Community Outreach, the first 2 Sundays in August we collected school supplies for local public schools. Notebook paper, packs of pencils, rubber erasers, crayons, blunt nose scissors. We had a wonderful collection of items donated.

Pictured are a few students from Sallas Mahone posing with our donated school supplies. Thank you for your continued support of our community outreach programs.

Live-Streaming this week of the 10:00 service on August 21, 2022 will begin at 9:55 a.m. If for any reason we experience Technical difficulties with the Live-streaming, a recording of the service will be uploaded and a link sent to the congregation at a later time.

In the event you missed it, here is a video of the August 14, 2022 - Holy Eucharist Service.

Did you enjoy hearing Chris Rutland's solo during the offertory on Sunday, August 14? Did you miss it? Would you like to hear it again or for the first time? Here's a video clip of that section of the worship service that was made by Larry Wisenbaker, a member of the church's livestreaming team.

The Stitchers of Love are now meeting twice a month on the first and third Sundays in the Parish Hall from 4 to 6 p.m. All are welcome. We will teach anyone who is interested in learning to knit or crochet. The next meeting is August 21st.

CAC Project Update: Keep those stuffed animals coming. The Children's Advocacy Center appreciates our donations of stuffed animals to comfort the children who come to the center for appointments. They schedule over 125 appointments each month, so we can always use more. If you have questions, please contact Patricia Marks at spmarks@bellsouth.net, or Julia Ariail at juliacariail@gmail.com. Thanks for your help.

Sunday Evening Vespers - a group of Christ Church members meet on Zoom (2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays) at 6:00 p.m. to read the Compline Service, pages 127-135 in the Book of Common Prayer and for friendly conversation afterwards. The first and third Sundays of the month we will meet in-person, but will make an audio recording available after Vespers for those unable to attend in-person.
