Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Christ is Risen! Alleluia! This was the most special Holy Week and Easter Services since my ordination! The celebration of our redemption during Holy Week and Christ's victory for us with his Resurrection from the dead on Easter Day was felt with true enthusiasm as 244 people participated in all three of our Easter Services!
At the Easter Vigil six Sunday School children received their first Holy Eucharist: Matthew Dennis Barnabei, Charlotte Rose Healey, Logan Brian Healey, Grady Lauren Mathis, Lainey Anne Mathis, and Joanna Grace Napoli. Thanks to the dedication of parents and Sunday School teachers our children are learning the Christian Faith within the Tradition of the Episcopal Church! Our entire parish is commended for their welcoming of children in our Liturgy and worship, this has lead many young people to volunteer to participate at the altar on Sunday as shown in our pictures!
May you and your families have a Blessed Easter Season!
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Justin

Due to Holy Week there will be no Meeting/Study in March. Our next Meeting will be April 25
th at 7pm in the Parish Living Room. Everyone ais encouraged to join in the Study of the Healing Miracles at any point. It is not necessary to have begun at the beginning. This provides a wonderful opportunity to learn a lot more about each miracle and what it relates about our life.

SUNDAY COFFEE HOUR COULD USE YOUR HELP!
Coffee Hour on Sunday after the 10am Eucharist is a meaningful experience for becoming better acquainted and a great opportunity to welcome those new attending Christ Church. Recently we have not been able to enjoy this gathering regularly as there has been no one setting it up. Therefor it would be greatly appreciated if individuals or groups of people would be kind enough to volunteer. There is a sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall.
