This coming Sunday we will hear the story of "The Hidden Treasure" from the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 13. This is one of Jesus' most important teachings and will continue our learning about his important lessons for us. We have lots of activities each Sunday as we make prayer beads, pick out our prayer boxes, and make a special gift for our mothers to celebrate Mother’s Day. It is most helpful if you sign up your children early to ensure we have enough supplies. And, please remember to mark your calendars for our Pentecost celebration, May 23rd. Please sign children up here (max 20 children).

For those who are with us on Zoom, Britton and Rudy will be with you to tell a story — these sessions begin at 9:30 AM. The meeting ID is 3205228708. Britton will let you in through the waiting room.

Each year, faith-based communities from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties come together during a week in May to build a home for a local family. All are welcome to join us in putting God’s love into action. Together, we can demonstrate the love of God and be advocates for affordable housing. There is still space available for five more volunteers on May 11, 12, 13 or 14! Volunteers will be led by Habitat's construction crew leaders and work to frame the home — no construction experience is necessary as crew leaders will teach you everything you need to know! The day begins at 8:00 AM and will be over by 2:30 PM. Pensacola Habitat is also hosting a special Faith Build picnic where volunteers can meet each other and the Pensacola Habitat Home Buyer who will be living in the home they are helping to construct! To sign up go to faithbuild.pensacolahabitat.org and click the ‘Join Faith Build’ button.

We are collecting nourishing non-perishable food items for Manna Food Pantries. Please drop off your contributions at the church by Sunday, May 16. Due to COVID-19, we are not distributing decorated grocery bags as in years past. Thank you for your contributions!

The Robinson Scholarship is a perpetual scholarship fund established at Christ Church in loving memory of Judge Grover C. Robinson, Jr., and his granddaughter, Miss Lowrey E. Robinson. This fund was established to financially assist those students who have been active in the EYC and/or the Acolyte Corps in obtaining post-secondary education. The application is available here and should be returned to Kelly Heindl in the Parish Office by Monday, June 21.

led by Fr. Michael and Rev. Katie ~ Sundays ~ 9:30 AM: Zoom

ADULT CHRISTIAN ED OFFERING ~ Faith For Our Times Sundays ~ 9:00 AM (via Zoom)

Diana Butler Bass, in her book Christianity after Religion, writes that Christian faith is trust and loyal commitment to God. She then offers ideas about how such trust and commitment affects "Behaving" (Chapter 5). Jesus says it another way: "Where your heart is, there your treasure is also." This session is a discussion about behaviors which could reflect our trust and commitment to God. Join the conversation at 9:00 AM on Sundays through the ZOOM link provided in the Saturday email. Dick Hooper and David Starling facilitate the sessions. Please click here for more information.

Each week our worship service is enhanced with beautiful fresh flowers. The altar flowers are a memorial, a thanksgiving for an anniversary, a birthday, a new birth, or a thanksgiving for God's blessings. The donation is listed in the weekly bulletin. Forms to participate in this ministry are available here.

Christ Church is here for you. There are many ministries to love and support the people who are the church. We continue to support one another, especially during this pandemic. If you are interested in assisting with staying connected to our church family, please email Rev. Katie or call her at the Parish Office, 850-432-5115. It is easy to feel alone or disconnected right now, so reach out to one of the priests or someone at the church to say hello. Contact Rev. Katie if you or anyone you know has any needs. If you have a pastoral emergency, please call our pastoral care emergency line to speak directly with one of the priests: (850) 462-5137.
