Dear Friends,
Please join us on All Saints Sunday, November 6th, 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.
All Saints Day, Day of Change, and Blessing of Pledge Cards~ Sunday, Nov. 6th!
We will remember those loved ones who have gone before us with prayer, candles, and music. As our clocks fall back an hour, we will collect loose change (bills gladly accepted too!) to support Christ Church Food Pantry. Baskets will be passed at each service for this offering. If you are unable to attend the service, feel free to drop off your change at the Parish office! Just contact Kelly Zeller at zellerk0611@gmail.com.
We bless the Pledge cards, the offering of our life and labor to God through our pledge cards. See you at the 8 am or 10 am service!

Toys Needed for Promise Neighborhood Christmas Store!
Once again, our friends in Springfield's Promise Neighborhood are hosting a Christmas Store from December 7th through the 9th, with the Christmas dinner on December 10th. Promise Neighborhood residents can visit the store and choose from gifts that have been donated by church folks and other community members. The Christmas Store accepts donations of NEW toys/gifts for babies through teenagers. You can bring your items to the church on or before Sunday, November 27th. On November 27th, we'll bless the gifts during the worship service and then turn them over to the Promise Neighborhood leadership.
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!
Wednesday Chapel Service
Just in case you missed Judy Johnson's Wednesday Noonday Prayer service this past Wednesday, here it is! Join Judy Johnson on Wednesday, November 9th, at noon on Facebook.
