Dear Friends,

Welcome, Rev. Cricket Park! Please join us on Sunday, October 2nd, for a Rite I service at 8 am with Holy Eucharist, and/or for the Rite II service at 10 am with Holy Eucharist and Music. If you cannot attend the 10 am service, join us virtually on Facebook Live as it is live-streamed. Those that do not have a Facebook can find the services on the Christ Church's website at www.christspringfield.org. All of Christ Church's media links are above on the right-hand side.

African Bible Study Tuesdays at 12 pm!

African Bible Study or Sacred Reading (Lectio Divina) is on Tuesdays at noon, and we use the below Zoom link: 

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85856795275pwd=NHRBQlZvRU9PL1h3dWFuMmJBa2NHdz09

This Bible study is a structured, meditative approach to learning about our Christian faith from scripture. It not only discourages but also disallows crosstalk during the collective reading. It encourages self-reflection as well as listening to others. 

We hope people who are interested will join us in this empowering group study of scripture. If you have questions, write Pat Cary at sisterpcocd2@hotmail.com or Keith Doubt at kdoubt@gmail.com. Each week we will read the Lectionary reading for the forthcoming Sunday.  We hope you consider joining us!

Plastic Bottle Caps

Joy Meyers is the music teacher at Fulton Elementary School in Springfield. Fulton Elementary is collecting clean plastic caps, such as water bottle caps, laundry detergent caps, or even toothpaste caps. They are collecting the plastic caps for a second bench to be made in honor of one of their students who died. There is a box by the elevator, or you can drop them off at the Parish office.

SOUP!!

If you like to make soup and nurture others, this is the ministry for you! We need homemade soup brought to the church in a disposable container with the type of soup and date written on the lid, and placed in the church refrigerator. Then, let Kelly Zeller know that you have dropped off the soup. The soup will be used for people in the parish needing a little TLC. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Zeller at zellerk0611@gmail.com. Thank you so much for considering helping with this ministry!
