General Announcements
Calling all current and future acolytes. On July 21, we will have a training after worship for current and future acolytes. More experienced acolytes will be trained in the crucifer role, and new acolytes will be trained for the other roles. Many of our crucifers graduated from high school this year, so it is very important that we have eighth graders and up come and be trained for this role. Fourth graders and older are invited as well to join the core of acolytes. Training should last about a half hour. Family-Friendly Meet and Greet. Join your fellow congregants Wednesday, July 17, for an evening of getting to know one another and the new rector in the Parlor at church (on the second floor above the lobby area). Refreshments will be served. The kids will be at VBS, but if you have a child who is not going to VBS, feel free to bring them. If you missed your Green, Blue, or Yellow neighborhood meet and greet, you are welcome to this one! (Red and Purple – your meet and greets are in August). RSVPs are necessary so that we can keep the gathering an intimate size. Please use this link to RSVP: http://bit.ly/2LM4Hgf or you may call Anita Walker at 317-846-8716. Youth Host the July Young at Heart Luncheon. On Wednesday July 24, the youth of St. Christopher’s will host the Young at Heart Luncheon. We have a wonderful time each summer as we cook together, set tables, and sit down to enjoy a meal with those who attend the meal. We will meet in the kitchen at 10:00 am to begin cooking, setting up and getting ready for the lunch that begins at 11:30 am. Please plan to stay until 1:00 pm as we eat and then clean up after the meal. Please RSVP to Kate Bender kzbender@sbcglobal.net or Anita awalker@stchriscarmel.org if you are able to help host. We would love to have as many youth attend and help as possible! This is a wonderful intergenerational morning of fellowship and fun, and we hope you consider helping as you can! Children, Youth, and Family Calling all current and future acolytes. On July 21, we will have a training after worship for current and future acolytes. More experienced acolytes will be trained in the crucifer role, and new acolytes will be trained for the other roles.

Children’s Chapel is our summer offering for children second grade and under during the 10:00 am service. Children begin in the service with their parents and process out at the time of the readings for their own service that mirrors the “big church” service. Third to fifth graders – there are new blue worship bags for you at the entrance of the church with activities for you during worship. Vacation Bible School, “Hi God, It’s Me!" This summer Vacation Bible School will focus on prayer: making it comfortable, easy, and fun! VBS will take place the evenings of July 15 to July 18 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at St. Christopher’s. Children age three through fifth grade are welcome to attend. Outreach: Serving the Community The Summer Meals Program. Thanks to all who have helped us get half way through the summer meal program, 20 ounce cans of pineapple chunks, and strawberry jam or jelly (no grape please). Please place your donations in the basket under the round table in the narthex. No time to go to the store? Order your food donations online and have them delivered directly to the church. We are no longer in need of distribution help on Sundays between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. We still welcome help setting up at 9:00 am and filling bags immediately following the 10:00 am service. St. Christopher’s Crops News. The garden is in bloom and so are the weeds! Volunteers are needed on Wednesday evenings in particular to come and pull weeds to keep the vegetables growing unobstructed.
