The Interfaith Rotating Shelter is BACK!

The Interfaith Rotating Shelter returns to Christ Church for our second and final week of hosting February 12-19. 

Each year, area houses of worship—including Christ Church—open their doors to provide a warm place to sleep for men on the waiting list to get a bed at Ozanam Inn or other facilities. We have an urgent need for overnight volunteers: Christ Church parishioners were able to fill just under half of volunteer slots for our last week of hosting. This typically includes signing in the guests, helping to serve dinner, being a friendly face to chat, and making coffee in the morning. Volunteers at Christ Church sleep in the choir room, across the hall from the guests; you can sign up for a partial shift if you can't stay the whole time. If you can't stay the night, consider preparing a meal for the guests or helping out in other ways. The coordinators Jason Kaelber (508 439 2806) and Chahar Rogers can be contacted at: interfaithrotatingshelter@gmail.com, or you can sign up at this link.

Vestry Secretary Needed! Is it you? 

We are currently looking for a secretary for our monthly Vestry meetings. This is a 3-4 hour/month volunteer position.  The ministry includes:

1. Attending Vestry meetings via Zoom (every second Tuesday of the month at 7:30p.m.).

2. Taking minutes at each meeting.

3. Submitting a draft of the minutes to the Executive Committee.



The 3-4 hours/month is inclusive of the Vestry meeting time and the time it takes to fix up the minutes for submission.

Return of Coffee Hour

Dear Christ Church members,

On behalf of the Fellowship Committee, it gives me great pleasure in announcing the return of coffee hour for the 10:30 AM services. This is a decision of the Executive Committee members of Christ Church. Since we are still experiencing smaller numbers of in - person attendees for this service, the request for hosting a coffee hour will be modified until further notice. In addition to signing the Sign - Up sheet located on the notice board by the Nicholas Room, each host/hostess will be asked to bring some cookies or a comparable alternative as well as a juice item to be served for fellowship attendees.  Thanks for your co-operation.

Wendy Benjamin – on behalf of the Fellowship Committee.
