Christ Church has a dedicated prayer ministry team that meets weekly to go over current and new prayer requests. If you are interested in serving on the prayer team, or If you are in need of prayers, please contact Alice Bagley.

This group meets most Saturdays at 8:20 am in the library for Contemplative Prayer. Learn more about this type of prayer and how to incorporate it into your life. Contact Vee Henderson for more info, or just show up any Saturday morning.

Since 2011, the Prayer Shawl Ministry at Christ Church has given 390 shawls to parishioners, family, and friends who needed the presence of God in the comfort of a prayer shawl...whether suffering from illness, job loss, death of loved ones, anxiety, or just going through tough times. The group usually meets on the first Thursday afternoon in Room 101 and welcomes new knitting/crocheting friends any time. Look for meeting announcements in your weekly E-News, or contact Bev Fish for more info.

Retreat volunteers assist in creating a prayerful and reflective environment during various Christ Church retreats, and their duties are deeply connected to the spiritual purpose of the retreat. The role is not merely administrative; it is a ministry of service that supports the spiritual formation of others. Duties could include hospitality and set-up of event, logistics and support to the Retreat Leader. Contact Fr. Todd Blackham.
