Dear Friends,
Please join us on Sunday, July 17th, for a Rite I service at 8 am with Holy Eucharist, and/or for the Rite II service at 10 am with Holy Eucharist and Music. If you cannot attend the 10 am service, join us virtually on Facebook Live as it is live-streamed. Those that do not have a Facebook can find the services on the Christ Church's website at www.christspringfield.org. All of the Christ Church's media links are above on the right-hand side.
The Quiet Room!
The Nursery Room is now a Quiet Room equipped with a Pack & Play crib and a changing table with fresh supplies. The door to the room will remain open during all services. Please feel free to use this space, but the sound of a baby in the church is always a Joyful Noise! Christ Church loves new babies!
In-Person Worship
We would like to remind everyone that we installed Ionization air purifiers on all heating systems for both the church building and Hollenbeck House. For those that are unfamiliar with Ionization units, they are commonly used in hospitals and health care locations to kill airborne viruses and other pathogens. They are also effective against odors. Ionization units are proven to be effective against SARS, MERS, RINO, and Influenza viruses. We have made the atmosphere at the church as high quality as possible to make you feel comfortable attending in-person worship. We want everyone to feel WELCOME at Christ Church.

Join this Becoming Beloved Community Circle of Practice as we TURN and follow Jesus. We'll be re-TURNING to the roots of our faith tradition, exploring together the essence of our Episcopal Faith. What does it mean to you to be Episcopalian? What aspects of the Episcopal tradition bring you life? Why do you choose the Episcopal way? Naming and bearing witness to the beauty of our traditions is an important step in the reformation and transformation of ourselves, individually and corporately. Let us join together as we become a church that looks and acts like Jesus.
SOUP!!
If you like to make soup and nurture others, this is the ministry for you! We need homemade soup brought to the church in a disposable container with the type of soup and date written on the lid, and placed in the church refrigerator. Then, let Kelly Zeller know that you have dropped off the soup. The soup will be used for people in the parish needing a little TLC. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Zeller at zellerk0611@gmail.com. Thank you so much for considering helping with this ministry!
