Sock It To Me Our ministry partners at Church of the Messiah are serving a weekly Saturday lunch to about 200 people, many of whom are homeless. They have learned that one thing these guests almost always need are clean, dry socks. Christ Church has agreed to help collect some 200 pairs a week, if possible! So when you see socks on sale, please buy some. We need men's socks most, but women's and children's are useful too. Clean, gently used socks are also welcome. There is a box in our Communications Center to receive them. Thank you! If you have questions, see Ann Eatherly.
Antiques Show Advertising Sales Enthusiasm and excitement were shared by choir parents and friends at the 2012 Antiques Show Kick-Off meeting last Saturday morning. We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in the celebration by placing an ad in the program book. Advertising Contracts/ Advertising Information and Pamphlets are available in the Communications Center located in the main lobby. Downloads are also available at on the antiques show webpage. Thanks for your support!
Memorials Remember your Loved Ones with a Gift of Flowers. A great way to give thanks for our loved ones is to make an altar flower contribution in their name. Just pick a Sunday close to the date you'd like to remember them. Call the parish office or just mail their names in with your check. The suggested contribution is $100. Some Sundays we have multiple memorials, some weeks just one.
