Special Rites and Celebrations

Christ Church is a family church!  We embrace and celebrate those rites that are central to family life. Are you planning a wedding?   Would you like to schedule a baptism for your child or yourself?  Perhaps you need to know more about communion or confirmation?  We can help you.

Holy Eucharist (Communion)

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. At Christ Church all ages participate in the Eucharistic celebration.

Pastoral Care

Father Lowry or a trained lay minister is available to visit you in the hospital or at home. Please click on counseling if you would like to meet with Father Lowry privately.

Particpate in the Service

In addition to clergy participation in the liturgy, we also have a large group of lay-people who regularly assist at the Eucharist. This includes lectors, intercessors, lay-Eucharistic ministers, acolytes, choristers and members of the altar guild. Young people in junior and senior high school are also encouraged to participate as lectors and intercessors.

Inspiration

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name;
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.    Psalm 29:2
