General Announcements for September 28- October 5, 2022
During the 10:00 hour, October 2
There will be no Children's Chapel this Sunday because of the Pet Blessing. Nursery Care is available for children ages 0-3. There is no formation this Sunday. Formation resumes on October 9, when 3rd - 5th Grade Group, Youth Group, and Common Grounds will meet. Blessing of the Animals, Sunday, October 2 at 10am. Does your dog look longingly at you when you leave for church on Sunday mornings? The 10:00 a.m. service on October 2 is your pet's chance to join you in the pew. At our annual pet blessing to celebrate the feast day of St. Francis, you are invited to bring your pets (or pictures of them) to worship. All of God's creatures will worship in an abbreviated way, and pets will receive blessings after communion. Stuffed animals are also welcome. The 8:00 a.m. service will remain free of four-legged furry friends.
New Member Welcome, Sunday, October 9. New Member Welcome happens twice a year at St. Christopher's and our next welcome is on October 9. If you are not officially a member and you are ready to call St. Christopher's your church, we would love to have you (and to get you a name tag!) Please request/return a new member form by October 3 to office@stchriscarmel.org. Or completed the online form below.
Packing Back Sacks for Carmel Schools, Sunday, October 2. Immediately following the Pet Blessing service we will pack for the Carmel Schools. This packing is a joint effort of donations from the congregation as well as items received from a grant to the program. We will pack approximately 584 bags, which will provide 146 participating students from 12 schools for 4 weeks.We especially will need help from those who do not have animals who have joined them at church for the pet blessing!
We are in need of drivers to deliver back sacks on either Wednesday, October 5, or Thursday, October 6. Please use the link below to let us know you can help. Thank you! What a fantastic response we had last Sunday for the packing for Shepherd Community Center! We packed 1,000 bags in under 40 minutes, and everything was cleaned up and ready to be picked up in less than an hour.
Service for Tom Litkowski. The visitation and funeral service for Tom Litkowski will be on Saturday, October 1 at St. Christopher's. The visitation will begin at 9:00 a.m. followed by the funeral service at 10:00 a.m.
