Collect, Readings, Sermon, and Livestream for August 30, 2026

Pentecost XIV at Christ Church

This Sunday, we invite you to gather together for a special, unified service at 10:00 a.m., when we can all worship together! Following the service, the celebration continues with our annual Parish Festival and Ministry Fair - it’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy delicious food, meaningful fellowship, and fun activities for all ages.

During the fair, every ministry at Christ Church will be represented, and it is the perfect chance to stroll through, chat with our dedicated ministry leaders, and discover the incredible ways they support both our parish and the broader community. Whether you're looking to deepen your involvement or simply want to learn more, you just might find a calling that speaks directly to your heart and helps keep our community vibrant.

Let’s worship as one, celebrate our community, and discover the amazing groups that make our common life so special.



(Sunday School, Education for Ministry, and all formation classes remain on their summer break.)
