   Current Outreach Projects

The Backpack Ministry will continue to the end of the school year.  All are welcome to help pack backpacks on Sunday mornings following the 10:00 AM service.  If you would like to help purchase the food with donated money, or help transport the bags to the schools on Thursdays, please talk to Pam Critchfield or sign up on the sheets on the glass case in the parish house hallway.  Monetary donations for this project can be made by writing a check to Christ Episcopal Church with a notation on the check that it is for the Backpack Ministry.

A Recent Addition to the Memorial Garden

cross from BA.jpg

      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.
