Celebration of our Call to Mutual Ministry |
|
Written by Rev. Paul Habersang
|
January 26, 2012
Dear Members and Friends of Christ Church,
On Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 4:00PM, The Right Reverend Thomas Ely will visit the people of Christ Episcopal Church, Montpelier to lead us in worship as we give thanks to God in “Celebration of our Call to Mutual Ministry.” This celebration will honor the partnership that has been forged between us since the Ministry Discernment Committee and the Christ Church vestry called me to serve as your Priest-in-Partnership. I firmly support the fundamentals of mutual ministry and I personally believe that as Christians in process, each of us is called to love and serve God and one another collaboratively! Because we are engaged in mutual ministry, there will only be one service celebrated on Sunday, March 11th so that everyone in our community can be together at one time.
Immediately following this festive Eucharist, we will continue with our celebration by sharing in a pot-luck meal. I hope you will mark your calendars and will make every effort to be present for this very special event!
Faithfully,
Paul Habersang
Priest-in-Partnership Christ Episcopal Church

Artist to display during Art Walk |
|
Artist Rosa Fink will be exhibiting at Christ Episcopal Church during Art Walk (February 10th). Her art will be exhibited in the Parish Hall Foyer that is entered from the court yard. Please contact Naomi Flanders if more info is required. She plans to be present for the duration of the Art Walk hours.
Here is a biography of the artist:
Rosa Fink is an artist born in 1988 living in Vermont. She enjoys reading, photography, film, and art. She received her BFA degree at Johnson State College and had an exhibition there. She works in other mediums such as collage, digital art, and photography. Art has always been a part of her background growing up, through dance, music, and writing. However, studio art has become her element. She experiments a lot with her work, through abstract and dreamlike images out of elements of nature such as leaves, sticks, and flowers. In her work she takes these overlooked natural objects and reveal their complexity allowing her to discover the patterns and forms hidden within nature. Currently living in Stowe, Vermont she still continues her work. |

Stewardship Luncheon A Success |
|
Saturday, 15 October 2011 18:14 |
|
A large congregation sang some familiar old hymns, listened to trumpet descants and wonderful choir anthems, heard a strong Christ the King sermon as well as a powerful "transformational moment" narrative by Ann Bushey, and gathered for the Eucharist as we observed the last Sunday in Pentecost.
Then, we filled the Parish Hall to celebrate the culmination of the Stewardship Campaign with a wonderful potluck. It took extra tables to seat everyone but as always, there was plenty of food and fellowship.
Here are some additional photos of the event
It is not too late to submit your stewardship pledge. These commitments are the way that the Vestry determines the proposed income for the coming year. If you need a form, please visit this page. If you'd like to talk about pledging, please contact

The Christ Church chapel was crowded with children, parents, godparents, and other witnesses as Braeden Schuren Burns and Noah Joseph Turner were brought into our Christian community in a wonderful service of baptism on September 13th, 2011.
Both babies were presented blankets knitted by the Christ Church Prayer Shawl Knitting ministry and baptismal certificates with calligraphy by Maggie Thompson. It was a spirit-filled welcome for our newest church members and reminder to all attending of our baptismal vows. |
