Lay Eucharistic Visitor Ministry

| Spring Rally is our next big event happening May 1-3 at Honey Creek. This event is open to all 6th-12th graders. Our theme is Heros, but this is not your ordinary superheroes weekend. We will go deeper into the mission of the church and what we are called to do as young people in the church. During the weekend, we will talk about what it takes to be a hero, what is our hero's code for following Christ, how to start a movement, and so much more. Participants will also get to share input into next years youth programs. Register for Spring Rally |
Our Junior and Middle School EYC groups are collecting hotel/sample sized toiletries which they will bag and send to The Haven for their clients. There will be a collection bin in the Parish Hall. Thank you so much for helping our youth do God's work in our community!

Dear Christ Church Members,
A huge thank you is in order for all those who were able to volunteer to help with the Gabard auction open house. There were thirty-seven different areas that needed to be covered on Saturday and again on Sunday afternoon. As usual, our Christ Church family stepped up to make it happen. Some of you were able to help both days and many of you showed great flexibility in helping get it scheduled. We are so grateful for all you did to make the auction a success.
Sincerely, Susan Chamberlain and Dottie Pitts
