Mid and High School Student
Sunday's and Wednesday's
Middle School and High School Students - All Middle and High School students are encouraged and welcomed to hang out with our Assistant to the Rector, Philip Ryan, during Sunday School. They will meet in the youth room in the back of the Gabard building. Also, they will meet Wednesday evenings starting this Wednesday, the 21st. They will attend the 6:00PM service and eat with the rest of the church afterwards before going to have their own teaching and fellowship. 
Episcopal College Fellowship
Episcopal College Fellowship - Christ Church's college ministry has started meeting. Last Sunday there was a welcome lunch at Louttit hall for the students and Ryans to meet. Beginning this Thursday, the 22nd, there will be a weekly Bible study at Louttit hall. Bible study will begin at 8PM and they will be going through Ephesians. All college students are welcome to attend. Also, we've decided to change the name from Canterbury Club to Episcopal College Fellowship. Many students, even some Episcopalians, may not understand the reference to Canterbury. The name change makes it easier for students to connect with Christ Church and doesn't require as much explanation upfront. 
Friday Morning Bible Study
Friday, September 23, 2016 from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Friday Morning Bible Study  -- We will continue the Friday morning Bible study (10:30-11:30) on September 23, 2016.  We are studying the Gospel according to Luke. All are welcome!

Lunch Bunch
Saturday, Sept. 17, 2016 beginning at 11:00 a.m.
Lunch Bunch will be on Saturday, September 17th.
 
The Christ Church Valdosta Lunch Bunch feeds 120 or more hungry children every first and third Saturday of the month. 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.
