Search Committee Update

Your Search Committee continues its work. During this time of discernment and transition, please continue to pray for the Search Committee, our Christ Church family, our faithful and generous supply clergy, and whomever God is calling to be our next rector. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Bottles of holy water from the river Jordan in Israel, where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, have been donated to Christ church to be added to the font for baptisms. The River Jordan is considered by many Christians as a holy place and pilgrims have been going there for centuries. When planning a baptism, if you would like some of this holy water added for the baptism, please let the church know.

It is time to update our Parish Directory. This is an invaluable tool for any new person in our church community…. especially a new rector. Please keep your eyes peeled in the Sunday bulletin and Friday Grapevine for announcements regarding signing up to have your photo taken.

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).
