The Mutual Ministry Survey was handed out at the Annual Parish Meeting. I ask that you fill it out and return it no later than Feb 26, 2023. You do not need to put your name on it. How we move forward as a church will depend on you, the members. What do you want to see at Christ Church? Help Mother Michelle and the Vestry by answering these statements and questions. The data will be compiled as we look for similarities in the answers.
The Mustang RoundUp takes place on Saturday Feb 4 from 7:30am - 3pm. We have been given permission to sell a spaghetti lunch from 11am - 2pm. If you can help, please see Lee Crawford. Church Ave will be closed during the event. Please use the back entrance by the shed to enter the area. Cars will be displayed in the church parking lot and will not be accessible to anyone.
Below is the list for this year's food drive for Longwood Elementary. The drive will run for the next six - eight weeks. This will allow for items to be purchased when on sale. Ask friends and family to help with your contribution towards food scarcity.
The God at Work Capital Campaign will continue as there is so much to be repaired on the buildings.
