Mid and High School Student

Middle School and High School Students -
All Middle and High School students are encouraged and welcomed to hang out with our Assistant to the Rector, Philip Ryan, during Sunday School. They will meet in the youth room in the back of the Gabard building. Also, they will meet Wednesday evenings starting this Wednesday, the 21st. They will attend the 6:00PM service and eat with the rest of the church afterwards before going to have their own teaching and fellowship.

Episcopal College Fellowship
|
Episcopal College Fellowship -
Christ Church's college ministry has started meeting. On Thursday, the 22nd, we began a weekly Bible study at Louttit Hall. Bible study begins at 8PM and they are studying Ephesians. All college students are welcome to attend.
Also, we've decided to change the name from Canterbury Club to Episcopal College Fellowship. Many students, even some Episcopalians, may not understand the reference to Canterbury. The name change makes it easier for students to connect with Christ Church and doesn't require as much explanation upfront.

Oktoberfest this year is Thursday, October 20th, with the biergarten opening at 6:00 p.m. and dinner served around 7:00. On the menu: Usinger's bratwurst from Milwaukee, potato salad and tossed salad, sauerkraut and other pickled things, rye bread, and beer and wine. Cost will be $10 per person.
Please note that this is an adult gathering for those 21 and older (please have proof of age with you). No nursery will be provided. Since Jane needs to know how many bratwurst to order, please
sign up before October 6th. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish hall, or you can call the church office to leave your name. If you'd like to contribute by bringing potato salad (German or "regular") or sauerkraut, there's a sign-up sheet for that as well in the parish hall.
Danke schön!

They pack them in plastic bags, then brown paper bags with logo stickers together with chips, fruit, juice and other healthy goodies purchased from the Second Harvest Food Bank.
Please join us, on any 1st or 3rd Saturday.
