We have been asked to provide volunteers to be in the rooms of the house, cabin and possibly one other location during the open house. The auction company has recommended a minimum of 25 volunteers to cover this.

Blessing in Memorial Garder
|
Dear Christ Church Family,
I am very happy that my parents now have name plates in the Memorial Garden at Christ Episcopal. My mom died in 2008 and my dad died in 2009, and I wanted to have a place for them that was close and a place where they could be around some really nice people.Their names are Dan C. Holliman and Mary Brooks Holliman.
On Thursday, March 19 at 11:30 am, Father Dave is doing a short memorial blessing for their place in the Memorial Garden. I would like to invite you to come for this special event.
Thank you,
Diane Halim
