"We exist to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ

and to go make disciples of Jesus Christ." 

Worship Service, June 28, 2026

Welcome and Thank You Duane Houser —Duane Houser will be sharing today’s message. He is a graduate of Louisville High School. While in college, he sensed a call to ministry. He is a graduate of the College of Wooster and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and has served in a variety of pastoral positions.  Duane  also has 14 years’ experience working as a financial professional for Prudential.

Our church is collecting empty prescription and OTC bottles, through Matthew 25 Ministries. Please make sure you remove all adhered labels.  A box and sample bottle is on the table, for you to place your bottles in. This ministry has grown into an international humanitarian world-wide effort. They also accept walkers, crutches, wheelchairs, etc.  In August, Christ Church will get a trailer to deliver the bottles and handicap items.  Any questions, please see Karen and you can  Google Matthew 25 Ministries.   Thank you to Rev. Jim George for informing us of this ministry. 

 Butterfly Garden refresh. As butterflies do, the garden is going thru a metamorphosis. The trustees have been cleaning out the garden . Rocks will be laid as a base and you are welcome to bring in filled flower and plant pots. If you bring a pot, please place something under it to protect the stones underneath. Those who bring pots are responsible for care and maintenance of their pots. Let’s bring back the beauty and solitude of our garden.

Our Men’s Gathering will meet the last Saturday of the month during the summer.  Our next meeting will be July 25.  We encourage all men of our congregation to join us for faith, fellowship and fun!  See you then!!

Annual Church Picnic July 19th. There is a sign-up sheet in the hall so we have an idea how many to expect. Chicken, drinks, plates/silverware will be provided. Bring a covered dish. We are hoping for sunshine so that we can have our service and picnic in the front lawn. SAVE THE DATE!
