This Week at Christ Church

Family First Sunday

Begins this Sunday

Join your Christ Church family this Sunday as we kick-off our Family First Sunday programming.  The first Sunday of each month is designated Family First Sunday. We have developed a  special program designed to nurture faith and build connection to your faith and the parish community.  All families meet in the courtyard at 9:30 a.m.

 *  The Christ Church playground is located behind Clare's Cottage. Enter through the open white gate at the right of the building.

Sunday Forums Return

9:00 a.m. Hinde Hall

Our Sunday forums have been on a summer hiatus and they have been missed. The forum returns this Sunday, September 9 with....

Ancestry.com - The Biblical Way

Got a looney aunt or uncle in your family tree? Did you inherit your grandfather's hairline or your mother's smile? Join us in Hinde Hall and discover who your biblical forebears are and just what you have inherited from them!

Parents drop your children off at the playground behind Clare's Cottage for supervised play, grab a cup of coffee, and come to the forum! 

Sunday Sundae

I scream, you scream....

Who doesn't love ICE CREAM? To

celebrate our Family First Sunday and another "new year" at Christ Church, everyone will have the chance to

build their own sundae after the 10:00 a.m. service. 

ALSO,  we welcome the choir as they return to worship after their summer hiatus.

The Quidditch Cup (for middle and high school youth) is a diocesan-sponsored event, Saturday, September 8, at Balboa Park from 12:30-3:30 p.m. At this Harry Potter-themed sporting event, we will be meeting with youth groups from all over the diocese for an afternoon of ridiculous fun, and getting to know one another. We will meet in the Christ Church parking lot at noon to carpool to St. Paul's Cathedral. Drivers are needed for this event. Please RSVP to Charlette Preslar by Friday, September 7 if your youth would like to attend and if you are available to drive.

Sunday Supper

A parish family meal and worship

Some of the best moments of connection happen around the family dinner table. Deep questions and silly topics provide the opportunity to share pieces of ourselves with each other. Imagine having that same opportunity with your Christ Church Family. 

This Fall, Christ Church is kicking off Sunday Supper, and you are invited! We will meet in Hinde Hall at 5:00 p.m. for a delicious meal that is sure to appeal to all ages. We will share the Word and prayers around the table and have communion as part of our time together. This comforting, engaging, and open experience is sure to become something you look forward to all month!

 

Flu Shot Clinic

Already?!?

	Be a flu fighter!

Just so you know, while it might not feel like it, fall is around the corner; and flu vaccine time will be upon us. We will once again partner with Walgreens,  Sunday, September 30 to provide flu vaccines  at Christ Church. The clinic will be open from

8:30-11:30 a.m. in the Hinde Hall library. Most insurance companies cover the immunization and Walgreens now takes Tri-Care. They will offer the enhanced version as well for those 65+. There was a great turn-out last year, and we hope you'll take advantage of this convenient opportunity. Want more info on the vaccine - check out the facts at the Walgreens website.

Increased need in summer

Children are back to school and even though lunch programs may help, the need continues for low-income families, seniors on fixed incomes, and our neighbors on the street. When you grocery shop, please pick up a few extra items for St. Mark's. The food pantry helps supplement when resources are scarce.

Basic non-perishable items are always needed:  canned vegetables, beans (canned and dried, but not green), canned fruit, canned protein, pasta sauce, canned tomatoes, peanut butter and jelly, cereals, oatmeal, rice, canned soups, pastas, chili, cooking oil, and single-serving items for their homeless guests.

You may bring your donations to church on Sunday or drop them by the parish office during the week.
