October 2022
Thanks to all of you who made the parish party on Saturday, October 22nd at Elena Holloway's house such a fun event. It was wonderful to have a church family event with no agenda other than eating, talking, and laughing together.  Several folks suggested we plan another event in the not-too-distant future.  (AND we have a few dishes and items that were left behind. We have them in the parish office so call us to arrange a pickup.)

We NEED your rummage. All those items in your garage, storage shed, those dishes you keep saying your going to give away, and more are welcome to find a new home and benefit Christ Church. Bring things on Sundays before church, Saturday mornings during our Food Distribution (9 to 11) or call us at 723-5714 to arrange a drop off time. 
 
Wednesday, our Hybrid Adult Bible Study on Mark's Gospel continues from 7 to 8 p.m.. Use the link for more info:
 Paul & Anne Frey's home and on Zoom.

We will celebrate All Saints a bit early, on Sunday, October 30 
As we have done for many years, we will have ribbons available to write the names of our friends, family, and other loved ones who have passed on. We hang them in the church and keep them up through Advent. 


Helping with New Leaven
We can use your help feeding hungry families in our community. There are things that can be done mid-week such as packing bags of canned goods for distribution on Saturdays. And there is always a way to help on Saturdays, from helping fill our registration forms for new guests, to carrying groceries to peoples cars, and more. We would love to have your help once a month or more. Sign up in the Church entry, online, or call or text Fr. Paul at 956-285-2753.

Just a reminder that we plan to always have our 11 a.m. service online and in person. If you do join us online, comment and let us know you are online. 


And remember we have a weekly 10 minute "prayer meeting" on a conference call. Mary Wyers starts us off and we can all add our prayers.  You can call in to the call Thursdays at 10 a.m. (or a minute or two before) by calling 725-735-9014

Parish Luncheon This Sunday, September 4th.
Bring a dish, dessert, or drink to share and join us after the 11 a.m. service for food and fellowship.
Stewardship

   In October we will start our Fall Stewardship  Campaign. Starting this week we gather each Sunday we will have different bvestry members, (church board),  give a brief testimony of what giving means for them.  We will be sending out 2023 budget and pledge information. Please pray about what you believe God is calling you to give.
Columbarium
     For September, October, and November we are making Columbarium niches available to parish families only at a 5% discounted price.  You will receive a price sheet in the mail sometime next week.  We are also offering to finance them over a 3 year period after the initial down payment at no interest.  
Food Bank Volunteers Welcome!
      This Saturday, September 3, we have a lot of produce to distribute along with much more. We start setting up at 8 in the morning on the back side of Christ Church, at the corner of Lane and Jarvis. 
Sunday School.  Volunteers are welcome and students who need community service hours  can get credit for both time and travel time. (We give away food almost every Saturday We see about 70 to 90 different families each week and reach @ 300 families each month.)
All ages Sunday School
     Later this September we are going to start our all ages Sunday school. We will start promptly at 10:15 and end promptly at 10:45. We will be using lessons from Illustrated Ministries - Mini revolutions series, that are synchronized with the Sunday Lessons.  Lessons will be multi-age friendly.  
Adult Bible Study
     Also on September 14 we are restarting out Wednesday night Adult Bible Study. This fall we will be talking about hot topics in the news, and in our society, looking at how insights in the bible might help us think about things in a way that helps us love God and love our neighbors.  The first two sessions will be primarily geared at fellowship. We will meet at Paul & Anne Frey's house at 7. The studies will end a few minutes before 8 and close with a short 10 minute Holy Communion service. (Zoom access  will also be available if needed.)

Estimados feligreses,
Almuerzo Parroquial Este Domingo 4 de Septiembre 
Traiga un plato, postre o bebida para compartir y únase a nosotros después del servicio de las 11 a. m. para comer y compartir.
Mayodormia
En Octubre comenzaremos nuestra campaña de administración de otoño. A partir de esta semana nos reunimos cada domingo y tendremos diferentes miembros de la junta parroquial (junta de la iglesia) para dar un breve testimonio de lo que significa dar para ellos. Enviaremos información sobre el presupuesto y las promesas para 2023. Por favor, ore acerca de lo que cree que Dios le está llamando a dar.
Nichos en el columbario
Para septiembre, octubre y noviembre, estamos poniendo a disposición de las familias de la parroquia nichos de columbario solo a un precio de descuento del 5%. Recibirá una hoja de precios por correo la próxima semana. También ofrecemos financiarlos durante un período de 3 años después del pago inicial sin intereses.
Voluntarios del Banco de Alimentos ¡Bienvenidos!
Este sábado 3 de septiembre tenemos muchos productos para distribuir y mucho más. Comenzamos a instalarnos a las 8 de la mañana en la parte trasera de Christ Church, en la esquina de Lane y Jarvis.  Los voluntarios son bienvenidos y los estudiantes que necesitan horas de servicio comunitario pueden obtener crédito por el tiempo y el tiempo de viaje. (Regalamos comida casi todos los sábados. Vemos entre 70 y 90 familias diferentes cada semana y llegamos a @ 300 familias cada mes).
Todas las edades Escuela Dominical
Más tarde este septiembre vamos a comenzar nuestra escuela dominical para todas las edades. Comenzaremos puntualmente a las 10:15 y terminaremos puntualmente a las 10:45. Usaremos lecciones de la serie de Ministerios Ilustrados - Mini revoluciones, que están sincronizadas con las lecciones dominicales. Las lecciones serán para múltiples edades.
Estudio bíblico para adultos
También el 14 de septiembre estamos reiniciando el Estudio Bíblico para Adultos los miércoles por la noche. Este otoño hablaremos sobre temas candentes en las noticias y en nuestra sociedad, observando cómo las ideas de la Biblia pueden ayudarnos a pensar sobre las cosas de una manera que nos ayude a amar a Dios y amar a nuestro prójimo. Las dos primeras sesiones estarán orientadas principalmente al compañerismo. Nos reuniremos en la casa de Paul y Anne Frey a las 7. Los estudios terminarán unos minutos antes de las 8 y cerrarán con un breve servicio de la Sagrada Comunión de 10 minutos. (El acceso de zoom también estará disponible si es necesario).
