On April 25th, you should have receive a link to an online simple survey that will assist us to gauge the strength, vitality, needs and trends of Christ Episcopal Church. The information obtained in this assessment will be extremely valuable in helping us all make the best decision regarding the future of our Church.

Please go online and by clicking on the link provided tell us about your experiences and your priorities for Christ Church. Please do not discuss the survey or your answers with anyone as this may influence their responses. Hard copies of the survey will be available in the narthex each Sunday for the next two weeks.

           Additionally, we have scheduled two meeting times in the event anyone would like to meet with members of the committee to share any additional thoughts, concerns or share what you want in a Rector. The meetings will be held May 1st right after the 10:00 Sunday service and on Thursday May 5th, at noon. Both meetings will be held in the conference room in the Office building.
