New meeting space has been created in the Church Offices of Christ Church! We have brought a conference table out of storage and have created a great meeting space in the room where our church copying machine is located. If any of our church groups would prefer to meet in a smaller space (for 12 people or less) rather than reserving the Fellowship Building, please feel free to contact the church office for details about how to reserve this space. Many thanks to Wayne Walker, John Chitty, NT Russell and Jeff Glance for assisting with this project.

New Ministry Begins at Christ Church

CD
Recordings of worship services are available on CD by request.
Contact the Church Office for more details!

Thanks to the generous contribution of a church member who wishes to remain anonymous, we have upgraded our sound system!  We are no longer recording worship services on cassettes but on a digital media recorder. Following an editing process, these worship services are now available to church members on a compact disc (CD). We plan to deliver these CD’s to our members who are no longer able to attend worship and make available copies to any members by request. Simply contact the Church Office and a copy will be provided to you. Our first recording that will be available will be on Sunday, December 9th.
