Live-streaming Technical Difficulties |
Our apologies for the technical difficulties as we train new Digital Vergers (DV). In the future, out of consideration for those who are in the building, we will start the worship on time, while our DVs troubleshoot the problem. We will try to send an email with a status update, but will absolutely post status updates on Facebook. Thank you for your patience.
Past services, including services that encountered technical difficulties, are on our Youtube Channel. Watch last Sundays' service here. |

Epiphany Celebration on Sunday, January 23 |
Join us the evening of January 23rd for a special short Epiphany Party! This will be one hour of Epiphany-focused crafts and activities, ending with a speedy prayer service. In the spirit of Epiphany, we invite you to bring a gift for Baby Jesus, in the form of a book for Storytime Crafts, an organization collecting books for underserved children, newly relocated to Christ Church. Learn more about them here. We will party in the Upper Parish Hall and close in the main sanctuary. This will be fun for any age, 3 to 83! So do bring the whole family. Masks will be mandatory the entire time, and there will be no eating, to make it safe for everyone.
