ANNOUNCEMENTS:

The Next Writers’ Circle at Christ Church is on December 6th! *

Also Lessons and Carols with the Bishop THAT VERY EVENING!

* John Cedarleaf is leading a writing group at Christ Church. It's a chance to read your work, get to know each other better, and relax over great words. All genres welcome. We'll write together from a prompt and talk about our writing process. No critique at this point, though that may change by group decision. The group will meet in the Guild Room on the first Saturday of the month, from 3 to 5 PM. Bring up to two pages of writing or just bring yourself and listen and enjoy. Come to the Parish House door and ring the doorbell. 

MUSIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Christ Church Youth Ensemble

will start up in September and we want your kids to participate.  Please mark your calendar for the first rehearsal: Sunday, following the 11:00am Eucharist for about 20 minutes.  This will happen each Sunday. Kids will sing and play instruments together.  They will learn music reading skills, music improvisation skills and learn to work together as a team of musicians.  Jimmy Jeffery, Assistant Organist, will rehearse and direct this ensemble.

The Christ Church Choir

Wednesday night rehearsals from 6:30 - 8:00pm.

Compline, by the Schola Cantorum

will return on the first Sunday in October and will be preceded by the first Candlelight Concert.  Compline is observed every Sunday at 9:00pm (October through April) and Candlelight Concerts are on the first Sunday of each month at 8:30pm.  Receptions follow Compline in the Guild Room on First Sundays.

Please contact Stephen Kennedy, music director, to find out how to become a member of one of these ensembles, become involved in helping Pru Kirkpatrick with receptions, or becoming a Compline Usher and Candlelighter.

The Rev. Dr. Julianne Buenting

is our interim rector until November 1st. After that she will still be a supply presider on some Sundays.
