Heritage Celebration Brunch Photos |

The Sacred Places heritage brunch, celebrating the 142nd anniversary of the church dedication, began with a poll of attendees -- asking them which decade they began attending Christ Church. George Matowski began attending as an 18-year-old in 1948 while the Gibsons, Pat Carruth, Dot Albert, and the Lyons began in the 1950s. A timeline of the history of Christ Church was prepared by Ruth Beard, Sarah Blair and Ann Grady listing national events, local events, and church happenings during the 14 decades of our history. Parishioners were (and are) invited to place dates special to them on the timeline -- to personalize it for our church community. Births, baptisms, weddings, funerals, and special occasions are welcomed. The brunch speakers were led off by Senior Warden Paul Harrington who
described his family ties to Christ Church -- that his grandmother and
grandfather met there and that his father allowed that images of the
church got him through some tough days in World War II.

The latest in the monthly series of fund-raisers to close our budget gap was the Chuckwagon dinner, held last Saturday. It was well-attended and successful. Not only was the food excellent, there was a wonderful sense of community as people stayed and talked with one another. Thanks go to Bill Koucky and his NECI helpers, the Stewardship committee led by Ida Lange and Angela Simpson, and a host of volunteer workers and pie makers.

 Thanks to many donations and many volunteers and good weather, the Christ Church Rummage Sale held July 25th was very successful. David announced that we took in over $1,200 from sales and a former acolyte, visiting and impressed with all the work folks had done, donated $1,000. Particular thanks to Dave and Angela Simpson, Sharon Wilson, and Ida Lange but also to community and church members who donated items and all those that set up, sold, and cleaned up.
