Welcome to Christ Church (back to top)

Welcome to Christ Church. Perhaps you’ve already attended a service here and are visiting our website to get more information. Perhaps you are checking us out online before you choosing to visit the church. We realize that people often seek a church when they have experienced a change in their lives, which may be a move, graduation from college, marriage, birth, sickness or death. We want you to know that Christ Church strives to care, support and guide you through these life changes. We also provide an array of opportunities for you to engage in worship, education, fellowship and service to God and community. We are glad you are here and we would love to help you in your quest for a spiritual home.
 
Information about Sunday services is available here, or find our Sunday announcements, called News and Notices, here, and our monthly newsletter here.
 
We would love for you to visit Christ Church. Each month we offer an Introduction to Christ Church seminar and campus tour to give you an overview who we are, our mission, vision and a tour to familiarize you with our campus. These are typically offered the second Sunday each month. If you have questions about our services or ministries, please email Christy Letanosky at letanoskyc@christchurchcharlotte.org .    

If you’ve invited guests to church, or if you know of visitors, please let them know that we have parking spaces reserved on Sundays just for them, alongside the parking spaces reserved for Seniors.

Men's Breakfast: First Friday for Men - June 7th (back to top)

June Men’s Breakfast set for Friday, June 7th, 7:00-8:00 AM in the Blue Room of Christ Church. We get the gift of more time with Bill Grier who’s offering treasure from a contemporary book entitled, Golf’s Sacred Journey. He’s sees this jewel as “a story about a bonfire of insignificance.” I got the chance to read it soon after it was published. And remember how pertinent it was to my life. A bunch of application for us men. Food and reservations are the same. We’ll be catered by Anderson’s and awakened with parish coffee. Cost is $8.00. Pay when you arrive on June 7th. Reservations insure there’s enough food. Either call parish events coordinator Kathy Schofield at 704/333-0378 or e-mail her at schofieldk@christchurchcharlotte.org.

From The Kitchen With Love (back to top)

Hello to all Christ Church parishioners, friends, and neighbors. Here’s some information you may not know about our dining programs:

Birthday Cakes
Christ Church Kitchen makes delicious Birthday Cakes (or for any occasion). Lots of different flavors to choose from, and lots of different sizes as well. We’ll write whatever you wish on it. Terrific prices too! Contact Chef Eric for all the details and let Christ Church Kitchen bake your next “special occasion” cake! You won’t be disappointed!

Food-To-Go
Is offered every Thursday in the Main Kitchen, excluding holidays and scheduling conflicts, beginning at 9:00AM until everything is sold. Selections will range from homemade soups and sauces, to entrees, desserts, and side dishes. Prices vary depending on item, but they are always a great deal! This is an extremely popular program; and getting here as close to 9:00AM as possible will ensure the best selection. The menu for that particular week (they change each week), is sent out via email every Monday. If you are not currently on the To Go Food email list, and would like to be, please see Kathy at the front desk. She will add you to the list.

I would like to thank all Christ Church parishioners for their continued support and patronage; it is a pleasure to serve you and I look forward to doing so this upcoming dining season. 

Altar Flower Donor Needed (back to top)

The flowers that grace the altar table are generously donated in honor, memory or celebration of a loved one(s). We are seeking a flower donor for June 29. If you are interested in one of these dates or learning more, please email polly.pearce@wellsfargo.com. 

Men Of Purpose Class (back to top)

This class meets on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM and has a theme of spiritual formation; however, each Sunday's conversation will stand on its own. Leadership rotates. We will continue our Lenten series with more tough questions that examine what we are willing to really sacrifice in this time of giving over. 

Upcoming Men's Discipling Events (back to top)

2013 Night on Mt. LeConte, Tenn. has been set. Thanks to the efforts of Stuart and Ginger Garner we have two large cabins reserved for Thursday, September 19th. There are 14 open spots for this one. Next month I’ll send notice of a 1st-come, 1st served registration process. We’ll actually have 20 men with us for 2013. Bill Ydel, who’s gone on all 5 LeConte trips, made an additional reservation for that same night. He’s got a 2-bedroom cabin. He, his son, parishioner Ferman Wardell ( also a LeConte veteran ) and Ferman’s son plan to be there. Still, our numbers can expand next year. Consider joining this fine trip.

Annual Parish Weekend at Kanuga - August 23rd-25th (back to top)

A road trip to the mountains is a fantastic idea! Mark your calendars for the annual KANUGA trip on August 23rd - 25th. Fun, fellowship, games, rafting, something for all ages.
