It is time for the Christ Church September RaiseRight Order!

Paul Ambos, will be placing a new card order on the morning of 

Monday, September 11 to avoid

issues with the Labor Day weekend. Please place your orders accordingly. If you plan to mail him an order with a check, mail it by Thursday, September 7. Please advise him by email when you mail it of what your order is so he can place it on time despite possible Post Office delays. If you place your own order directly on the RaiseRight website or app, he will be able to see it there when he orders the monthly batch.

Don’t want to write a check? No problem! Use the RaiseRight payment options through your checking account or credit card (checking costs a 29 cent charge per order; credit cards charge a percentage that is usually more).  If you want physical cards delivered directly to your home, you can arrange delivery through the app. There is a charge for delivery.  If you order for delivery through Paul, the church covers the delivery charge. RaiseRight website is https://www.raiseright.com/shop.

Thank you for your support of this parish program.

The Tuesdayers' Next Book: "Freeing Jesus"

How can you still be a Christian? This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today, and it is also a question that many believers wrestle with. But while many Christians have left their churches, they cannot leave their faith behind. In "Freeing Jesus," Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence.

"Freeing Jesus" is an invitation to leave the religious wars behind and rediscover Jesus in all his many manifestations. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most. The Tuesdayers invite you to join our discussion, which will start on September 19. We meet over Zoom on Tuesdays (except the second of the month), 7:00-8:30 pm.
