and to go make disciples of Jesus Christ."

Celebrate 80 years of ministry at Camp Wanake!  

Sept. 11-13 will be a wonderful time of celebration.  As you may recall, Wanake began as an E.U.B. camp. Countless children from Fairhope went to camp there, to meet Jesus there!  Maybe you were one of them? Celebrate this wonderful heritage!  Maybe just visit for a day (Saturday, Sept. 12), or even just a few hours.  Full details can be found at campwanake.org or by calling 330-756-2333.

This summer and fall, Rev. Dr. Dan Gildner, our new Associate Conference Superintendent, will visit each circuit across the Allegheny West Conference for a time of connection, worship and prayer. Gathering is open to everyone, providing an opportunity for churches to come together and a shared commitment to Christ’s mission. Meet our new Assoc. Conf. Superintendent, Rev. Dr. Dan Gildner. August 25 at 7 p.m. – Church of the Lakes, 5944 Fulton Drive NW, Canton, OH, 44718 .

Our church is collecting empty prescription and OTC bottles, through Matthew 25 Ministries. Deadline to bring bottles in is Sunday, August 16.  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.  Thank you to Rev. Jim George for informing us of this ministry. 

Our Men’s Gathering will meet the last Saturday of the month during the summer.  Our next meeting will be August 29.  We encourage all men of our congregation to join us for faith, fellowship and fun!  See you then!!

There will be a Nurturing and Outreach meeting after worship in the library this morning. 

Council Meeting - Weds., Aug 12, 7pm. All are welcome!
