Join us this fall with an interactive journey to connect us with fellow parishioners and dig deeper into God’s Word. We will be using Bible Project to lead us in our study. As the people of Christ Church, we will read the entire New Testament over the course of two fall semesters. Click here for the readings and links.

September 16 – Pastor Tyler Burns — Pastor Burns is a prominent voice in the discussions around race in Christianity. He is the pastor of New Dimensions Christian Center, author, podcaster (check out Pass the Mic podcast), and Vice President of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective.

In partnership with Allen Chapel AME, Christ Church gives away 10,000 pounds of food twice a month. The next mobile food pantry dates are Thursday, September 10 and Saturday, September 26. To sign up to help, email Honey Harris.

Christ Church works with the leadership of Montclair Elementary to amplify the school's efforts and bless the students. While we cannot provide mentors and tutors like we have in the past, the school’s administration will be working with us on needs that they may have as school starts back.

Christ Church has many ministries that love and support the people who are the church. We will continue to work to support one another through good times and bad, especially during this pandemic. To assist in one of the many ways that we reach out to our church family, email Fr. Walt.

If you have a pastoral emergency, please call our pastoral care emergency line to speak directly with one of the priests: (850) 462-5137.

In the midst of this pandemic, Bridging the Gap has not only continued to feed hundreds of people under the bridge, but expanded their efforts because the need is so great. While many programs for the homeless shut down, every Thursday night people can depend on a good meal, although now food is distributed in grab-and-go containers. Also, thanks to the initiative of several Christ Church members, dog food is being distributed to people who love their dogs but have no money. In addition, Bridging the Gap provides food for "walk-ups" during our food distributions. This ready-to-eat food fills the needs of people without refrigerators or kitchens.

To help with this vital ministry, you can email Honey Harris, talk to the Coopers, send a check with "Bridging the Gap" on the memo line, or donate food like dried pasta, dried rice, instant potatoes, or ready-to-eat food such as pop-top cans of chili or ravioli.

We have been serving around 200 families each food distribution. Our next food distribution days will be Thursday, September 10 and Saturday, September 26, partnering with Allen Chapel AME Church and distributing food at 500 N. Guillemard St. We need volunteers to work a shift in the morning to either sort or distribute food. Volunteer duties range from directing traffic and filling out forms for families, to more labor-involved duties of sorting and distributing food. While it is outdoors and we take precautions like masks, please do not volunteer if you are at a high risk of infection or if you are not feeling well. Please email Honey Harris to volunteer.

On Rally Day, we will kick off our Fall programming. The programs will begin in an online format and are adaptable to be in person when it is safe to gather again. There will be ways for all ages to be connected, including programming for youth and children.

This is a curriculum designed by the Episcopal Church to aid local parishes in Becoming Beloved Community through "a transformational conversation about race." This Sunday at 9:30 AM there will be an informational Zoom meeting to give an overview of expectations and texts for the course. These lessons could possibly be very helpful for anyone who lives or works in a diverse environment and desires to improve communication and relationships. The dialogue will be facilitated by Dick Hooper and David Starling. Please email David Starling or contact him by text/phone (850) 712-0977 to sign-up or for more information.

Our weekly Africa 🇺🇬 EYC Book Club on ZOOM

Surprise special guests from Uganda ministries will join us as we read about a teen who moved from Nashville, TN to Uganda in faith — and the challenges to trust God while in Africa. This book club is for guys and girls of all ages. It is a New York Times Bestseller – and one of Britton's personal favorites! You do not need to RSVP to come to the book club and there is no "homework" or reading to participate in this book club! Purchasing a book is not necessary. We will be screen-sharing an e-book, but if you would like to purchase a book it is Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis.
