Father Dave and Father Dan will continue a Wednesday night teaching series on the basics of Christianity and Anglicanism on Wednesday, October 14, 2015.

Lunch Bunch is will be next Saturday, October 17th.
This is a lunch bunch ministry to children on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays who live in the HUD projects (60-90) or Ora Lee West (30). We make bag lunches for an hour then deliver.
We always need help.
It is a one hour commitment either making sandwiches, stuffing bags, delivering, or all three.
If you cannot come, you can always donate to the ministry (pays for food we can't get at food bank) or bring fruit cups (we always need them).
This ministry is a wonderful way to show Christ's love to children. As a result of our partnership with the Food Bank and contributions of food/money from our congregation, the church budget is not burdened by this ministry.
Please join us, this Saturday or any 1st or 3rd Saturday.

Oktoberfest this year is Wednesday, October 28, with the biergarten opening at 6:30 p.m. and dinner served around 7:00. On the menu: Usinger's bratwurst from Milwaukee, potato salad and tossed salad, sauerkraut and other pickled things, rye bread, and beer and wine. Cost will be $10 per person. Please note that this is an adult gathering, so no nursery will be provided. Since Jane needs to know how many bratwurst to order, please sign up before October 14th. There is a sign-up sheet in the parish hall, or you can email the church office. If you'd like to contribute by bringing potato salad (German or "regular") or sauerkraut, there's a sign-up sheet for that as well in the parish hall. Danke sch�n!

Foyer Groups (Supper Club)
|
Foyer Groups are being formed and will be starting up soon. For newcomers, or anyone not familiar with Foyer Groups - it is like a supper club. The groups will meet every other month (six times a year) in a different member's home, or a restaurant, or even the parish hall. This is a great way for newcomers to meet fellow parishioners. It is open to singles and couples, young and old (adults only). For more information or to sign up, contact Sallie Honeycutt or (417) 294-7796.

Christ Church will be joining other churches in the Diocese of Georgia this Advent in reading former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams' book Being Christian during Advent. Christ Church will offer a Sunday school class the four Sundays of Advent to discuss the following topics from this book:
November 29 Baptism
December 6 Bible
December 13 Eucharist
December 20 Prayer
Williams writes "the book looks at what these activities tell us about the essence of Christian life and what kind of people we might hope to become in the community where these things are done."
You do not have to read the book to attend the sessions. The book can be purchased from Amazon for $8.70. For additional information, contact Maggie Roberts.

It's time to start planning our 2016 mission trip to the Dominican Republic. We are going to return to the village of El Pedregal, where the teams sponsored by Christ Church have been working since 2001.
Given that the month of June has become very popular for DR mission teams, we would like to look at four potential dates in the less-crowded months of April and May 2016 for our trip. These dates, all Monday to Monday, are below: April 11-18 May 2-9 May 9-16 May 23-30 All four dates have been reserved for us at the Campamento in El Pedregal, but we need to decide on one date by October 19 so that the other three dates can be released for other teams. If you are interested in going on the 2016 mission trip (no commitment yet, just an interest), please email Julia Ariail < [email protected]> before October 19 and let her know which of these four dates you prefer AND which dates you could not make because of other schedule commitments.
