What’s Ongoing at Christ Church?
Rev. Elisabeth had the opportunity to visit Christ Church’s former seminarians Adrian Cajiga and Antonio Pacheco this past weekend in Hidalgo, where they have been serving part-time during the past year but where Bishop Sally Sue will soon appoint them permanently. To learn more about her visit and Adrian and Antonio’s ministry, please see Rev. Elisabeth’s article in this weekend’s Community Weekly email message.
We have surpassed the number of pledges we received last year. This is a great joy! Thank you, each one, who has offered your financial gifts to support Christ Church. Your generosity and faith are enabling Christ Church leadership to make a fiscally wise yet comprehensive plan for the coming year.
We welcome children in worship services! However, for COVID safety reasons, we request families with unvaccinated children (&/or adults) to sit outdoors. Parents, please keep your children close to you throughout the service, including during the Eucharist, and consider bringing quiet toys, stuffed animals, &/or books to keep your children engaged. If you need a quiet space in which to give your children a snack, change their diapers, etc., you are welcome to use the nursery.
