Episcopal Visitation 2012


The Rt. Rev. David Bowman, Assisting Bishop of Ohio, will be worshiping with us at our 10:30 am service this Sunday! Three Christ Church young people will be confirmed and five adults will be received into the Episcopal Church or will renew their vows.  Please join me in praying for these faithful parishioners as we head into the weekend: Libby, Callie, Shanna, George, Deborah, Kathleen, Ryan, and Laura.

Confirmation


Plans for the new year are underway! Two weeks ago this crack team of catechists met at Panera's to plan for youth confirmation this fall. We are really looking forward to working with our amazing young people. Confirmation class is open to youth (grades eight, nine, and ten) who would like to deepen their faith and grow in their knowledge of the Church as preparation for the sacrament of confirmation.

On Homecoming Sunday, September 9th, at 9:45 am we will be meeting with interested youth and their parents in the Library to share our plans for confirmation classes which will begin on September 16th. We are reading My Faith, My Life again this year, which is a wonderful blend of information and spiritual formation.

Rev. Peter is offering an Inquirer's Class this fall as well for adults who would like to be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church, or who might like to reaffirm their faith. This is always a meaningful and interesting experience for participants! Talk to me or to Rev. Peter for more information.

A Joyful Morning!



















It was a joyful morning at Christ Church! Today we welcomed our Bishop, the Right Reverend Mark Hollingsworth, Jr., to our parish as our preacher and celebrant! Thirteen parishioners confirmed or reaffirmed their faith, or were received into the Episcopal Church.  Among the Confirmation candidates were four much loved young people who have been members of our parish for most of their lives.  Can you figure out who is who from the photos above?

It was a wonderful morning! Congratulations and many blessings to all thirteen* parishioners who renewed their commitment to Christ today! 

* My apologies to the three parishioners not pictured in the photo above!
