One parish with two centers for worship and ministry

The parishioners in our parish are delighted to share "Our Parish Profile" as we begin the search for a new priest. We invite you to pray with us.

Almighty God, giver of every good gift:
Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a rector for this parish,
that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(Page 818, The Book of Common Prayer)

Recent Community Outreach

As the Christmas parade formed on the streets around Christ Church, the church restrooms were made available to the public.

Over 250 Christmas parade goers were treated to a brief respite from the cold and/or free hot chocolate.

Free hot chocolate was offered to warm the cold Christmas parade participants and spectators.

This school year parishioners have packed 76 backpacks for Head Start children each week.

At Christmas time, grocery store gift cards were presented to each of the 76 Head Start families to help with their Christmas dinners.

Each week a volunteer shops for the food and brings it to the church. After it is packed in individual bags, another volunteer delivers them to Head Start sites in Clarksburg and Shinnston. .

Monetary donations are periodically given to the Mustard Seed. Parishioners also make donations of household items and clothing.

One or two days a week parishioners deliver half gallon jugs of milk to the Mustard Seed.

Fresh eggs are also given periodically by another parishioner.

A Recent Addition to the Memorial Garden

Where this cross has been for more than 150 years is unknown, but its creation has been traced to France. It bears the date of 1851 and the French words, Corneau Freres of Charleville.

The Corneau foundary, created in 1846, by the Corneau brothers, Alfred and Emile, specialized in ornamental cast iron and produced numerous artistic cemetery crosses with images of St. Peter and St. Paul at the base of the cross. The Corneau Freres foundries became one of the leading manufacturers of art cast iron in the second half of the 19th century.

A gift of a large, ornate, antique cross has been given by Brenda Barnes in memory of her daughter Felicia Lynn Wine Mollohan. It rests above the columbarium in the Christ Church Memorial Garden.
