For over 20 years, the life and martyrdom of Jonathan Myrick Daniels has been remembered through an annual pilgrimage to Hayneville, AL. Due to ongoing pandemic precautions, the 2021 event will be a virtual celebration of Daniel's life and work. The celebration will be streamed on the Diocese of Alabama's website and social media. To learn how to view the broadcast, visit the website shown above. More information is available here.

There is a long Christian history of religious story inspiring art. In the reverse pattern, Henri J. M. Nouwen was inspired by Rembrandt's painting, The Return of the Prodigal Son, to write his book and commentary of Jesus' parable. Nouwen wrote that the painting and the story "brought me to a new understanding of my vocation and offered me new strength to live it." Beginning Sunday, September 12, participants in this class can travel with Nouwen on his "spiritual adventure." Nouwen's book, The Return of the Prodigal Son, is available through bookstores and online. Dick Hooper and David Starling are facilitating the sessions.

Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. After the Sunday services, the altar flower arrangements are reworked into smaller arrangements. These arrangements are delivered to members of our parish family that are unable to attend a Sunday service. 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 and on the information table in the Parish Office.

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. If you are interested in assisting with staying connected to our church family, please email Rev. Katie or call her at the Parish Office, 850-432-5115. It is easy to feel alone or disconnected right now, so reach out to one of the priests or someone at the church to say hello. Contact Rev. Katie if you or anyone you know has any needs. If you have a pastoral emergency, please call our pastoral care emergency line to speak directly with one of the priests: (850) 462-5137.
