Due to Hurricane Sally and the flooding of the Washburn Center, our neighbors without homes are in great need of toiletries, including bars of soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, disposable razors, hand sanitizer, wash clothes, socks, and hand cream.

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 throughout the school year.

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.

We have been serving around 200 families each food distribution. Our next food distribution day will be Thursday, November 19, 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.

We are collecting nourishing non-perishable food items for Manna Food Pantries. Please drop off your contributions at the church by Thursday, November 19. Due to COVID-19, we are not distributing decorated grocery bags as in years past. Thank you for your contributions!

Thus far, we have made more than 30 cards for the Wesley Haven facility. The children are painting crosses, hearts and rainbows on their cards and some are making amazing designs with watercolors. Please join us either in-church or as a Zoomer. Parents, please sign children up here (max 12 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.

Reminder to parents: Please bring your children directly to the Parish Hall prior to the 10:30 church service. You will enter from the courtyard and breezeway and sign your children in at the Parish Hall door. You and your children will need to wear a mask and remember the guidelines for social distancing.

On Sunday, November 15, the class will use "Session 7: Selective Access to the Melting Pot and the American Dream: 1830s - 1960s" as a resource for our conversation. The significant question to discuss is, "Who is given and who is denied access to resources intended to enhance the well-being of our citizens?" A Zoom connection is our means of conversing from 9:15-10:00 AM on Sundays and is facilitated by Dick Hooper and David Starling. Join the dialogue through the ZOOM link available in the Saturday announcements. Please click here for more information.

Tuesday, November 10 ~ 6:00-7:30 PM (via Zoom)

EfM will enrich your spiritual life. It is designed for lay people with big questions and a hunger to better understand our faith. We join together weekly to study Old Testament, New Testament, church history and theological thinking in a four year program but you only commit to one academic year at a time. The seminar builds fellowship, understanding and a sense of how God is working in your life. Registration for our new year begins in December. For additional information, contact Pam Tanner.
