TIME CHANGE

This is a reminder that the clocks go back one hour on Sunday morning at 2:00 AM. Don’t forget to change your clocks so you don’t miss church!

ALL SAINTS DAY – NOVEMBER 5th

On Sunday, November 5th we will be remembering those we have lost in the past year by lighting a candle for each. Following the service there will be the monthly celebration of holy communion which will be conducted by Cindy Campbell in her new position as an ordained local minister.

This will also be our monthly luncheon which people are asked to sign up to give us an idea of numbers, by emailing David Thompson at    

BIBLE STUDY/DISCUSSION GROUP

The bible study group will continue every Tuesday evening at 7:30. Meet at Thorburn Hall and the location will be decided based on numbers.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR CHURCH FAIR

SILENT AUCTION

We are still looking for some great prizes for our silent auction. It doesn’t have to be an expensive item and in fact, fun and unique works very well. The auction tends to be the big money earner but it’s also a fun part of the fair and we like to have a variety of items so that everyone can take part.  If you have anything that you would like to donate, please contact Sandra at the office at or call 236-1882. Only new items will be accepted.

BLUE RAIN JACKET LEFT BEHIND

If you are missing a blue rain jacket, one was found in the church and is in the vestry if you would like to collect it.

SUNDAY WORSHIP

Sunday worship will continue to be held at 10 am. The Order of Service can be viewed in advance on the website on the home page www.christchurch.bm

If you know of someone that may have difficulty getting to church, please reach out to them and offer a ride.  This past year of isolation has been very difficult and we can all make a difference by assisting those who need help to get to church.

 

WE CARE

If you are struggling and need to talk, we are here for you. If you are ill or bereaving a loved one, we are here for you. Alistair is just a phone call away 236-0400 or email him at He is here to assist anyone in need, or you can call the Church Office 236-1882. There may be times when you need your community around you, and this is a reminder that this is what Christ Church is all about.
