July 14th - Following Sunday Church Service
Steve Honeycutt and Mike Tanner have met with Controlled Solutions, a security service to discuss the possibility of security around our church each Sunday. Both Steve and Mike felt it was something that needed to be discussed with fellow members of the church.
On Sunday, July 14th (after the church service) a meeting will be held in the Parrish Hall with Jeff Culpepper who is a police lieutenant and he works with Controlled Solutions. Jeff will tell everyone about the services and how Controlled Solutions can assist our church, most importantly he is available to answer your questions and address your concerns.
Please join in this meeting I think it is something that will benefit all of us at Christ Church.

THE 81ST GENERAL CONVENTION OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
From: Molly Stevenson <mollybs64@outlook.com>
Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2024 7:33 PM
To: The congregation of Christ Church
Subject: Prayers Answered
Good evening all!
I am thrilled to let you know the Holy Spirit was certainly present today as the bishops of The Episcopal Church elected on the FIRST BALLOT The Rt. Rev. Sean W. Rowe as the next Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church!!
I have been blessed to serve with Presiding Bishop-Elect Rowe on two different Legislative Committees at different General Conventions and was always impressed by his love of our church, steadfastness, compassion, and all around intelligence! He was a classmate of Bishop Logue at Virginia Theological Seminary. (I have attached a link to Bishop Logue’s announcement of the election below.)
YAY GOD!!!

NOTES FROM FATHER HAL
The Nursery will open each Sunday at 9:45 a.m. for children three years old and younger.
| |
Older children, as an experiment, all parents and/or grandparents are invited to help their young children vest (in the office's vesting room) so they may process into the church and sit in the Annex's first rows. At the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer, they will be asked to come to the Altar for a closer look into "what happens there." Then, they will process out of the church to ring the bell as on "normal" Sundays. | | |
Church Office Hours:
Monday - Thursday
10a - 2p

Prayer for Israel and Palestine from Bishop Logue
“God of peace, we pray for the people of Israel and Palestine in this time of war.
For all who are fearful for the safety of their loved ones and themselves, we pray that the assurance of unfailing love, even in the midst of danger, settles upon them. Shelter them from despair and protect them from harm.
We remember before you the Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem and the Middle East, the Most Reverend Hosam Elias Naoum, and the people of his churches, hospitals, and other ministries.
For all who have died, we pray they find rest.
For all who grieve, we pray they find comfort.
For all who are wounded, we pray they find healing.
For leaders on all sides, we pray for the will to lay down arms and for the conviction to embrace a path of reconciliation and peace that preserves the rights and dignity of all of your children.
God of justice, we pray with hopeful hearts that your beloved children of the Holy Land.
We ask all this in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen.”

Prayer for the Ukraine
God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace for wisdom, discernment, and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
Church of England, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby
Church of England, Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrel
