Dear Christ Church Family,

Attached you will find the financials for the first quarter of 2022. You will notice a -$3.00 difference in the Expenses vs. Income; this is because the software divides the pledge total by 12, and the full pledge amount doesn't divide evenly. Our budget IS balanced. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Amy or me!

I am a Valdosta native and have attended Christ Church since 1993, when Fr. Henry Louttit was our priest. My mentor, Dr. Bill Gabard and my dear friend, Tess Price brought me here. I have practiced law here since 1979. I serve on the boards for the Haven and Turner Arts Center. Anne and I married here in 2012.

This is my third time serving on the Vestry. I have served as an usher, since Dr. Jim Dennard drafted me in 1995.

It has been a privilege and a blessing to be a part of this church family. Especially now, we all need to rally and support our church, making sure it not only rebounds, but gains strength and momentum. Finding our next priest is crucial to meeting that challenge.

Noon Folk Mass - Please consider joining us on Sunday, April 24th for our 12:00 p.m. Folk Mass. The Folk Mass will be held Sundays at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and use the music from the Caritas. All are welcome to attend this service.

Live-Streaming the 10:00 service on April 17, 2022.

Please join us during our live-stream 10:00 Holy Eucharist Service via Facebook live, or YouTube. We can now live-stream to these two platforms simultaneously complete with Liturgy, and Music. We will send out a link via email once the livestream begins recording. If we have technical difficulties with one of the platforms, once the service has ended we will upload a recording of that service as soon as we can.

For those who do not have Facebook, you can click this link at 10:00 a.m. and watch live via Facebook (no account needed).  You can click here to watch on YouTube.

Livestreaming the 10 a.m. service at Christ Church is continuing as we test new camera angles and broadcast techniques. For the past three Sundays we have placed an iPhone camera in the back of the sanctuary above the door so that remote viewers have a better sense of what the interior of our church looks like. From time to time we can broadcast a "split screen" image from both cameras such as this one from Palm Sunday. In a month or two we anticipate installing a permanent professional camera with zoom capabilities in this rear location. Check out the live broadcast on Christ Church's Facebook page or our YouTube channel. You can also access all of the previous broadcasts on the "Recordings" page of the website here. Comments on this process are always welcome, and can be sent to the church office to be relayed to the livestream team.

If you missed the service from April 10th it can be found here.
