Glory Ridge - Youth Mission Project
Group from Christ Church working on the roof of Mr. Willy in Mars Hill NC.
August - Rite II Liturgy During August, our Rite II liturgies come from two sources outside the Book of Common Prayer, one Episcopal and one ecumenical. The Prayers of the People are taken from Intercessions for Christian People, a resource written in collaboration with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Episcopal Church. The prayers are in sync with what we hear in the lectionary readings for that particular Sunday and are intended to help us see the world through the lens of Scripture. Our Eucharistic Prayer come from Enriching Our Worship (https://www.churchpublishing.org/products/ enrichingourworship1). EOW was first published in 2000 as a supplement to the Book of Common Prayer. We have used prayers from EOW on previous occasions at Christ Church, Advent and Christmas to name a couple. I hope that you find your sense of worship broadened and experience God in new ways through these two enhancements to our liturgy.
Thank you - Paul

This is a new and exciting “food ministry” at Christ Church. We will be gathering once a month in the Harrison Center to prepare meals that will be frozen and made available for anyone in NEED. By need we mean someone or a family that is experiencing a lifestyle change, such as a new baby, an illness, a death, etc. The food will be kept in the freezer over at the Harrison Center, and we hope to have a few in our parish house freezer as well. There will be a check out sheet that will include the name of the person taking the food item as well as the name to whom you are taking the food and the date. It is vital that you put this info on this sheet. We ar e just beginning this new ministry and we are so excited but as with all new things, please be patient with us. If you have any questions please contact Judi Dorn or Ellen Chance and of course if you would like to help in any way please join us on Monday, August 21st or August 28th, 9am in the Harrison Center as we begin this new journey.
