A Note from the Rev. Joye Cantrell

Hello from Washington, DC

I miss all of you!

What was I thinking when I thought that retirement was about rest and relaxation? I have driven with a u-haul from Valdosta, to Columbia, Columbia to Charleston and back and then to DC. Then I flew to Miami to help Paul and Tati as Tati's family said good-byes and buried her grandmother. Now back in DC and enjoying being with Margaret and Dave.

The time I spent in South Georgia at Christ Church will always be special to me. Your hospitality to me, the good times we shared and the holy and sacred worship that made up our weeks together. I may be gone, but YOU are not forgotten.

Thank you for the wonderful gift of the picture of Christ Church. It will make me smile every-time I look at it in the years to come. Also, many thanks for the traveling money. A report will come from the road soon when Connie Casita takes her maiden run.

God bless you my sisters and brothers in Christ.

Joye+

Christ Church has been asked to provide notebook paper (Wide Rule and College Rule) for the 1,000 backpacks. We are only in need of notebook paper. Other organizations are collecting certain items as well. There will be a box in the nave of the Sanctuary for the months of June and July. If you would prefer to make a monetary donation to help this cause, please make checks to Christ Church and denote that it is for notebook paper.

Social Media Volunteers Needed

A Message from Julius Ariail

With the consent of the church's Communication Committee and its chair, Michael Black, I plan to step back from my volunteer work as primary content creator on both the church's Facebook and Twitter accounts as of June 1, 2014, so I can concentrate on the upcoming DR mission trip and the ongoing website and social media platforms of the Dominican Development Group.

Michael and the committee will be looking for other volunteers to work in these social media areas. I will also be cutting back on my work in taking and posting event photographs at Christ Church, knowing that we have several other good photographers in our congregation. I hope to continue working with the church's website, at least until such time as Michael and the committee recruit one or more website volunteers. Anyone interested in working with the Communications Committee on any or all of these projects should contact Michael Black.

Wednesday Evening Suppers

Temporarily Suspended

Wednesday Evening Suppers are suspended temporarily for parish hall kitchen repair work.

An Evening Prayer service will be held at 6:00 p.m. each Wednesday through the summer, but will not be followed by a meal. Please take note of these changes.
