Invitation to join Christ Church Choirs

By joining the choir you are blessed with the opportunity to pray twice and are guaranteed a good seat for worship! Anyone desiring to donate some time and talent to worship is heartily encouraged to join the Chancel Choir or the Children’s and Canterbury Choirs. Rehearsal times for the children is 10:45 to 11:30 following Sunday Eucharist and as announced for special events. The children warm up and robe at approximately 9:15 a.m. on any Sunday they are singing. Anthem/singing dates will be announced via email to choir parents. As always, help is needed in getting the children robed on Sunday mornings and routine robe maintenance. See, call, or e-mail John Pivarnik at johnpivarnik@optonline.net for further information.

 

Baptisms

Holy Baptism is initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body and thus the Church. Therefore it is appropriate that Baptism be administered during a celebration of the Eucharist on a Sunday or other feast day. Baptism is offered at Christ Church according to the rubrics of the Book of Common Prayer at the Easter Vigil (mid-March to late April), on the Day of Pentecost (sometime in May or June), the Sunday after All Saints’ Day (early November), and on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord (the first Sunday after the Epiphany in mid-January). Baptism is also offered on the Sunday closest after Holy Cross Day in mid-September.

 

Weddings

The celebration of Christian marriage is an occasion of great joy. The clergy and staff of Christ Church are pleased that a couple seek a holy union, and will counsel and direct them through the marriage process. Any day may be scheduled for a marriage except on Easter Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or in Lent.
