Looking Forward to Christmas
Considering that attendance at the "Midnight
Mass" at Christ Church and at other churches has waned over the past
decade, we are changing our Christmas Eve schedule to better
accommodate families with young children - details inside.

Liturgy Notes
The center of the life of the church is communal
worship—and at Christ Church the focus of worship is the Holy
Eucharist. Each Sunday we gather to share in the mystery of Christ’s
presence in bread and wine, made for us into the living presence of
the Christ.

Feast of the
Epiphany
The end of the `Twelve Days of
Christmas' is the Feast of the Epiphany. Epiphany began in
eastern Christendom not as a celebration of the concluding event of
the birth of Jesus, but as a celebration of the beginning of his
ministry as an adult when he was baptized by John in the River
Jordan. Join us on Thursday, Jan. 6 at 10am or 7:30pm for
celebrations of the Eucharist.

Interfaith
Community Thanksgiving Service
Manhasset has a rich tapestry of
cultures, ethnicities and religious traditions. We give thanks
for them. We were happy to host the Interfaith Community
Thanksgiving Service on Nov. 21 - sponsored by the Manhasset Clergy
Association. Look inside for the liturgy notes and
participating congregations.

Confirmation Notice
Confirmation is an important step in Christian development and it
will be our goal to give you the opportunity to be better prepared
to understand, not only the tradition of the church, but the role of
religious and spiritual life in the changing world around us, and
the world in which you will be called to provide leadership.

Saint Francis Celebration
On Sunday, Oct. 3, we celebrated the Feast of St.
Francis with the blessing of the animals at the conclusion of our
10am service. We enjoyed the company of many dogs, cats,
bunnies and even a cricket on a radiant Autumn day in the courtyard
(hey, if they live in your garage, you might as well be friends with
the little bugs!). Photos!!!
