Wednesdays during Lent ~ 7:00 PM, via Zoom

Easter lilies and spring flowers make our Easter services visually glorious each year. We invite all parishioners to share in the experience through a memorial or thanksgiving gift. Names of the loved ones you honor or remember will be printed in the Easter bulletin. Flower Dedication forms are available here and are due no later than Friday, March 26. Please return your form to Kelly Heindl in the Parish Office.

This coming Sunday we will return to lessons from our Jesus Storybook Bible and hear the story of the Lord’s Prayer. This will provide an opportunity for the children to learn about different ways to ask for God’s help in prayers. As we get closer to Easter, we will have a special Palm Sunday story and talk about the importance of Holy Week. In addition, we will have a feast featuring some of the foods Jesus may have eaten. This is always a happy Sunday before we move into the solemn time of Holy Week. Be sure and sign your children up for these important Sundays in the life of our church. Newcomers and friends are always welcome. Parents: Be on the lookout for information about services for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter. Please sign children up here (max 20 children).

For those who are with us on Zoom, Britton Lynn and Rudy will be with you to tell this story — these sessions begin at 9:30 AM. The meeting ID is 3205228708. Britton will let you in through the waiting room.

We have been serving around 200 families each food distribution. Our next food distribution day will be Saturday, March 27, 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.

Just $80 will purchase an animal which gives you naming rights for your cow or goat. A donation of $40 will provide a half of an animal, and any amount will support Episcopal Relief & Development providing animals and training to families in poverty. This year 1/3 of the money raised will go for COVID19 Relief Kits. Pink “March Madness” envelopes and forms can be found in the pews if you attend in-person services, or you may mail a check (indicating which animal and its name) to Christ Church, 18 West Wright St., Pensacola, FL 32501. Please make your check payable to Christ Church. For your convenience, you may also pay online here (select "outreach" from the drop down menu on the giving page).

Remember, purchasing an animal gives you naming rights. The cleverest, funniest names will be acknowledged by Father Michael at the end of the campaign, and the donors will receive prizes! Please email Honey Harris with your choice of animal and name given in order to be included in the naming competition! For questions, you may contact Honey Harris.

Just wanted to give my thanks for everyone at the church for your concern and prayers for me when I was sick. I really appreciate it. — Cleveland Swift

led by Fr. Michael and Rev. Katie ~ Sundays, 9:30 AM: Zoom

Some people find working in a garden or yard to be a soothing experience and Jesus may have been one of those. He choose to go to a garden in Gethsemane for his last moments of freedom. There he expresses his grief, and finds solace and strength to face the events of the next few days. This session examines Jesus' time in the garden and how each of us can find a place to renew and strengthen our relationship with God. Dick Hooper and David Starling facilitate this study at 9:00 AM on Sunday mornings through ZOOM. Join the class through the link available in the Saturday announcements. Please click here for more information.

Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. The altar flowers are a memorial, a thanksgiving for an anniversary, a birthday, a new birth, or a thanksgiving for God's blessings. The donation is listed in the weekly bulletin. Forms to participate in this ministry are available here.

Christ Church is here for you. There are many ministries to love and support the people who are the church. We continue to support one another, especially during this pandemic. If you are interested in assisting with staying connected to our church family, please email Rev. Katie or call her at the Parish Office, 850-432-5115. It is easy to feel alone or disconnected right now, so reach out to one of the priests or someone at the church to say hello. Contact Rev. Katie if you or anyone you know has any needs. If you have a pastoral emergency, please call our pastoral care emergency line to speak directly with one of the priests: (850) 462-5137.
