Welcome Jane Ford

We are excited to announce the appointment of Jane Ford as our new Family Ministry Coordinator. Jane’s journey with the Episcopal church began as a young camper at Bishop Claggett Center in the Diocese of Maryland. A dozen years later, she was made a Sr. Counselor and worked in leadership roles with young people of all ages. Jane has done mission work in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Matthew and in North Carolina during flood relief efforts. She enjoys hiking, backpacking, and kayaking. She lives in Edgewater with her family and two cats (ask her about Pi & Tau). Her family worships at St. Andrew the Fisherman, Edgewater. Jane is excited about joining the Staff of Christ Church Parish and meeting you as we continue to build and grow our ministry with our children, youth, and families.  

Jane can be reached at familyministry@ccpki.org.

20 x 23 Choir Campaign is Here, and      

We Need Your Voice!

This past Spring you read about our goal to have 20 members in our Parish Choir by the end of 2023. Now is that time for us to achieve our goal! If you have sung in the choir in the past, have considered singing in the choir, or just like to sing, now is the time to join the choir. No formal training is necessary, and auditions are not required.

One of the great features of our choir is that we do not routinely have weeknight rehearsals! Rehearsals are held after the 10 a.m. service on Sundays, so the general time commitment (including the worship service) is from about 9:15-12:30 on Sunday mornings.

The choir is a powerful small group of singers who care deeply about each other while we walk together on our spiritual journey. By leading our singing, the choir provides a crucial component of worship each week and at the same time offers great rewards to those who participate. By singing with the choir, you will learn more about music, singing, and how to work as a cohesive group.

If you are interested in joining the choir for the 22-23 season, please talk to Gary Van Essen (music@ccpki.org) or any choir member. And plan to join us at our kickoff breakfast and rehearsal on Saturday, September 10^th from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m.  

FREE COVID-19 Tests are available in the Church Narthex. Although the package shows an expiration date of 07/20/2022 the tests are still good for 6 months after that date. Pick up yours today.

Coming this Week

Monday Night Bible Study

In-Person and Zoom

Beginning September 12, 2022

7:00 – 8:30 PM

The First Paul: Reclaiming the Radical Visionary Behind the Church’s Conservative Icon examines the progression of Paul’s letters and the change in his attitudes and stances on important points, like his changing views on slavery and the patriarchy. The book argues that Paul becomes the ideal figurehead of the Roman church, instead of the radical figure that he clearly was, and tries to renegotiate his place in modern Christianity.

Centering Saturdays Return

Centering Prayer is the simple act of regularly returning our attention to God. In God’s light we see more clearly our place in creation and God’s desire for our collaboration.

The regular practice of Centering Prayer leads to a more intimate union with God and powerful experience of God’s presence in our lives. This active presence heals, transforms, and offers freedom and peace. 

Join us Saturday, September 17 from 9:30 to 11:30 as we encourage one another in this practice. There will be teaching and a chance to sit together in silence. Invite a friend. All are welcome. We’ll meet the 3^rd Saturday of the month through the end of the year.

It is almost time to open the shelter for 2022-2023 season. We are glad to have your assistance for another season to help make our clients journey a little less of a burden. I'm asking you to provide dinners for the guests and staff as you did last year.
