Christ Church

JESUS is CHRIST

Are you concerned about the state of the nation, the faith of the church, and the future of God's people???     

  If so...

Please be reminded of God's Grace as described in Romans 8:28        

Here at Christ Church, we offer simply, and humbly, the basic elements of Christian faith and worship.   We proclaim the kingdom,   we break bread, we worship, we pray, and we lovingly enjoy the fellowship of Christ in our fellow members here at our mission fellowship.  We do what churches are supposed to do:  we teach our children the Faith in their Sunday School, we encourage the adults to live life in the light of the Word of God in our Bible studies, and we have great church suppers.

This Sunday's Reading

In our Sunday worship, we rejoice in blending the great hymns of the Church, so rich in their expression of the Faith, with the more contemporary choruses which help us satisfy the desire of every Christian to praise God and to worship in the spirit.  

Even though we are a small group, we do what we can to help the community around us to enjoy the themes of the liturgical year.  Whether it is putting together a small choir for the nursing homes during Christmas, or inviting our neighbors to a good 4th of July family picnic in Ordinary Times, we try to do all we can to enter the community and celebrate our faith and joy in Christ.   

Our favorite thing is to share in the riches of the Word of God, in home and in community Bible studies. Our goal is to seek the fulfillment of St Paul's prayer in Ephesians chapter one....          

......that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you  a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,  and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.....

In short, we stay busy doing the things God has given us to do.  Weekly, we look forward to offering back to God in worship all he has provided, by hearing the Word of God, sharing in the benefits of the shed blood of the cross, and enjoying the  fellowship of the Holy Spirit.  Come and join us some morning on the first day of the week, and help us make more visible this awesome kingdom.  You are welcome here.  

When you visit, we will hand you an easy to follow service missal, derived from the Book of Common prayer, and invite you to join us in our praise of God. 

We truly look forward to meeting you!
