Help the Phoenix Rise from the Ashes

With the change of service times, it is now possible. In the coming weeks you will get information about the sessions. Some will be informational, some will be interactive and all will be designed to support you in your Christian life. Hope to see you at 9 o'clock on September 8 in the front area of the Parish Hall. Coffee will be provided. For information contact Maggie Roberts |

Foyer Groups (Supper Club)
|
|
Foyer Groups are being formed and will be starting up in Sept., beginning with a Kick-off party. Date, time, and location TBA.
For newcomers to the church, or anyone not familiar with Foyer Groups - it is like a supper club. Depending on the number of people who sign up, each group could have anywhere from eight to twelve people. The groups will meet every other month (six times a year) in a different member's home, or a restaurant, or even the parish hall. Each group will decide when and where the next gathering will be held. Then, next year the groups will be reorganized.
This is a great way for newcomers to meet fellow parishioners, and for all to meet those who attend services at other times. It is open to singles and couples, young and old (adults only). If you did not sign up at the Ministries Fair last spring, you still can by contacting Kim in the church office, or Sallie Honeycutt (417) 294-7796. For more information contact Sallie Honeycutt.

| What's Happening at Honey Creek? Have questions about available programs and the status of our beloved Creek? Dade Brantley will be with us August 18th to give a presentation on Honey Creek and how Christ Church may be able to serve our beloved camp. The presentation will take place after the 10 a.m. service. |

Christ Church is looking for an additional nursery worker to help staff our nursery. If you know of someone who enjoys working with young children from birth to 5 years old to work at all of our services, please ask them to call the church office for an interview and a detailed job description.

Help support the Soup Kitchen
|
| The local Soup Kitchen is in need of some old towels - any size and type, bath, kitchen or hand towels. They use a number of towels each day while preparing, cooking food, and cleaning after the meal. If you have some old towels that you would like to donate, please bring them by the church office, or contact Judy DeMott at 242-4104. |
The Search Committee continues to meet to work on our postings on the Diocese web page. The Parish Profile is essentially complete and the Ministry Profile is in progress. We are working slowly and carefully on these two documents because they will provide potential rectors their initial impression of our Parish. We appreciate your patience and, most of all, your prayers.
If you have questions, please contact Phyllis Holland, 242-0577.
With our sincere gratitude,
The Search Committee members: Michael Black; Allan Dear; Phyllis Holland, Chair; Jeani Synyard; Mike Tanner; Helen Tucker; Nikki Yarbrough.
