Rector's Reflection


Dear Ones of Christ Church,


A reminder that this weekend at our services on Saturday at 5p and Sunday at 8a, we will celebrate Holy Eucharist as usual, and on Sunday at 10a we will celebrate this season of holy waiting, attentiveness, and preparation with a service of Advent Lessons and Carols.


In all three of these worship services, we will hear the words of prophets,...

From Your Nominating Committee: A Season of Discernment

The Nominating Committee has begun meeting, and while nominations for vestry and other leadership positions will not officially open until January, we invite all parishioners, in this Advent season of making space, to discern whether you might want to offer your gifts as a nominee for vestry, deanery representative, or delegate to convention. One of our committee members may approach you and ask you to pray about being a nominee for a particular role or roles. We will answer any questions you have about these roles and will provide you with information to aid in your discernment. We will share more information as the official nomination season approaches. Thank you for your prayerful consideration!


Your Nominating Committee,

Melissa Howell, Robb Pflock, David Greene, Kat LiBretto, Makenzie Manchester

Church School

Youth Group and Youth Formation


The next meeting for Youth Group will be held Friday, December 19th in the Parish Hall at 5:30.


Join us for a Yankee Swap and Christmas Cheer!


Youth Group will meet December 19th for a meal, some games and a Yankee Swap. Please bring a new, wrapped gift under $15.00 for the swap. I will have some extra gifts on hand in case someone forgets! This will be a fun way to say “Goodbye” to 2025, and “Welcome” to 2026! 


This week we are back to our regular Formation class. Please join us in Reverend Melissa’s office at 9:00 am.


Our discussions will be facilitated by Alex Manchester and Becky Metzger. Please reach out to Becky at radmetzger@gmail.com with any questions.

We hope to see you there!
