Vestry Votes to Sponsor
Habitat for Humanity House
The vestry of Christ Church has committed Christ Church to sponsor a Habitat for Humanity House build this fall. The Dave Clark "Build for the Cure" will be in memory of Dave Clark and his son Michael, who died of cystic fibrosis.
We expect to receive donations in kind from builders and business but know that additional funds may be required. Knowing that the vestry voted to provide up to $30,000 dollars toward that possibility. And, members of the vestry and Fr. David have pledged $5950 toward the build.
Fr. David and the vestry encourage you to support the build with your labor and with your financial gifts. Those gifts should be in addition to your regular giving to God in support of Christ Church's ministries. You can designate your check for Habitat on the memo line, or visit our website page Dave Clark Build for the Cure to donate.
The dates for the groundbreaking and for the actual build will be firmed up shortly and shared with you.
Dear Christ Church Family,

Attached you will find the July 2022 Totals, including the Parish Giving numbers. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Amy.

Stefani Carroll, Treasurer

Dear Christ Church Family,
I want to thank you for the outpouring of love you showed me in the recent loss of my mom.
I appreciate all the prayers, cards notes, flowers, food, and attendance at the funeral.
It all means more to me than you know.
Love to all,
Amy Creasy
Stuffed Animals for the CAC

CAC Project Update: Keep those stuffed animals coming. The Children's Advocacy Center appreciates our donations of stuffed animals to comfort the children who come to the center for appointments. They schedule over 125 appointments each month, so we can always use more. If you have questions, please contact Patricia Marks at spmarks@bellsouth.net, or Julia Ariail at juliacariail@gmail.com. Thanks for your help.
Sunday Evening Vespers - a group of Christ Church members meet on Zoom (2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays) at 6:00 p.m. to read the Compline Service, pages 127-135 in the Book of Common Prayer and for friendly conversation afterwards. The first and third Sundays of the month we will meet in-person, but will make an audio recording available after Vespers for those unable to attend in-person.
