Episcopal 101 and All Things Christ Church Offering & Light Supper

Please join us on Wednesday evenings this summer as we continue our discussions about all things Episcopal and more specifically Christ Church. This is a terrific opportunity to learn more about Christ Church and The Episcopal Church… or at least a good refresher. Beginning at 5:30p each Wednesday evening between now and the end of August, a different topic will be discussed, with different folks presenting each week, followed by a light supper.

July 30:  GUIDED EUCHARIST – The Liturgy

Aug 6:    Colors of the Seasons/Church Calendar 

Aug 13:  CALLED – The Orders of the Church – Deacon Nancy Sartin

Aug 20:  The Episcopal Church Structure – Molly Stevenson

Aug 27:   Ministry Opportunities at Christ Church – Ministry Leaders

** Bishop Logue will be at Christ Church on August 31 for his Visitation. These “classes” will also serve as the formation for anyone wishing to be Confirmed, Received or Reaffirmed when he comes.

Thank you in advance to everyone for your continued support of the Christ Church preschool, without you we would not be able to continue serving our church families and the community.

MONTHLY GRACE CAFÉ FOOD DRIVE: Beginning this month, Christ Church will participate in a monthly Food Drive for Grace Café. For July, please bring Coffee and Snacks. Individually packaged snacks such as granola bars, protein bars, crackers, and K Cups. Our students are not picky about their coffee, but they do like fun flavors! A donation basket has been placed in the parish hall for your convenience. Thank you!!!

INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH: My website Sisters in Faith (sisters-in-faith.org) commemorates forgotten Episcopal deaconesses, those who could not be ordained because they were women. After graduating from deaconess school, many became nurses, teachers, and church helpers in disadvantaged areas both abroad and in the United States. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Deacon Patricia Marks (spmarks@bellsouth.net; 229-630-8644).

RECTOR SEARCH UPDATE: Please continue to pray for whomever God is calling to serve with us in the next chapter and continue to pray for the Holy Spirit’s presence among us.

Christian Education for Adults

Every Sunday at 9:15a Christian Education has a learning session about the Sunday readings from 9:15a until 9:45a. We are looking for more members to join and participate in these sessions.
