Homecoming 2013

Last Sunday we began a new program year at Christ Church! The 10:30 service of Holy Eucharist was beautiful and was led by our beloved Rev. Peter who has returned from his Sabbatical! Welcome home Rev. Peter!

Afterward we gathered for a picnic on the lawn. The food was great and the bouncy house was awesome!







I was busy registering families for the new year of Christian Formation ahead, but managed to snap some photos of old and new friends throughout the afternoon! Here are some of the smiles I gathered along the way.

Check back soon for a run down of formation classes and atria beginning this Sunday, September 22nd!

Homecoming Tomorrow!

Tomorrow we gather for our Homecoming Celebration! Our service begins at 10:30 am but all are welcome at 10:15 am to bless the new Food Pantry. Join us after Church for lunch and a Ministry Fair! There will be crafts for children and family friendly games! Bring five items to donate to the Food Pantry (or pay $5 per ticket) for a chance to win a raffle with some great prizes! I'll be on hand so that you can register children for Christian Formation, and if you have a child new to the Good Shepherd Atrium you can sign up for Parent and Child Orientations.

Thanks to the amazing cleaning crew who tackled the Good Shepherd Atrium today - Christina and Sydney, Shawn and Alexandra, Kate and Garet, Kathleen and Lauryn, Lynette, Greyson, and Reece, and our fearless leader Deb! We were so busy working, I hardly had time for pictures. But here are a few for you to enjoy!

Wiping down the shelves.

So many tiny pieces to clean.

We used a lot of vinegar and water.

Everyone had a bucket.

We had a lot of dirty silver to polish.

We found a little time to play.

And thanks to Deb there were DONUTS!
