of the Stitchers. Stitchers of Love will meet Sunday, March 15th from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall. All are welcome to come stitch, or learn to stitch. We have many teachers.
