Our annual stewardship drive kicks off this Sunday! This time last year we gathered together for a festive meal to celebrate the start of our campaign and we look forward to doing so again in 2021. This year, however, we will embrace our new technological skills to bring you messages of Faith, Hope, and Love from members of parish family. Watch the Sunday worship online and for postings on the parish website and Facebook page for weekly updates.

Look for your stewardship materials to arrive in your mailbox this week and tune in to this Sunday's online worship to hear an important kick-off message from Sr. Warden and Mtr. Regan!

Come join us at this week's Fireside Chat, Saturday evening, October 24 at 7:00 p.m. Zoom in for some thoughtful discussion with fellow parishioners. Remember - you'll need a passcode to enter - the Fireside Chat passcode is: fireside. This week's question:

Do you have a topic you'd like to discuss? Join us at the fireside with your thoughts!

Worship with us this Sunday, either in person or online, at 10:00 a.m. If you plan to attend in person remember that no preregistration is necessary. Remember, masks are mandatory!

If you prefer to worship online, our regularly scheduled online service will be available at 10:00 a.m. on YouTube and Facebook.

Remember you may drop off your Thanksgiving food donations and/or a monetary donation this Sunday.

The Sunday Lectionary covers only a small portion of the Bible. The goal of the new Christ Church Bible Study is to read and discuss the entire Bible in an all-inclusive, small group setting. Eager for the rest of the story?  Please join us each Tuesday evening from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m.! 

We'll begin Tuesday, October 27th. 

The first set of readings, which we will discuss at our first meeting, is Genesis chapters 1-7, and Psalm 1. We recommend using a study Bible, and we welcome various translations. Each has its own special insights.

Meetings will begin with a Collect and a reading of the assigned Psalm. The bulk of the time will be an open discussion, prompted by study questions from various Bibles, book and chapter introductions, published commentary, and most importantly, your thoughts. Read more....

Christ Church will be honoring Dia de los Muertos as part of our All Saints Day celebration this year. Sunday, November 1st, there will be a traditional Dia de los Muertos altar set in the Memorial Garden. A traditional altar usually includes pictures of the departed, candles, marigolds, pan de muerto, and many other items. We would like to invite you to bring in photographs of your departed loved ones to include on the altar. Pictures should be 4 x 6, or smaller, and be in a frame.

All pictures should be brought to the Christ Church office no later than Thursday, October 29th at 2:00 p.m. You can visit the altar between 9:00 a.m. and noon on Sunday, November 1st. Please practice social distancing and wait in the courtyard if another family group is in visiting the altar.

If you would prefer to send in a photo for an online memorial slide show...Read more that Sunday click the button and send your photo to the parish office along with the name of your loved one. All online photos must be received by Wednesday afternoon, October 28 @ 4:00 p.m.

Everyone is invited to join Charlette on the lawn on Sunday, November 1st at 10:00 a.m. for Family First Sunday. This month's offering falls on All Saints Day! In addition to celebrating this important feast day, there will also be a Dia de los Muertos altar set in the memorial garden. Families are invited to spend a few minutes at the altar either before or after the service.

After the service there will be a gratitude scavenger hunt; a perfect kick-off to a 30-day Gratitude Challenge! Watch for more information on this in the weeks ahead. We will be on the lawn under the trees. Members of the same household are allowed to sit together. Please keep six feet of physical distance from other groups. Please wear your mask and bring your own blanket or beach chair.

Thank you to all of the parishioners and CCDS students who have already brought in their Thanksgiving food bags. Each complete bag brings us closer to our goal of 150. Each and every bag will be a blessing to a family in need - more families than ever this year. There are two ways to help:

1.) Buy all of the items on the list below and return your filled bag to church, the parish office, or the Thrift Shop garage on Wednesdays between 10:00-11:00 a.m.:

2.) Donate monetarily so we can purchase all the fixin’s and pack a bag for you.

As part of our annual Thanksgiving Food drive, we are also modeling an attitude of gratitude! What are you thankful for this year? Snap a picture of yourself with your bag of Thanksgiving food for the drive, post it to social media and use the hashtag #givethanks. Don't forget to tag @nadochristchurch on Instagram and @christchurchcoronado on FaceBook. You can add a comment about what you're thankful for this year. If you're not on social media, just send your photo and comment to Charlette or Christie and they can post it for you.

It's been a challenging year, but we still have so much to be thankful for. This year's Father’s Day pie sale to benefit Vida Joven was such a smashing success, we thought we’d offer a Thanksgiving version! We will be selling homemade pumpkin, pecan, and apple pies for $30 each to enjoy with your Thanksgiving feast, and we need your help! If you’d like to bake a pie (or two!), sign up with Sarah Shealy We will be signing up bakers through November 6.

From November 8-22, parishioners will be able to place their orders for pies! Read more...

Join us Tuesdays at noon to Pray for Justice and Peace. This ecumenical group will continue to meet Tuesdays at noon through election day and possibly beyond. Gather at Spreckles Park across the street from the library and bring your beach chair if you'd like.

Mtr. Regan will be arriving soon and we want to help her become acquainted with the parish family. Being unable to meet face-to-face makes this even more challenging. Since we will not be able to snap a photo of you for our Realm database we've asking that you do it for us. It is more important than ever to:

Despite the fact that the church building has remained empty of worshippers since March, the life of the church has carried on non-stop. Your on-going support of Christ Church has enabled that work to continue.

As we enter the final quarter of 2020 and the 2021 stewardship campaign is beginning you might wonder, "Where do I stand on this year's giving?" Goodness knows, this year, it's sometimes hard to remember even what day it is!

If you're not sure of your year-to-date donations simply contact Christie Tugend and she can email you a statement right away. Also, if you find that keeping up with your estimated giving for 2020 has been difficult, please let us know. Remember, your annual "pledge" is your best "estimate" of what you will be able to contribute to the mission and ministries of Christ Church in any given year.

These will be available on the Diocesan Facebook page and on their YouTube channel.
