In the observance of a holy Lent, we encourage you to join Christ Church in our Lenten formation series: Ephesians and the Role of the Church. During this time of Fr. Michael's sabbatical, we are charged with focusing on what it means to be the Church and to take an active role in our faith as disciples. Books will be available this Sunday in the Parish Office that will journey through the entire season of Lent with Scripture readings, devotions, prayers, and reflection activities throughout the week. This series will be an adult formation offering at 9:30 AM on Sundays with our small groups and for other small groups throughout the week.

Lent is almost here as is our annual Christ Church “March Madness” game! This competition supports Episcopal Relief & Development and its efforts to fight poverty and disease, provide disaster relief, and promote sustainability throughout the world. The 2021 “March Madness” ended in a tie between the Cows and Goats, so there will be a rematch! The game begins at the start of Lent and runs until Easter. Parishioners will have the opportunity to “purchase” either a Cow or a Goat for $80 for a family in need. As Lent gets underway, look for more information on how you can participate in this fun activity and at the same time transform lives.

Christ Church is searching for a Director of Youth Ministry. This is a full time position — applicants must have a college degree and three years of experience with program development. Resumes must be submitted by April 1 to hopefully fill the position in August. Applicants should email their resumes to the Director of Communications, Traci Hart. For more information and a link to the job description, please click here.

The Epic Book Club meets on the first Wednesday of the month at 3:00 PM in the Parlor. The March book discussion will be In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson. Please click here to be added to the email list for updates, and/or join our Facebook group (EPIC Bookclub of Christ Episcopal Church).

Sunday morning breakfasts are set to return March 6 and we need volunteers to make that happen! Although we have a cook, help is needed with set-up, food prep and serving. We need 4-5 volunteers every Sunday. You can sign up for every Sunday or one Sunday a month. Starting time is 7:15 AM for prep/setup, 8:50 AM for servers. Individuals and groups (ECW, the Brotherhood, EFM, etc.) interested in helping should contact Honey Harris.

Have you ever been intrigued by the dulcet tones of a handbell choir? Ringing handbells is a gratifying way to develop musical skills, enjoy group activity, and praise God through the gift of music. The Christ Church Ringers will resume rehearsals on Tuesday, March 8 at 6:00 PM in the Library upstairs in the Christian Education Building. Rehearsals will continue every Tuesday (with a summer break) from 6:00-7:30 PM. A basic music reading ability is necessary (rhythm, especially), so if you’ve not had a chance to put those piano lessons from your youth to work, this may be your chance! Music non-readers are encouraged to take part as well: a music reading workshop can be organized to develop better music reading skills for prospective ringers. If you are interested in participating, please contact Dr. Jason Hobratschk. Looking forward to seeing you – with bells on!

~ Sunday, March 6 ~ 

8:00 AM – The Nursery is available for children ages infant through 3 years old.

9:30 AM – Sunday School for 4 years old through 5th grade. The Nursery is available for our young children during this time as well.

• Nursery – The Nursery is available for children ages infant through 3 years old.

• Godly Play – Godly Play is offered for children in PreK-4 through 2nd grade. Children have an interactive story or lesson, craft, and snack with Miss BB. This Sunday we will begin our journey through the Season of Lent. During this season of the church year, we will focus on the mystery of Easter and each week we will unfold the story of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. These Sundays are among the most important enrichment lessons offered for our children, so we hope to see them each Sunday.

• Something New: Growing with God – This spring semester, 3rd grade through 5th grade are coming together on Sunday morning with Victoria. We recognize these children need something more and are working hard to address their developmental and social needs on Sunday morning. The 4th and 5th graders have been working hard to learn about the Gospels during the fall. Now we are adding in the 3rd grade for the spring. This season's focus is on prayer – how we pray, how to pray, and prayers found in the service.

10:30 AM – Children are heading back to "big church"! Children are always (and have always been) welcome during service at Christ Church. The previous model of formation during service was in response to COVID and following guidance to keep our children and community safe. We continue to monitor cases and risk on a daily basis to protect our children and community. As the local numbers continue to fall and "big church" still has a careful, staged approach to worship, we feel it is time to include our children in worship again. A "Kid's Korner" with books, quiet activities, and art has been created for you to use at the entrance on Wright Street. During the service, children will leave prior to the sermon for their own lesson and return at the passing of the peace.

Children and Family Ministry (CFM) has two ways to keep our families connected with Christ Church during the week. CFM is on Instagram, @cckidspensacola, and shares what is happening on Sunday mornings & ideas for how to keep faithful conversations happening during the week. CFM also has a bite-sized weekly email with the "5 Things" our families need to know for the week – Sunday reminders, save the dates, and more. Would you like to be added? Email Victoria to be added to the list!

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. 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, 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.
