Wesley House parking lot has been closed off due to starting construction of a new building.  VSU has graciously permitted Christ Church to park in the Music Annex Lot (located on the other side or the Wesley House), and in the Admissions Office Lot (on the other side of the Rectory).  

We have been allowed to park in these lots on SUNDAYS ONLY. Parking done in these lots at any other time but Sundays will incur a parking ticket.

The deadline for purchasing tickets is Sunday, April 12. There are lots of unique and first time items to be auctioned as well as several old favorites.  Click here for a preview of the items on the live as well as the silent auctions.

Stitchers of Love will meet on Sunday afternoon, April 12th, from 4-6:00 p.m. in the parish hall.  The Stitchers group plans to begin meeting now twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Sunday afternoons, at this time and location.  Anyone who would like to learn to knit or crochet is also welcome and encouraged to come.

Lay Eucharistic Visitor Ministry is a ministry that brings the reserve sacrament and communion to members of the Christ Church community who are homebound for some reason and cannot attend Sunday worship service. We strive to keep God's presence in the lives of all Christ Church parishioners by bringing communion to them at least once a month.  If you would like to request a Eucharistic Visit please contact Nancy Lutsko.

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
