Christ Church in October

Last Sunday October 14 was Inspiration Sunday.  As Pastor Chuck Rush said in his communication to the Congregation "
Think for a moment when you were inspired by a great idea and you felt like you had the resources to act on it… The burst of energy in the morning, the bounce in your step, a surge of positive optimism that bubbled with good ideas…"
It is early in the morning as I compose this blog.  I wake up with energy to write to you about my church, Christ Church, and the church universal UCC.  Pastor Chuck goes on to say "
This Sunday we lift up the wonder of inspiration itself and we celebrate it with an Art show featuring people in the congregation who have painted and sculpted crosses in so many different ways. It is something of a living metaphor of our life as a community with people from many different walks of life and many different cultures converging around a common symbol that means different things to each of us. There is a real beauty that comes from variation on a common commitment."
To me this represents our church.  For more about Inspiration Sunday I urge you to listen to the sermon that he preached last Sunday. 

Next Sunday October 21 will be Welcome Sunday.  We are inviting all of you who read this blog and have not attended a service at Christ Church Summit to come and check us out at our 9:30 AM service.
Here is the invitation.

Hello!

I heard about this opportunity at our church (Christ Church in Summit) and I thought of you!  If you are interested in looking for a spiritual home, a place for you or your family to explore service opportunities or a community of support, this is a great Sunday to try out Christ Church!

Christ Church is hosting an Open House this Sunday, October 21st.

We have two services at 9:30am and 11:15am.  The first service is a more "family-friendly" service and the second is more meditative with jazz piano.  There will be an opportunity to learn more about the church's adult, youth and children's programs during coffee between the two services.  Nursery care is provided at both services.

Comment if you have any Questions.

 Since I am a choir member I have been humming the Welcome Song written by our Minister of Music Mark Miller.
