The Book Club
Book Talk meets the second Monday in January, March, May, July, September, and November at 7:30 pm in the Parish House for informal discussion of religious literature and poetry. The people who attend this reading and discussion group select the books to be read.
The Fellowship Committee
The Supper Club is held the 2nd Saturday of each month, September through June except during Lent, at the home of parishioners. Everyone brings a dish to share that will feed approximately 8 people and $1.00 to cover paper goods, etc. The gatherings begin at 7:00 pm and usually end by 10:00 pm. Parishioners volunteer to host the dinners. The location and contact information is listed in the Sunday Bulletin the week prior to the Supper. The December gathering is the annual Adult Christmas Dinner, held in the Murdock Room at the Church. Each Sunday, the Coffee Hour Guild provides refreshments in the church dining room between the 9:00 am and the 11:00 am services. It is a time for food, fun, and fellowship. Teams of volunteers set up, serve, and clean up one Sunday a month, while others provide home-baked treats once a month.
The guild relies on donations to purchase the food, along with the generosity of these wonderful coffee hour "angels." Additionally, some provisions are funded by the Fellowship and Women of Christ Church budgets. We are always in need of bakers, and would welcome 2 or 3 more for every Sunday.
Dine and DealIs a parish Bridge group that meets on the third Monday of each month, September through June, has a catered dinner followed by two or three friendly games of cards. In an informal setting, Dine and Deal offers a great chance to meet new people, talk, and converse. Dine and Deal welcomes new members and one does not have to have a partner.
Women of Christ ChurchThe Women of Christ Church sponsor fellowship and fundraising activities for the parish. A major yearly function is the series of Lenten Luncheons. Over thirty women and men assist at each of the five luncheons. These luncheons have been a tradition at Christ Church for over twenty-five years. We have many loyal patrons from nearby offices as well as students and parents from Christ Episcopal School. During the 2004 Lenten Season, the Women of Christ Church raised $2,600 from the Lenten Lunches. Each week, the Women of Christ Church donated lunches to families identified as needing special care by members of the Pastoral Care Committee. These families were provided with food for three days. In addition, the Women of Christ Church donated excess food to Katherine Keys of the Lincoln Park community for distribution to residents in Lincoln Park. The Women of Christ Church contributed to the construction of the Handicapped bathrooms at the church, maintain supplies for the kitchen, donate to the diocese for the Episcopal Church Women and for women's scholarships in memory of the women of Christ Church who have died. The Women of Christ Church have a great outreach in our community ! |
