Package pickup will be on December 12 at the church. ... Like always, Gifts of Christmas is open to everyone, so please sign up & share this with others!

Here is a short video from our new Bishop Elect, Sandra Fyfe

Results of the second ballot!

We are electing a new bishop today! Here is the result of the first ballot

This is a lovely tribute to Susan LeMoine Gore, who was a member of our community and part of our church. She always had a smile for kids and babies, and we will miss her presence in our midst. https://www.arbormemorial.ca//susan-jean-lemoine-gore/52394

We are so sorry to be saying good bye to our excellent custodian and sexton Chris MacDonald. Chris is moving on to a new job which he says will give him more time to be at the church! We will miss Chris’s big smile and friendly greetings. He has been an important part of our ministry team and we wish him very well in his new adventures.

Christ Church is hiring! We are looking for a part time Custodian. This job is 20 hours a week, and you can find the details at Cansa.ca.

If all the tech works out, we are going to try live-streaming a wedding this afternoon! John Ward and Jenny Sperry are getting married and have been working really hard on how to have a safe wedding in a pandemic. We are streaming it for their friends and family who would like to watch, but can’t attend.
