Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you, thank you to all who have generously given to the Memorial Garden Renovation project.  We have reached our goal of designated gifts of $25,000.   If you would still like to contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the renovated garden, you may do so. Checks can be made out to "Christ Episcopal Church" and write "Memorial Garden" on the memo line.  

We are truly blessed by such a loving, giving and supportive congregation.  Thank you again!

Workers from the church as well as other members of the community who volunteer gather at 11 a.m. at Christ Church to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They pack them in plastic bags, then brown paper bags with logo stickers together with chips, fruit, juice and other healthy goodies purchased from the Second Harvest Food Bank.
