DR Mission Team Photos
Sharing the experience
The Christ Church DR Mission team photos are posted! Julius Ariail and other team members contributed photos to the collection depicting the very successful work by the team completing the walls on the house construction, 3 towers on the playground equipment, 5 classes for knitting and crocheting, a splash party for 200 children, and a festive dinner with local church members. The house and the playground are being completed this week by a mission team from Nebraska.

Please take a few minutes to enjoy these photos. You were part of this experience - whether on the "Go Team" or the "Home Team."
The photos are in three places:
Wednesday Night Suppers
Wednesday night suppers will resume July 9.  Please join us for supper immediately following the 6:00 Wednesday night service.
Notebook Paper
Till the end of July

The Ministries Committee is working together with the South Georgia Partnership to End Homelessness to provide school supplies.  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.

 

Note: We have collected 100 packs of notebook paper so far.  Thank you to all who have donated.  Notebook paper can also be dropped of at the church office.  We have until the end of July, so the next time your in Walmart, snag a few packs of paper.
Lunch Bunch
Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 11:00 a.m.
Lunch Bunch is Saturday, July 5th at 11:00 a.m. in the parish hall.  We could use as much help as possible as this is a holiday weekend and a number of our regular workers will be out of town.  Please stop by the parish hall and help prepare 125 bag lunches.  If you haven't helped before, it is a fun, easy way to meet fellow parishioners and help those in need.

If you cannot make it on the 5th, here are some future dates: July  19th, August 2nd and August 16th. Please mark your calendar and plan to help out one Saturday.
