General Announcements for June 29 - July 6, 2022
Worship This Week. The work in the sanctuary has been completed and we'll be indoors for Sunday worship for both services this week. Nursery Care and Children's Chapel return on July 3. Nursery care is offered for ages 3 and under, and Children's Chapel is geared towards children 4 to rising 2nd graders. Older children are welcome based on parent discretion, as long as they are supportive of the ministry to the younger children.
Worship Survey. Thank you to everyone who responded to the Worship Survey. A total of 110 responded (15 from the 8:00 a.m. service and 95 from the 10:00 a.m. service), which is at least 50% of the average weekly attendance of each service. Here's a summary:
.Contemplative Prayer. Contemplative Prayer Group resumes Tuesday, July 12. Whether you are a practiced contemplative or just curious, join our prayer group that meets Tuesdays, 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. on Zoom. This is a low commitment group and occasional drop-ins are welcome. As we start together again, we will be learning about lectio divina, a great spiritual practice for engaging Scripture. For the zoom link email: office@stchriscarmel.org.
St. Christopher's Strawberry Festival, August 20, 1:00 - 6:00 p.m. It's time to shine a light on St. Christopher’s within our community once again by hosting our Strawberry Festival in downtown Carmel. After a multi-year hiatus, this year we’ve elevated our location to Midtown Plaza Carmel, 365 Monon Trail. We’ll need many to make this a success so please mark your calendars to volunteer on the afternoon of August 20 or the two days before to bake shortcakes. Watch for future announcements and the signup booth on Sunday mornings to be a part of this fantastic event.
Limited Office Hours During Week of July 3. The church office will be closed on Monday, the Fourth of July. Our office administrator will be out of the office the week of July 3. If you need to drop by, please call ahead.
