Vestry Secretary Needed! Is it you? 

We are currently looking for a secretary for our monthly Vestry meetings. This is a 3-4 hour/month volunteer position.  The ministry includes:

1. Attending Vestry meetings via Zoom (every second Tuesday of the month at 7:30p.m.).

2. Taking minutes at each meeting.

3. Submitting a draft of the minutes to the Executive Committee.



The 3-4 hours/month is inclusive of the Vestry meeting time and the time it takes to fix up the minutes for submission.

The Interfaith Rotating Shelter is BACK!

After two years' hiatus to address the growing number of people on the street in our city. Each year, area houses of worship—including Christ Church—open their doors to provide a warm place to sleep for men on the waiting list to get a bed at Ozanam Inn or other facilities. We have an urgent need for overnight volunteers from December 11 through March, February 12-19 when the shelter will be hosted by Christ Church. This typically includes signing in the guests, helping to serve dinner, being a friendly face to chat, and making coffee in the morning. Volunteers at Christ Church sleep in the choir room, across the hall from the guests; you can sign up for a partial shift if you can't stay the whole time. If you can't stay the night, consider preparing a meal for the guests or helping out in other ways. You can sign up at this link or by contacting coordinators

The Tuesdayers' Next Book: 

"Zealot: Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth"

Sifting through centuries of myth-making, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history’s most enigmatic figures by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived. Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction. He explores the reasons the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about his divinity. The Tuesdayers invite you to join our discussion. We meet weekly over Zoom HERE on Tuesdays, 7:00-8:30 pm. For more information contact Jonathan Clark at im4canoes@yahoo.com.

Prayers requested for:

Arnold, Chahar, Christine, Dale, Fred, Hugo, Jacqueline, Joy, Karl, Larry, Penelope, Sarah, Timothy, and Winsome.
