Christ ChurchChrist Church

Every worship service at our Christ Church is a unique creation among parishioners, clergy, lay leaders and volunteers. Many hands make light work and our worship thrives on volunteers who participate in our service ministries: Choristers, Ushers, Acolytes, Chalice Bearers, Lectors and Vergers. The work is rewarding: an opportunity to develop and use new skills, and to gain a new perspective on worship services. Our leaders are Richard and Elizabeth Clemmitt (Choir), Michael Peregrine (Ushers), Todd Trubey (Acolytes), Lawson Whitesides (Chalice Bearers), Suzie Sprowl (Lectors) and Jim Henderson (Vergers).

We always welcome new participants, so contact us this month to inquire about participation and to join these service ministries. There are sign-up forms in the Prevost Cloister. Or send an email message to Jim Henderson at [email protected]. The Worship Commit-tee will meet in February 2013 to consider all aspects of our services. Also contact Jim with any comments, ideas and suggestions related to our worship services. We want not only your participation, but also the benefi t of your input. We look forward to seeing your new role at our services, whether at 8 AM or 9:30 AM or special holiday services.

Annual Meeting Sunday, January 27

Please plan on attending our Annual Meeting following the 9:30 AM service on Sunday, January 27. We will elect new Ves-try members and honor our retiring Vestry members: Robin Anstaett (Warden), Kurt Anstaett, Marcy Champagne and Lawson Whitesides.

We are all then invited to share a brunch provided by the Hospitality Committee in the McClain room. This is a great way to start off the new year. Come for the inside scoop and stay for a great brunch.

Please join us at the home of Sherry Gormanous, 632 Melrose Ave., Kenilworth, Monday, Janu-ary 7, at 6:30 PM, for conversation and refreshments. We come together to honor the grieving process, as we are attentive to one another and to the workings of God’s grace among us. Any questions, please call Sherry (847-256-0549) or Deacon Heath (847-853-9263). A suggested reading is Chapter 1 in On Grief and Grieving, by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and David Kessler. Rides to and from Sherry’s are available.

Spiritual Bereavement Circle - January 7

Foyer Groups are forming once again! These groups are an opportunity for 8-10 adults to share a meal and get to know one another. Participation enhances your Sunday morning experience as you are able to connect with more people on a deeper level. Please look for an invitation coming through email. Please RSVP by January 18. Groups will then be formed, one member will be asked to host the fi rst gathering (with everyone contributing to the meal), then the group can decide when to get together again. Typically, groups meet 4-5 times over the coming year. You may sign up on-line or by calling Jeanne Stewart at the offi ce (847-446-2850).

While the adults are attending the Annual Meeting, the children and youth will gather for a fun service project in the classrooms on the nursery level. This year we will con-tinue our tradition of creating Valentine’s Day cards to send to friends of Christ Church who are homebound or in Hospice Care and lots of other folks connected to us specifi cally through our prayer ministry. If you are aware of someone we should add to our list of recipients, please submit names and addresses to Abigail.

No matter the time of day (even the wee hours of the morning), no matter the location (even Chicago), we would like to be with you before surgery. Please let us know.
