Keeping Connected

Rector's Reflection

Dear Ones of Christ Church,


I was harvesting columbine seeds from my garden last night. As I shook the tiny black seeds out of the dried husks of the seed pods, marveling at how many there were, I was thinking about the parable of the sower (also known as the parable of the soils and the parable of the harvest… I think we could also call it the parable of the seeds!).

The Poets' Corner


The Poets’ Corner is six 60-minute weekly sessions for people curious about poetry. In each session we discuss an eclectic range of works, three poems by women and men from various cultures and times. At Christ Church we are invited to pay attention to life. Poetry helps us do that, and no question or comment about the selected poems can be wrong. Each session starts after the Sunday 9 AM service. Please bring your name tag and any coffee-hour refreshments to the upstairs conference room. Poems will be provided. Peter Trenouth is your host. The Poets’ Corner starts June 14.

Christ Church is offering a series of get togethers designed for anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one, whether the death is recent or in the past. Participants will have the opportunity to share where they are on their grief journey, receive mutual support, share ways to cope, and may, through prayer and meditation, find new strength and hope to continue on their healing journey.  

Church School

Christ Church Thrift Shoppe


Community outreach is all important to us and at the Thrift Shoppe this summer we focused our efforts on camperships for children in the area. But other community needs are great and continue. With that in mind, would you take a look in your jewelry box to see if you have that odd gold or silver earring? That broken gold or silver bracelet? What about an old kinked chain? Put it to good use for the community outreach efforts at the Christ Church Thrift Shoppe! Bring in those items you have just sitting around and have them benefit the community, our neighbors and friends, who could use our support. Many thanks for being part of the Thrift Shoppe community.
