Blessing of the Animals

On Saturday, October 7, 2023, we held our annual Blessing of the Animals Service.  Although the morning rain left our deck area to wet to reuse, the sun came out and we gathered near the church building.  With 10 people and 4 dogs, along with 7 pets by photograph, we had a fun and exciting time.

Welcome Rev. Creamilda!

 

Christ Church bid a warm welcome to Rev. Creamilda Yoda, our new Priest-in-Charge, and her family and friends who were there to support her.  It was an inspiring day, despite the rain, as she blessed backpacks to be donated to children in need at a local school, and presided over a moving service.  Following the service was an amazing welcome party at coffee hour.  Welcome to our family, Rev. Creamilda!

Diversity Sunday

It was a day to celebrate all the places and cultures, near and far, from which we come.  With prayer, fellowship, and tasty treats from around the world, a great time was had by all.
