YouTube

The easiest way to watch our church services on YouTube is:

• Open YouTube on your TV. (this depends on your TV and if you are using Spectrum cable or possibly a ROKU device)
• Go to “Search” and Enter “Christ Church Springfield”. (by the time you have entered “Christ Church Spr” there will be a list on the left side of the screen.
• Look at the list, and we will be about the third one down
• Do NOT type “Christ Episcopal”. Our church will not come up on the list.

Please call or email me if you have questions at Scott@triec.com

African Bible Study Tuesdays at 12 pm!

African Bible Study or Sacred Reading (Lectio Divina) is on Tuesdays at noon, and we use the below Zoom link: 

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85856795275pwd=NHRBQlZvRU9PL1h3dWFuMmJBa2NHdz09

This Bible study is a structured, meditative approach to learning about our Christian faith from scripture. It not only discourages but also disallows crosstalk during the collective reading. It encourages self-reflection as well as listening to others. 

We hope people who are interested will join us in this empowering group study of scripture. If you have questions, write Pat Cary at sisterpcocd2@hotmail.com or Keith Doubt at kdoubt@gmail.com. Each week we will read the Lectionary reading for the forthcoming Sunday.  We hope you consider joining us!
