Saint Nicholas Visited Christ Church this past Sunday!

Saint Nicholas, the third-century Bishop of Myra, serves as an example of living out service to Jesus Christ by showing God’s love to others through his protection of children, sailors, and all in trouble and need. St. Nicholas Day is traditionally celebrated on December 6, but since our Sunday services were the following day this year, Saint Nicholas took time out of his busy schedule to stop and say "Hello!" to our children at the 9 a.m. Family Worship.

Little Voices, Big Message

We didn't livestream our 9 a.m. Family Worship, but we were able to capture a wonderful moment during it... the children of Christ Church decided to present Bishop Carrie Schofield-Broadbent with a song during her visit to our parish this morning. The title and lyrics of the song are simple, but they are needed in today's world. Thanks to Jan DeBoissiere for helping them sign the lyrics, because during the final round, they presented the song in ASL only, no singing. The so
