Faith News Update for September 21, 2017

September 24th, 2017

9:30am Sunday Worship with

Holy Communion


In This Place

Old Testament reading for this Sunday:

Genesis 27:1-4, 15-23; 28:10-17

Dear Members and Friends of Community of ChristChurch,

I wanted to let you all know that I will not be in the office very much next week (September 25-29) as my family and I will be preparing for my mother’s service. A Celebration of Life service will take place at West Linn Lutheran Church (20390 Willamette Drive, West Linn, OR 97068) on Saturday, September 30th at 2pm. Everyone attending is invited to stay afterward to join our family for a pie and coffee reception.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking people to consider donating to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation ( www.bcrfcure.org) or a charity of their choice, in her memory (Mary Marjorie “Marge” Eppelsheimer.) Pastor Gary Grafwallner will preach and lead worship for me on the following Sunday, October 1st. Thank you all for your prayers, cards, and kind words during this time of mourning.
God’s peace,
Pastor David

Join us after Worship this Sunday!

LAST CHANCE!
Contact Information and Communications Survey

ChristChurch is in the beginning phases of switching our church online directory. Help make this happen by giving the church office your contact information.

Additionally, ChristChurch communicates through many different methods. We want to know which methods are most effective in passing on information to you.

This is the last week I'll have the survey in Faith News! Go here to fill in the online version.


Thanks to everyone that has already taken the survey.
