Stewardship - Christ Church is going green and saving green
Now available in pews you will find a “I gave online” reuseable card that can be placed in the offering plate by our online donors. On the opposite is a QR Code to donate by PayPal.
We are also launching new universal envelopes that are located in the pews. These will be replacing the boxed envelopes in 2025. They are less expensive, and we are printing them in house. There are check boxes for the variety of funds to which one can donate. They also include information for altar flowers on the back. Everyone who attends Christ Church is encouraged to use these envelopes as needed.
Last year we spent over $300.00 on envelopes, many of which were not used. This new program will save Christ Church money and save on paper waste.

General Convention elects new Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe
[Episcopal News Service – Louisville, Kentucky] The Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe, bishop of Northwest Pennsylvania and bishop provisional of Western New York, was elected and confirmed June 26 at the 81st General Convention to serve as the 28th presiding bishop. His nine-year term as presiding bishop, the face and voice of The Episcopal Church and its chief pastor, begins Nov. 1.
The House of Bishops elected Rowe on their first ballot in a closed session at Christ Episcopal Church in downtown Louisville. The result later was announced publicly in the afternoon session of the House of Deputies, which greeted the news with cheers. The deputies proceeded to confirm him with a nearly unanimous majority, 95% in favor, and the standing-room-only crowd erupted in applause across the hall at the Kentucky International Convention Center.
Rowe was elected from a slate of five nominees chosen through a process led by the Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop, which is made up of 20 bishops, clergy and lay leaders. The other presiding bishop nominees were Nebraska Bishop J. Scott Barker, Central New York Bishop DeDe Duncan-Probe, Pennsylvania Bishop Daniel G.P. Gutiérrez and Atlanta Bishop Robert Wright.
After the confirmation vote in the House of Deputies, bishops began filing into the hall to join the deputies, and soon Rowe arrived to address the 81st General Convention. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry introduced his successor, and Rowe began by expressing humble gratitude to the four other bishops who had discerned candidacies for presiding bishop.
“I give thanks that the five of us together made this journey together, in solidarity, for the love of this church,” Rowe said.
