It Was a Special Week at Christ Church - and Yet, Not-So-Unique

This past week at Christ Church was both unique and not unique.
It was unique because on Thursday night, we welcomed strangers into our sanctuary - in fact, we can't recall there being a day like Thursday, when we had people from so many walks of faith united under our roof. The reason for gathering - our "Lift Us Up" Prayer Vigil for Non-Violence - was not a particularly happy reason, but it was absolutely necessary.
It was also not-so-unique because we always embrace those whom we haven't seen for a long while. Whether with Frank Brightwell from Somos Amigos on Sunday, the Reverend Richard A. Ginnever, our Rector Emeritus, on Wednesday, or Archdeacon Denise and Bishop Ihloff on Thursday, along with many others, we were able to catch up with old friends.
But what's so special about Christ Church is that we always welcome the stranger. We always open our hearts to others. And whether unique or not-so-unique, it was a week we won't soon forget. Thanks so much to everyone who came down to our campus this week or joined us on Zoom for one of our many sessions - you made this past week at Christ Episcopal Church one to savor, and one to build on.
Come down this morning for worship at 8:00, 9:00, or 10:30, and gather tonight for Lenten Taizé at 6:00. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME HERE.
