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!

Please call or email me if you have questions at Scott@nulltriec.com

East High Street Churches Walking Tour

Sat. Jul 23, 2022 10:00am – 11:30am

Springfield’s houses of worship serve as anchors in the revitalization of our historic neighborhoods. The East High Street Historic District is home to three landmark churches close to downtown: Christ Church, designed by the eminent Detroit architect Gordon W. Lloyd (1874); High Street United Methodist Church, one of Frank Packard’s best examples of the Craftsman Style (1904); and the spectacular St. Raphael Catholic Church, designed by local architect Charles A. Cregar. Join historian Kevin Rose as he delves into the history and architecture of these ecclesiastical landmarks. The cost is $15 for the general public and $12 for the Westcott members; we will meet outside Christ Church, 409 East High Street, at 10 am.

Christ Church will collect socks and underwear of all sizes starting Sunday, July 24th, through August 28th. All socks and underwear can be placed in the basket by the elevator or dropped off at the Parish office. The socks and underwear will be blessed at the 10 am service Sunday, August 28th. In September, the socks and underwear will be donated to local schools and handed out to students in need. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kelly Zeller at zellerk0611@nullgmail.com or 937-323-8651.
