We have a very rich community spirit and it takes more than the staff
and clergy to keep our church running. Our church is literally run and
maintained by our members. We take a very hands-on approach to
fulfilling our many visions and missions. We encourage members to
participate in any one of our many committees and commissions to help
keep our church going and growing. An updated list will be published this coming January 2011.
The Leadership Search
Committee will be
working to help us find our interim pastor and next rector.

Christian Education Commission
For more information on our Christian Education Programs go to:
Our Christ Church prayer calls for the grace to reach out with love and
service, and we have a core group of parishioners that strive to do so
through the following ministries:
A
new sign up sheet is in the Parish Hall. We really need your help, we
need
volunteers to do the coffee hour; on many Sundays someone will jump in
and do
it on the spur of the moment, but we cannot leave it up to just a few
people,
please won't you consider signing up to do coffee hour for one Sunday,
if
everyone signed up just once, we would probably have coverage for the
whole
year. It is not hard to do and is greatly appreciated by your fellow
parishioners. If you have any questions you can speak to someone on the
Fellowship Commission of call the office at 375-4447. Thank you!!!
