Adult Forum in April~Episcopal Things…

April 28 – Updates from Province V – This year, Rev. Michelle was elected to serve as the clergy delegate to Province V synod, happening in April. Join us for an overview of what happened there.

Please join Christ Church on December 31st at 10 am for a festive Lessons and Carols service! We will welcome guest musicians Christina Darding and Jeff Carter and soloist, Joy Meyers.

Whether you’ve been coming here one week or ever since you were baptized as an infant – we need your input as we celebrate our past and envision our future. Please join us Sunday for a combined service at 9:30 am ( there will only be one Rite II service). Then, we will meet in the Parish Hall for fellowship and fun as we celebrate all God continues to do here at Christ Episcopal Church!

Special Announcement to All Members of Christ Episcopal Church

The Search Committee and the Vestry are very excited to announce that after an intensive search, we have a new Rector for Christ Church.

Her name is The Rev. Dr. Michelle Boomgaard. She and her husband will be moving here from Charleston, West Virginia. She is bringing a wealth of talent, education, and experience with her to our parish. We feel very lucky to have her lead our congregation.

She will begin her ministry with us on Palm Sunday, April 2^nd.

I know it has been a long road of trials and tribulations over the last five years, but I think this marks a new beginning for us. I look forward to welcoming all of you at Services.

Many thanks to Denise Sharp and the entire Search Committee for all their hard work over the last 12 months.

YouTube

The easiest way to watch our church services on YouTube is:

• Open YouTube on your TV. (this depends on your TV and if you are using Spectrum cable or possibly  a ROKU device)

• Go to “Search” and Enter “Christ Church Springfield”. (by the time you have entered “Christ Church Spr” there will be a list on the left side of the screen.

• Look at the list, and we will be about the third one down

• Do NOT type “Christ Episcopal”. Our church will not come up on the list.

That’s all there is to it!
