This Sunday, November 1: All Saints and Prayers for Healing
Sunday, November 1, is All Saints Day. Combining it with All Souls' Day, we will remember those we love who have died and mourn the hundreds of thousands who have died because of the global pandemic. If you would like names of your departed loves read aloud in worship, email their names to Ackli as soon as possible.
Treasurer's Note
Because of this financially uncertain year, more than the usual number of pledges have fallen behind. Please know that we care if you are experiencing financial stress, and assistance remains available through the Rector's Discretionary Fund.
The church finances are surviving, but for those who are behind and able to improve on this, we appreciate your efforts.
Antiracism at St. C's
Our next step in continuing to live into the antiracism statement approved by the vestry is to form a team of Christopherians committed to continuing this work at St. C's. This team will explore ways to lead the congregation in action and further study. To join, please contact Fr. Eric
Thursday Nights at 8:00 pm: Night Owl Lectionary Bible Study
Continuing Thursday, we'll hold a weekly Zoom bible study on the lectionary texts for the upcoming Sunday. No real preparation is required, but you can find the texts we'll be discussing next week here. We'll publish the link in the weekly email next week. Want a bible study but don't want to stay up late? Email Eric and if there is some demand, we'll add a midday bible study, too.
Invitation from St. Martin's
Zoom worship makes enjoying the company of our near neighbors even easier. St Martin's, our partner church, welcomes visitors and would especially love to have St Christopher's folks join them any Sunday at 10:00. For a Zoom link, just contact St Martins.
Prayer List. If you would like to add someone to the St. Christopher's prayer list to be prayed during Sunday worship, please contact Abbi.
Give Online
No offering in person? No problem! You can give online and set up a recurring gift here. Help keep our doors open, even while they're "opened" unconventionally during this time. Don't worry if you can't give online. We are continuing to check the mail, and a mailed check will work just fine.
SUNDAY SCHOOL is suspended until further notice
If your child is 3 years old, they are eligible for Sunday School! Glitter pens have arrived, and Ms. Alex's homemade Ark is ready for action. The youngest kids have fun learning traditional Bible stories, which [somehow] always relate back to PawPatrol.
Youth groups meet EVERY Sunday at 9:15 am
All parents and youth are encouraged to partake in reminders through the Remind app.
Healing prayer available Sundays
We offer healing prayer in the chapel most Sundays (at 8:00 and 10:30) during communion. To receive healing prayer, simply take communion as usual and then duck into the Mary Chapel where Deacon Sue and other prayer ministers will be waiting with holy oil and the prayer book. Of course, receiving communion is not a prerequisite for receiving healing prayer. If you feel called to take a leadership role in this ministry, please talk to Deacon Sue or Father Eric so that a rota schedule can be set up for this healing ministry.
