CHRIST CHURCH ON GREENWOOD - We are on the move!
One week from now, Rob and Rev. Marie will be on their way to Tarime (with a brief stop over in Nairobi).

Thanks so much for all your support ( every dollar of which goes to the Tarime projects, since the trip participants have covered their own expenses).
Please pray for God's work to be done in the trip - and for safety for all the travellers
The visible church is all the people who get together from time to time in God's name. Anybody can find out who they are by going to church to look.
The invisible church is all the people God uses for his hands and feet in this world. Nobody can find out who they are except God.
Think of them as two circles. The optimist says they are concentric. The cynic says they don't even touch. The realist says they occasionally overlap.

Let's live in the overlap today!

Transition Update # 1
Christ Church has a new home!
We are happy to report that Christ Church Anglican will be moving to the Greenwood Baptist Church property on Greenwood Avenue ? just around the corner and in our neighbourhood.
While there are real estate and legal matters to attend to, we are in good hands with people like Colin Dennis (who is acting for us in real estate matters) and Jane Mesich (who is the treasurer of our Diocese). Both of these people, among others, deserve our gratitude.
There are several milestones ahead of us, including completion of our final inspections of the new building, as we move towards possession of our new church building in early July. As announced this past Sunday we are planning to celebrate our final service at Christ Church on Vimy Sunday September 7th and begin our worship together at Christ Church on Greenwood Avenue on September 14th.?? We expect to have Bishop Stephen with us on September 14th and Rev. Canon Murray will be the celebrant for the September 7 service and Bishop Andrews will celebrate the first service in our new home. ...continue reading "WE ARE ON THE MOVE"
