From the Senior Warden

Dear Christ Church Family,

Over the next few weeks, we will begin yet another transition as Joye+ will conclude her time with us and we will have several weeks until Dave+ and his family arrive. Joye+ has done a fantastic job for us and I know that you will want to join me in thanking her for all of her hard work and leadership over the past two years. Please join us at the reception after the 10:00 a.m. service on May 18th so we can properly thank her for all she has done for Christ Church. This will be her last Sunday with us so I know that you will not want to miss it.

Thank You!
Dear Christ Church Family,

I want to thank everybody for all the concern and prayers for my mother during her surgery and recuperation.  It is a wonderful feeling to know that so many people care! Thank you again for everything.
Love and peace!!
Tamara Thomas
