Healing and Prayer Ministry

“Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”

The Healing Prayer Ministry is committed to helping people who are in need not only of a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, and Savior but of Jesus, The Healer.

Each Sunday, the Healing prayer ministers are available during the Eucharist at the Healing Station. 

The Healing Prayer team is passionate about people personally experiencing and awakening to God’s love, healing, and blessing in every area of their lives. Our mission is to be available to prayer when and where needed, believing that Jesus still heals today. Out of our own miraculous healings, we pray in faith for others. If you are interested in learning more about this ministry, please ask the Rector to put you in touch with Judy Blaisdell. 

Pastoral Care, Visiting and Delivery of Altar Flowers

Christ Church offers pastoral care through clergy and lay persons. 

We offer comfort ,support and prayer for those hurting, struggling or grieving.  Contact the Rector Mark Pendleton to learn more.

Gardening Team

The Garden Team invites your help to keep our grounds looking their best! There are many small areas around the buildings that need to be kept free of weeds and need occasional pruning, or perhaps you want to get creative with new plantings. Our goal is to have many volunteers, each committing to one area, setting their own schedule for their gardening. As we all know, many hands make for light work!

If you can offer some time and talent to this ministry, please contact Judy Blaisdell.

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild ministry is dedicated to assisting the clergy in preparing the sanctuary and the chapel for worship services. The Guild is responsible for both the set-up and clean-up for all services including weddings, funerals, and baptisms. Members serve in teams and scheduled in one week rotations throughout the year. These teams change every four months to provide the opportunity to work with different people.

Altar Guild is open to men, women and teens.  Come back go the sacristy (behind the organ) and ask for Patti or Diane. 

Welcoming Team/Ushers

The mission of the Welcoming & Hospitality Team is to ensure every person who walks through the doors feels cared about, informed and included. Each week our Team includes a member of the Vestry who joins in greeting people as they arrive.

Greeters welcome “regulars” and guests. Ushers hand out bulletins and help everyone get comfortably seated. Ushers and greeters also support guests by orienting them to our facilities, addressing any questions and helping them to connect with our ministers, leadership and the members of our parish.

Serving on the Welcoming Team is a great way to meet the members of our parish and contribute to parish life. You may serve as an individual, with a partner or as a family. As a diverse parish, we love having people of all ages. 

For the 10:00 service please contact the Rector Mark Pendleton He will put you in contact with the team. We would love to have you!
