Journey together this Advent with Christ Church

Advent is the season of the liturgical year in which we prepare for the coming of Christ. At Christ Church, we invite you to join us in expectant hope as we prepare our hearts.

Fellowship and festivity: Help make wreaths for CCE

Sunday, December 5, 12:30-1:30 PM

Helping hands are needed! Add a sense of anticipation and wonder this Advent, all while chatting and enjoying the fellowship of others. Gather at church this Sunday to make Advent/Christmas wreaths for our church doors. This is a great opportunity for older children and youth to serve with you! Register or just show up on Sunday at 12:30!

Financial Giving Update

The Boundless Mission team is joyfully grateful to the folks who have submitted their estimated giving for 2022. We are halfway there!

For those of you who have not yet submitted your estimated giving, we encourage you to act now! In the season of Advent, it makes sense to remove one hassle by submitting your estimate -- and the button below makes it easy to do so.

We are developing ways to follow up with those of you we have not heard from, so if you would prefer not to receive a communication, please feel free to submit your information today.

Thank you for your generosity! 96 households have estimated gifts totaling $450,000. Help fuel our journey and reach our goal of estimating your giving.

Offer thanksgiving or honor the memory of your loved one by dedicating a Christmas Flower

Flowers add beauty and joy to our worship on Christmas Eve and throughout the Christmas season. They also provide a lovely way to offer thanksgiving for and memory of our loved ones. If you'd like to dedicate a flower to someone special, we will share the dedication with our community, in print and online. You can pay via check at worship this weekend or online in Realm.

Mark your calendar and make plans to join us at 10 AM in the Sanctuary.

Is Family Worship a good fit for you or someone you know?

Family Worship is ideal for kids, parents, and grandparents, as well as adults who enjoy being around the energy and spirit that comes from all ages being together.

Families will gather again this Sunday at 9 AM for a time of active participation from all ages. Bring your whole selves, move around, and worship God. The liturgy is meaningful and accessible, relevant to people of all ages and in all stages of life. If this fits you, please give it a try -- and please share with others who might enjoy this service!
