Come
worship at Christ Church during
the
season after Pentecost.
You
are welcome here!
We're
currently on "summer schedule." Holy Eucharist worship
services are offered every Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Historic church
(contemporary music); Sunday at 8 a.m. in the Historic church (Rite I -
"old" language, no music; and Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the New church
(modern language, traditional music). Youth groups, church school, and choirs
are suspended until the fall.
Mark
your calendars for Wednesday Jesus Way Bible Study, beginning July
16, from 7:30-9 p.m. in the air conditioned library. Let's listen to the
Gospel, Holy Spirit, and each other as we seek the Jesus Way. The group
will meet July 16, 23, 30, and August 20 & 27. Bring a Bible or use
one of ours, but do join us and learn the way we do God's mission and
live.
Register
your preschool through 5th grade children now for this year's Vacation Bible
School, "God's Big Backyard." VBS 2008 will once again
be held in the air conditioned classrooms of Middletown Reformed Church,
just down the street on Kings Highway. Call or email us for registration info.
Classes are held from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon, August 4 - 8.
By
the smiles and hugs all around it was evident that God blessed our pilgrimage
again. All returned safe and sound Wednesday, July 9. Thank you,
Father, for these young lives and their mentors. Bless them to be a
blessing to you and your mission.

Thanks
to the prayerful and financial support of our congregation, we completed our 30
Hour Famine
and
raised $12,850. As a result, 35 of the "hungriest of the hungry"
children will be fed for one year. Read about the 30-Hour Famine.
The
Christ Church office has a new paper shredder, pictured
below.
This
model features an energy-saving standby mode (below, right). Sylvia, the
Church Cat, is more than willing to help with the daily office chores.

column, The Cat's Meow.
Welcome to Christ Church, Middletown
