The Christ Church Community Update
For the week ending November 15, 2009
Our Future
A community of stewards

Please bring your completed pledge cards to church this Sunday and place them in the offering plate.  We will bless them and all they represent for our future during the eucharist.  If you have already put your pledge card in, don't worry, we'll have it for the blessing already in the plate.  Misplaced your card?  No worries; we'll have extras. Read a steward's story here.
