Two Opportunities to Give this Lent
1. This Lent, we are putting together flood buckets to be stored locally for rapid response in this area. We are doing this in partnership with the other United Methodist Congregations. The goal between our congregations is at least 100 buckets. We divided up the items needed between our churches. Christ Church has been asked to provide:
34 5-gallon buckets with lids
100 32-65 oz bottle liquid laundry detergent (best size 50 oz)
100 6-14 oz pump spray insect repellent (pack of 10-20 wipes acceptable)
500 Nylon-like scouring pads (No stainless steel or pads with soap.)
100 Pairs of heavy-duty, reusable work gloves (Such as Nitrile, cotton with leather palms, or all leather)
You can sign up in the narthex, or if you would like to donate cash toward the purchase of items, write the check to Christ UMC and FLOOD in the memo line and on your envelope.
On Maundy Thursday, we will gather at Norwood UMC at 4 PM to assemble the buckets, followed by a carry-in meal, followed by a joint Maundy Thursday Service.
2. Also, our regular Lenten offering is earmarked for Harvest of Hope. Please give generously to support this ministry that fights hunger locally.
Bell and choir rehearsals have started, and we’re excited to welcome new ringers and singers! We invite everyone to come and make a joyful noise with us finding inspiration in Psalm 100. If you’re interested in joining our bell choir, please contact Beth Payton in advance for proper preparation.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Join us on April 1st, 2025, at 7:00 PM for a presentation by Boris Goldin on "Messiah in the Passover". Don't miss it!
