Thursday, February 12, 2026 - Still a Newbie

From Dan Cotrone Facilities Manager


Dear Friends in Christ,


Have you ever felt like a “newbie” somewhere, someplace, or sometime in your past? It seems to happen over and over again, perhaps in all our lives. That is how I felt when I learned I was responsible for writing a buildings and grounds annual report for the approaching Christ Church 2025 annual meeting. After Fr. Seth noted the coming deadline, Julie Thauer thoughtfully commented, “This is going to be something new for Dan.” I laughed because during my long career within academia, I wrote at least 38 annual reports, plus many other reports on various topics for someone up the ladder.


Yet, writing a report for a church felt different. As the annual meeting approached, I began to hear snatches about the reports being compiled into a booklet and made available to all church members in the Great Hall. Someone told me that Fr. Seth would share thoughts prior to a vote. I asked if the author of each report would stand at the lectern for a Q&A session. Perhaps I was reliving past dissertation defenses.


When the February 1st annual meeting finally arrived and I looked across the Great Hall, I felt a strong sense of déjà vu. Like when I was new to Christ Church in October 2024, I felt a powerful sense of joy, kindness, camaraderie, and excitement among those gathered. It was a joyful celebration of happy, caring friends that seemed to say, “We are still here and together!“


As a church family in 2025, we made it through another challenging year that included two floods, Fr. Seth away on sabbatical, and Fr. Seth’s sudden, serious illness upon his return. It was a year of community that will be etched in my mind for a long time. As the adage goes, it takes a village. We need each other, and we need God, on life’s often difficult journeys, but together we are blessed and lifted up. And together we are called to embrace and protect the peace that passeth all understanding and that binds us together as one.


To God be the glory, great things He has done,

Dan Cotrone

Writing as a Tool for Deeper Connection

This series will take place on Thursday February 26th, March 5th, and March 12th from 5:30-7:30 pm


Please sign up ahead of time at this link here.



Perhaps now more than ever, vulnerable, heart felt connection is the key to remain empathetic and loving humans. In a world filled with many jagged edges and pain, and in an era encouraging us to openly adopt disruptive technologies, connecting to ourselves and our inner knowing first, is essential to remaining human.


In this three part series, writing teacher Anna Floch Arcello, will help writers compose and edit a core story, statement of faith, poem, essay, article, or journal. Perhaps you have a story or a piece sitting in your heart you have always meant to write, or perhaps you want to connect with others and listen to their stories.


This Lenten season, consider bringing in writing as a tool to express, reflect, and better know your voice, yourself, and others. The focus and genre of writing pieces will be up to the writers – Anna will help you generate ideas, discuss, revise and craft a single core story over the course of the series. This practice of reflection through writing and the work of sharing our story, makes us more empathetic, and better, more loving servants, and encourages a deeper connection to our uniquely human voice. We will begin by reading a few essays as inspiration ahead of the first session, and then lay the groundwork for crafting our own. All levels of writers are most welcome, including those who may have joined in the previous writing series. - Anna Floch-Arcello

Music this Week at

Christ Church

by Michael Batcho


This upcoming Sunday is the Last Sunday after the Epiphany, that is the final Sunday before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. It's been our tradition at Christ Church to celebrate this weekend with a little Mardi Gras flare and have jazz musicians play at the 9:30 service. The guys are lined up and ready to go! They'll perform the prelude, communion music and postlude as well as join in on the hymns We are Marching in the Light of God, Amazing Grace, and When the Saints Go Marching in. The guys will also join the choir on the anthem, a spirited arrangement of the Gospel hymn Just a Closer Walk with Thee.

Additionally, we welcome back Scott Riedel, our former Organist/ Choirmaster. He is stepping in for me while I'm away. This weekend looks to be a grand time - our last hurrah before the sobriety of Lent.

Family Choir


Our next Handing Down the Faith Sunday is March 01. For that service we invite youth and parents to join the choir. If you and your child(ren) like to sing this is the perfect opportunity for you to participate as a family. With the choir, you'll lead the congregation in the hymns and service music as well as sing a simple anthem at the offertory.


There is one rehearsal on Wednesday, February 25, from 6:00 PM - 6:45 PM. On Sunday morning there is a brief rehearsal and warm-up with the choir at 8:50 AM.

Sunday School

runs from 9:15-10:05 AM in the lower level classrooms. 


Challenge: Memorize the Lord's Prayer

Kids will be leading the Lord's Prayer during the Handing Down the Faith Service on March 1st! To prepare, we encourage families to practice memorizing the Lord's Prayer all together.

Does Our Christian Faith call us to Advocacy ?


We spoke in general terms last week about our Christian call to advocate for God’s creation.

Listed below are some resources we can link into:


1. The Episcopal Church - Creation Care

Our national church provides many resources for our Creation Care work. Go to the website of The Episcopal Church. Under the heading, Ministries, click on Creation Care. Follow the prompts and sign up to receive monthly news about creation care in our wider church.


2. The Episcopal Public Policy Network

Facilitated by the Office of Government Relations of our national Church, this network helps

influence the development of legislation and policy of the US government on critical issues.

Follow the prompts and sign up to receive Action Alerts on Creation Care and other vital justice matters. You will receive occasional alerts that will provide you with easy access to your US representatives and also suggest possible wording of messages to them.

Join us for next chapter from 

The Gospel of Mark 

Next Mark study is February 24 from 4:30 pm to 5:45 in the Good Shepherd room. We have sanitizer in our pews. Come see how Jesus challenges us to purify our hearts.  


The organizers include Penny Cruse, Sue Toman and Father Matt. Please feel free to ask any of us questions. There are no prerequisites or homework.  

Theology by the Pint

Thursday, February 26, 5:30 p.m.

in the Good Shepherd Room

Snacks and beverages are provided.


Topic: Repentance & Confession


Questions to Consider: When you pray the General Confession on Sunday, do you feel like you are speaking honestly from the heart or mostly reciting familiar words; what makes the difference for you? If repentance is less about breaking rules and more about turning again toward life with God, how might that shape the way we talk about sin? How does viewing God as a loving parent rather than a harsh judge affect your willingness to admit mistakes and ask for forgiveness?


To learn more about this event, please email the Rev. Matt Phillips.


*Theology by the Pint is a casual gathering for conversation where participants are encouraged to listen to others’ perspectives without judgment and to seek better understanding. Regardless of differences, we strive to love our neighbors as ourselves and to respect the dignity of every human being.

**Next month’s topic will be the varying theories of Atonement.


To learn more about 

Theology by the Pint or Gatherings for Guys

Rev. Matt Phillips.
