Dear Friends,

Please join us on Sunday, October 23rd, 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 Christ Church's media links are above on the right-hand side. 

Stewardship News “Shining our Light” 

We will welcome outreach ministry groups that Christ Church supports during the announcements at the 10 am service. Sunday, October 23rd, we will listen to Terry Fredrich speak on the Jefferson Street Oasis Garden and how your support makes a difference and lets their light shine! The pledge packets have been mailed out. Please contact Kelly Zeller at zellerk0611@gmail.com if you did not receive one. Thank you!!

Pledges

If you would like an update on what you have given thus far in fulfillment of your pledge for 2022, please email Kelly Zeller at zellerk0611@gmail.com for a statement.

Nostalgia Notice

We will keep a scrapbook in the Guild Room for you to browse at your leisure. The scrapbook will be changed each month, so you will get a chance to see the large collection of Christ Church History and memories, which was compiled through years of work by Juanita Artis and Anita Beardsell.

The pictures have been dated, and the names of the people are included. Juanita and Anita checked and identified all the people in the pictures.

I think you will enjoy looking through these books. Many thanks to Juanita Artis and Anita Beardsell!!!

African Bible Study Tuesdays at 12 pm!

African Bible Study or Sacred Reading (Lectio Divina) is on Tuesdays at noon, and we use the below Zoom link: 

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85856795275pwd=NHRBQlZvRU9PL1h3dWFuMmJBa2NHdz09

This Bible study is a structured, meditative approach to learning about our Christian faith from scripture. It not only discourages but also disallows crosstalk during the collective reading. It encourages self-reflection as well as listening to others. 

We hope people who are interested will join us in this empowering group study of scripture. If you have questions, write Pat Cary at sisterpcocd2@hotmail.com or Keith Doubt at kdoubt@gmail.com. Each week we will read the Lectionary reading for the forthcoming Sunday.  We hope you consider joining us!

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!
