Kidurgy All Summer |
|
This year, we will have Kidurgy for our young children throughout the summer. Kidurgy is a child-friendly liturgy of the Word which takes place during the 9:15 service on Sunday. The children gather in the Parish Hall to sing, read scripture and pray from their own bulletins. There is even a short homily. Then they return to the church to receive communion with their families.

If you would like to glorify the altar at Christ Church by donating flowers in honor or in memory of a loved one or friend, please contact Ethel Horton at 912-634-8327.

Icon Writing Workshop in August |
|
Icon
writing is much more than learning to paint an
icon; a painting depicting Jesus, Mary, angels or saints. Orthodox Christians consider making
icons more a form of prayer than art, and believe the writer's hand is guided by God as s/he writes in paint. Each brush stroke is a meditative act. Those who have painted
icons describe the experience as deeply spiritual and faith-enhancing.
Our instructor is Fr. David Holland, who has been teaching icon writing for
24
years. No previous artistic ability is needed. Fr.
David
has never had anyone not finish an
icon
. We will
write
the
icons
shown above.
Our icon writing workshop August 20th-26th is limited to 16 people, so please register soon. We will meet in the Christ Church Parish Hall from 5:00 to 8:00 pm on Sunday - Thursday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm on Friday and 8:30 am - 12:00 pm on Saturday.
The only thing you need to bring is a willing spirit, as Fr. David will furnish all materials and instruction. On Sunday, August 27, our icons will be blessed during Sunday morning services. The cost for the workshop is $425. To register, call the church office at 912-638-8683. For more information, contact Mtr. Becky at [email protected] or give her a call.

Books Are Still Needed for the GEM Summer Reading Program! |
|
GEM (Glynn Episcopal Ministries) really needs your help with our weekly summer reading and
meal pack program at St. Athanasius. We are collecting new and gently used books for the children who visit to read and take home, along with the food packs we provide. Right now, the supply of books is extremely low, so we're asking all who can, to please donate any new or gently used children's books to help build our library. Books may be dropped off at the church office in the Parish House at Christ Church.
For questions and information about signing up to help with this outreach, please contact Becky Matthews at 912-268-2689.

Backpack Buddies - How You Can Help |
|
Backpack Buddies is part of Christ Church, Frederica's hunger outreach mission to our local community. This program is celebrating its sixth year in our local schools and its third year of summer programming. It allows our parishioners to live our faith in Christ through food ministry to the disadvantaged. Especially vulnerable are our community's disadvantaged children. Food insecurity is pervasive in children in inner city Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia. Sixty-three percent (approximately 3900) of area elementary school students receive free or reduced price meals during the school week. However, these children lack a reliable source of food on the weekends and during the summer months. Backpack Buddies can feed a child for about $10.00 a month, $50.00 for a half year or $100 for the full 10 month school year. This provides for the food purchase, the storage bag, and gives us a small allowance for special items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, fresh fruit. For more information about how you can get involved, please contact Susan Shipman at
[email protected] or (912) 222-9206.

Coffee Hour Hosts Needed

|

We need volunteers for two-person teams who are willing to bring light refreshments once every four months. If you would like to make Sundays even more meaningful, call Christine at 540-270-1215 or email [email protected] for more information.

St. Andrew's and St. Cyprian's Fund Raiser |
|
Our friends at St. Andrew's and St. Cyprian's Episcopal Churches in Darien are hard at work on their capital
campaign to build a new parish house that both congregations will share. As part of their fund raising effort, they are raffling off a beautiful 1962 Ford Thunderbird Roadster - one of only 450 made that year. This car has won car
show ribbons and has been
appraised at over $50,000. If you are interested in buying a raffle ticket to help this worthy cause (and the opportunity to win a fine automobile) please call 912-258-4619. Tickets are $100 and only a maximum of 1000 will be sold. The drawing will take place on July 4, 2017 and you need not be present to win.
