SUNDAY, APRIL 15: MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED
the Parish Retreat yesterday, and a special thank-you to Meg Hall for leading the event!
SUNDAY, APRIL 15: TODAY'S ADULT FORUM:
What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? What really causes addiction-to everything from opioids to smartphones? And how can we overcome it? In light of this being Recovery Sunday for the diocese, join us from 9:15-10:15 a.m. in the Ross Room as we watch and discuss a TED Talk by Johann Hari, who has seen our current methods fail firsthand as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. His questions took him around the world, and he unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem. Note: Christ Church's own Recovery Sunday has been rescheduled to Sunday, June 17.
SUNDAY, APRIL 15: The Vestry held its Regular Meeting
on Tuesday, April 10, 2018. Here are the top three outcomes that the Vestry would like to share with you:
--The Vestry worked on plans for our Parish Meeting on Sunday, April 29th, which will be held in the sanctuary immediately following the single service at 9:30 a.m.
--We provided consent for the Property Committee to move ahead with plans to upgrade the alarm system and change the locks.
--We thanked seminarian Charles Sapp for his excellent service among us this year. Charles's last day with us will be on Pentecost.
For more specific details about any of these items, please contact one of your members of the Vestry!
