News Christ Church Cooks Q.) What is this new ministry called ‘Christ Church Cooks’? A.) The Christ Church Cooks ministry is a way to help people and families in situations where preparing their own meals may be difficult. Examples of situations include death of a loved one, illness, birth of a new baby, or moving into a new house. The cooks prepare meals (typically casseroles) that are frozen and ready to be thawed and heated when they reach their final destination. Q.) Who can receive a meal? A.) Obviously, any member of Christ Church can receive a meal. In addition, if a friend or neighbor could benefit from this ministry, they are welcome to receive one. Q.) Where are the meals kept? A.) The meals will be kept in the large freezer in the Harrison Center. For easier access, we will also keep a handful of meals in the freezer in the kitchen off the parish house. Q.) How do I get a meal to myself or someone else? A.) There are two ways to get a casserole delivered. The first is simply to pick it up and deliver it yourself. Please fill out the forms found in the white binders by each of the freezers. If you’re unable to deliver the meal yourself, we have a form that will send responses to the Christ Church Cooks and they will deliver the meal for you. That form can be found here: https://goo.gl/forms/Gv9JhWy9OUTJssMm2 Q.) How can I be a part of this ministry? A.) The Christ Church Cooks meeting is on the third Monday of every month at 9:00am in the Harrison Center to prepare meals. Please contact Judi Dorn if you’d like to join them.

The Reverend H. Paul Canady
A new year is upon us in the life of Christ Church. We return to our regular schedule on Sunday, September 10th. As we move back into that familiar routine, you may notice a few changes, especially at the 8:45 service. The quest to give the 8:45 service a unique identity has been going on as long that service has been in existence, according to some long-time members of Christ Church. Last year, we made sure the Prayers of the People and the Eucharistic Prayer was different than what we used at the 11:00 service. We often drew from other Episcopal liturgies found outside of the Book of Common Prayer. We will continue that practice this year, and add to it. You’ll see the Stallings Altar at the top of the Chancel Steps (where it is for our children’s liturgies), bringing the liturgy closer to the worshippers. You will also notice the Eucharistic Ministers coming up from the congregation to read the Scripture lessons, lead the Prayers of the People, and serve the chalice. The clergy and acolytes will still sit on the chancel
and vest, though you may see the acolytes sitting in a slightly different place than before. Another change you may notice will be in the preaching schedule. The Rev. Deacon Lisa Kirby has asked to preach only once a month instead of being in a three-week rotation with Cortney and I. Lisa will preach on the third Sunday of each month. The adult education committee has worked diligently this summer on plans for a new venture called “Wednesdays at Christ Church.” With dinner and fellowship and formation opportunities for all ages, we hope this will bring all generations of Christ Church together. We will launch on Wednesday, September 20th at 5:30pm. More details are elsewhere in the Crown. Finally, you may have noticed (or heard) that the Rev. Cortney Dale and Jim Gilmore are expecting a baby! S/He is due November 23rd. Cortney will take 12 weeks of maternity leave once the baby arrives. During that time, we will take advantage of pastoral care coverage from several well trained parishioners as well as other local clergy who have offered their services. This will also give us the chance to welcome other voices to our pulpit as well. We are all very excited for Cortney and Jim, and looking forward to welcoming this awesome baby! I am excited for another great year at Christ Church and all the opportunities for us to be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus in our community. I’m glad you’re here for the journey, too! 4
Vestry Adopts New Vision & Mission Statements At it’s June meeting, the Vestry of Christ Church adopted a new vision and mission statements to help guide what we do to minister in Gods Name. As we approach the Fall, you will see these statements in many places, both subtle and not-so subtle. More importantly, you will see a refined focus on the ministries of Christ Church to reflect how they are living in these statements. Many thanks to John Harper, Barbara Richardson, Bill Rivenbank, and Janet Peregoy for their work on this project. 6
