After the 10:30 a.m. service, the congregation and visitors gather for hospitality, coffee, juice and cookies. It is a great way to get to know each other better, to welcome visitors and new comers and to discuss what is going on with our several projects.
Special Services
During the time of Lent, we have Ash Wednesday Service and a special gathering on the evening of Maundy Thursday to commemorate the Lord's Supper and the last days of our Savior's life, in contemplation of our redemption.
Opportunities to Serve
Many hands make light work, and there is no exception to that saying at St. Christopher's. Our members make generous contributions of their time and talent in service to our community church.
Acolytes
These young members of our congregation are instrumental ministers of our worship services. It is so impressive to see our children grow and take roles of responsibility in service to the congregation.
Youth Groups
Our Youth Groups are led by our new youth minister, Heather Bradford. We have both a Middle School group and Young Adult (high school/college) group.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild prepares the Table for the Lord's feast and cleans after conclusion of the service. Easter and Christmas are just two of the many occasions when their contributions "shine."
Chalice Bearers
Our Chalice Bearers assist the minister at the service and distribute the Sacred Cup of Salvation after the priest distributes the consecrated Bread of Life.
Custodians
As a small rural church we are fortunate to have two new paid Custodians, O'Brien and Heather Bradford.
St. Kitt's Guild
St. Kitt's Guild is the ladies guild of St. Christopher's church. It is an organization that is dedicated to the support of the church and the community. Funds are raised to purchase needed items for the church. Also to help pay the babysitter, and to purchase all of the kitchen and bathroom supplies. One third of the funds are used for outreach in the community. This outreach includes clothing for children in need at Griffin School, holiday food baskets for local families, and donations to Safeplace, The Food Bank, The Salvation Army, and Faith Homes for girls. Funds are raised by selling Steamboat Island sweatshirts, T-shirts, and hats. Also by working on wedding and funeral receptions. Occasionally the need arises for other fund raisers such as rummage sales and craft sales. Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month at 10:00 am at the church. Membership is open to all members of the church.
