Fellowship

At Christ Church, we cherish one another and gladly welcome newcomers. Radiant fellowship is one of the hallmarks of our parish life.

Coffee hour, held in Graham Hall every Sunday, after the 10:15 a.m. service, is an easy way to enter and participate in our community. Members of the congregation provide refreshments in turn.

The lower lawn is the setting for the Wednesday evening barbecues in the summer. We contribute potluck side dishes to complement the efforts of our expert grill masters.

For 35 years, parishioners at Christ Church have gathered for Agape Fellowship meals that help us become better acquainted with each other.  Agape groups of eight or nine persons are formed each spring and fall and meet four times during the next six months in the members’ homes to share a potluck meal. The convivial meetings—usually but not always dinners—are scheduled at the convenience of the table members. The composition of the groups changes to bring different people together in each cycle. Singles as well as couples are welcome.

Parish Celebrations

Join us as we celebrate the feasts and seasons of the church year.

On the Twelfth Night after Christmas we celebrate Epiphany. We recall the three kings’ visit to the Christ Child with food and drink at an “Olde English” party, a candlelight service, and a Nativity tableau.

During Lent we gather for soup suppers and Bible study.

A Maundy Thursday seder commemorates Jesus’ last meal with his disciples.

On Easter morning, the Youth Group hides thousands of eggs for the children’s Easter Egg hunt.

At our Pentecost picnic we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, with good food and friendship.

The Sunday closest to All Hallows Eve brings a haunted stage and costume contest to the Sunday coffee hour.

On the first Sunday of Advent, we make Advent wreaths to take home.

Christmas Eve brings a a late-afternoon Christmas Pageant with little angels, shepherds, donkeys, cows, kings, and baby Jesus and a candlelit evening service.
