Christ Chruch Chatter

South Riding Church is now Christ Church! Welcome!! Our new website will be live soon.

WELCOME
to our worship Sunday when we celebrate the 25^th Sunday after Pentecost. The message for the next two week will center on "Knowing God, Trusting God, Honoring God." The last Sunday in November will be a We Are The Sermon (WATS) Sunday.
 
PRAYERS FOR THE PARISH
will be held this Tuesday. We begin at 7:15 at the church, and end by 8:30. Remember, "Prayer doesn't prepare us for the battle. Prayer IS the battle."
 
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
is in full swing. Please make your contributions today. The youth shopped for and packed 68 boxes last week. If you signed up for $7.00 boxes, please pack your own (you can pick up empty boxes from church this Sunday, or use your own) and have them at the church by next Sunday when we will bless the boxes. Remember $7.00 pays for shipping only, not the contents. If you would rather pay $20.00, it is not too late for us to shop and pack for you, but we must know today.
 
CHRISTMAS PAGEANT SUPERVISOR/DIRECTOR NEEDED
Each year we give our children and youth the opportunity to participate in a wonderful retelling of the birth of our Savior Jesus. Our Pageant date is December 22^nd, but as of now we have no one enlisted to oversee it. The task is short term, running for about 3 weeks as we sort and assign costumes and parts, and then run a rehearsal and the pageant it self. Please talk to Pastor Becki today if you can step up and direct it this year.
 
OUR ANNUAL PARISH MEETING
will be held next Sunday, November 17^th, immediately following our Sunday worship service. A soup and sandwich lunch will be served. We will be electing three vestry members, and hearing about the exciting life of this wonderful church. Please plan now to be in attendance.
 
CONFIRMED VESTRY NOMINEES
at press time include Steve Coates, Zita Collins, and Ben Langston. We may have one more nominee forthcoming.
