 Pictorial Directory

We would like to update our Christ Church Members and Friends directory. If you are new to Christ Church, if you did not have an opportunity to have your family's picture in the last directory, or just want to update your old picture, we are making a form available Directory Form. We would like to make this an all-in pictorial directory, so if you have a favorite family photo, or a selfie (landscape format) and can also send that to the church office we would appreciate it. Julius and Julia Ariail will be available this Sunday to take pictures after the 10:00 worship service in the parish hall.  

Total cost for camp is $600 per camper. A deposit of $200 is required to secure your camper’s space. Cost of family camp will depend on how many family members. If cost is a concern, please email Canon Varner at jvarner@gaepiscopal.org. Our normal pattern is to ask the camper’s home congregation to cover 1/3 of the cost, the camper’s family to cover 1/3 of the cost, and the Diocese to cover 1/3 of the cost. Other arrangements are possible on request.
