Baby Care Kits Update

If you are unable to go shopping or just want to donate money to this great project, we will welcome any donations and you can access this through our online giving portal. We will go out and purchase the items that are still needed, as well as help cover the shipping cost.

The Baby Care Kits are given to Lutheran World Relief.  Many participating churches come together with all their boxes of kits which are loaded onto a truck and then shipped.

COMMUNITY of CHRISTCHURCH'S

JOURNEY of DISCOVERY

During the Annual Meeting, Council President Suze Engbretson, Council Member Steve Delamarter, and Pastor David gave a presentation that laid out a proposal for what the next year might look like for our congregation. If you were unable to attend the meeting or would like a refresher on that presentation, we encourage you to watch it here.

So now we invite you to ask yourselves the question:

How would I like to participate?

Here are a few of the ways you can engage in this work:

1. Do some online research to discover potential partners that you can pass along to the rest of the congregation. What are you passionate about? What are the needs that you see in your community? Simply drop a few keywords into your favorite search engine and see what emerges. If something catches your eye, share it with the rest of us during our after-worship chats.

2. Join a team of 2 to 3 people to scout and vet potential partners. Attending coffee chats/other events would be part of this.

3. If you are not feeling ready to commit to being part of a team, consider attending the after-worship coffee chats to hear about possible partners and attend/participate in zoom meetings or in-person opportunities to connect to possible partners.

4. Send thank you notes, and assist with other tasks that you can do from home.

5. Pray. Pray for our congregation, for the surrounding communities, for the teams, and for careful discernment.

If any of these are something you would be willing to do, please contact Rhonda P (admin@comchristchurch.org), Pastor David (pastordavid@comchristchurch.org), or one of our Church Council Members.

If there is another way you want to participate that is not listed, please let us know. There is a place for everyone on this journey.

Please join us for our first Journey of Discovery chat

after worship on Sunday, July 24th!
