FEEDING CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES |
B Safe is continuing the B Love grocery distribution this fall because an overwhelming number of St. Stephen's Youth Program families are in economic crisis. We need 25 bags for 10/15 (next Thursday!) and 25 for 11/19.
They will use as many as we can get, more bags or less bags, will be welcomed. If you have any questions please email or call me. Christ Church has always taken care of those in need.

There has been something missing in the hymn singing…you. We are seeking to widen the circle of voices that offers choral music as part of our weekly worship services. Please consider adding your voice to the congregational hymns and perhaps join the Choir as well. We now have the opportunity to include you from your home, and it’s easier than you think. Click the link below to the invitation from our Music Director, Pamela Goody. |
