 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him"

Rector's Forum

There will be a rector's forum following the service in the Guild Room on Sunday. This will be an open forum and also include an overview of the Holy Week schedule.

Christ Church Arts

Christ Church Arts will host Ukulele Jam Sessions in the Parish Hall on the third Monday of the month at 7:00pm beginning March 16. The sessions will be run by noted local musician Carmen Borgia. Repertoire will be taken from classic folksong, Oldies hits, American songbook standards and more! Bring a music stand. There may be a few extra ukuleles available. All skill levels of players are welcome, and if you just want to come and sing along that's great too!

Christ Church Arts is also thrilled to host River Valley Baroque for a world class performance of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion. Volunteer ushers and helpers are needed and will receive a complementary ticket. Please speak to Fr. Bill or Hannah Milnes if interested.

Bloodlines of the Slave Trade

A showing the documentary film Bloodlines of the Slave Trade featuring our own Susanna Grannis will take place at the Kinderhook Library on March 29 at 1pm. This is a very timely and important film, and all are encouraged to attend.

Lent

The Season of Lent is upon us. Our Lenten programming continues this Friday, March 6 with the Way of the Cross at 5:30pm. Lenten education programs will continue on Wednesdays. Even if you missed the early sessions you are more than welcome to join! Please note the link below to participate in the evening study via Zoom.

Funeral Services

Burial Rites for Jeanne Poland will be held at Christ Church on Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 10:30am.

Food Donations Needed!

We have seen a significant increase in demand for food from our mini-pantry and are only anticipating that to grow. Please consider donating non-perishable items as soon as possible. Collection boxes will be in the parish hall and the narthex. We will also accept personal hygiene items, baby and adult diapers, and baby food (but not infant formula) as well as monetary donations.

Funds are also available if anyone would like to buy a large amount of food or other items and be fully or partially reimbursed. Please contact the church office if you would like to do this.

There are no flowers during Lent.

Flowers on the High Altar may be dedicated to loved ones by members of the congregation. Please call the office with the name(s) you wish to commemorate and the Sunday you prefer. A donation is requested; the church provides the flowers.
