February 3rd!

This Week at Christ Church
|
Sunday Supper in January
This Sunday, January 13!
|
|
|
January 13 @5:00 p.m.
|
One Sunday a month there's a chance for the parish family to come together for a simple supper and to worship in an informal setting. Maybe Sunday morning services are hard for you to make - lots of activities, not a morning person, cranky children - well this is a wonderful way to be together in a relaxed setting (and you don't have to worry about cooking!)
We hope you'll join us on
January 13 at 5:00 p.m. in Hinde Hall. A quick RSVP by Thursday morning, January 10 will help us plan for dinner. Just
contact the parish office and let us know how many there will be attending.

Adult Forums in January
Praying the Collects
|
|
|
For complete information click image
|
The new year begins with a new forum series, Praying the Collects in the Book of Common Prayer.(BCP).
This Epiphany we are going to use the 9:00 a.m. forum time to more deeply explore the contents of the BCP.
Prayer is an essential way by which we are shaped into the very life God sent out "to do the work God has given us to do ." Come and take a closer walk with God; we hope you'll join us.

What's Your Resolution?
Embarking on a new you in the new year?
"I'm going to be more fit...less stressed...more focused., but, "I'm uncomfortable at a gym...I'm on a budget...I don't have lots of extra time!" We all have excuses when it comes to looking out for ourselves, but yoga at Christ Church may be the answer. Exercise in a comfortable setting with your peeps; all levels are welcome.
Class, with instructor Rebecca Nagorski, meets on Tuesday evenings in Hinde Hall from 5:00-6:00 p.m.; and a donation of only $5 is requested. Bring yourself in comfortable clothes and a yoga mat - we even have mats you can borrow. Give it a try, you're bound to like it!
