ALTAR FLOWERS FOR JUNE 26, 2016
The altar flowers for June 26, 2016, are given to the glory of God
by Fran and Diane Lynch in celebration of their 28th wedding
anniversary and in thanksgiving for Fran on the occasion of his
birthday on June 27th; and by Walt Thompson and Betsy Pickren
in celebration of their 32nd wedding anniversary on June 30th.
SUMMER CHURCH FOR CHILDREN
Children’s Chapel is on Summer break, so during
the 10:30 worship we invite children to sit up front,
on quilts near the altar, so they can see what’s
happening! Busy bags are also available. Children
up to 6 years of age may go to the nursery if they
would prefer, while older kids and youth can help in
worship as readers, ushers, acolytes, or greeters.
Please contact The Rev. Jody Greenwood at [email protected] if
your child is interested in helping.
OUTREACH—IDEATION CONVERSATION
JUNE 26TH & JULY 10TH
Many of you were here in May when Ceci delivered an inspired
sermon about the findings from the parish-wide discernment.
We learned that, when asked what you want Christ Church to be
known for by non-parishioners in our community, the over-
whelming response was Outreach. What’s more, many of you
have added your name to the list of those interested in talking
more about what this might look like.
To that end, The Rev. Jody Greenwood and vestry member Natalie Leff invite
you to be part of the Ideation Conversations that will held on June 26th and July
10th at 9:15am. Come to one or both, and be part of the dialog! Our main goal
is to hear from you! We will also let you know about some outreach opportu-
nities already at hand, and envision others for the future. It is up to us to be the
hands and feet of Christ in the world, loving like Jesus and serving others. We
hope you can join in the conversation!

MISSION OF MERCY OFFERING FOR EMMAUS HOUSE
SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2016
Emmaus House is a non-profit Episcopal Community Center, located in
Peoplestown (central Atlanta), serving those in need in Atlanta and beyond.
Emmaus House, founded in 1967, seeks to diminish poverty and its broader
consequences by strengthening individuals, families, and communities through
education, assistance, and social action. Emmaus House offers a wealth of
services from prison ministries to children's and senior citizen programs, arts
programs, gardening projects, and poverty rights programs.
In the Summer, Emmaus House offers Camp Summer Hope, a seven-week day
camp for 120 elementary children. As most people know, camp is a wonderful
time for children to learn, play, and have a place where people nurture and care
for the children. On Saturdays during the school year, they offer art classes for
children, so children can learn to explore their creative side.
Sunday mornings, Emmaus House offers Sunday School for children and
adults, with the service held in the Chapel at Emmaus House. Emmaus House
offers guidance for those people searching for assistance with obtaining food,
housing, job application, health/medical care, utilities, and applications for
government assistance.
EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY CLASSES FOR 2016-2017
Every baptized person is called to ministry. The
Education for Ministry (EfM) program, an extension
of the School of Theology at the University of the
South, Sewanee, TN, provides people with the
education to carry out that ministry and the opportunity to discover how to
respond to the call to Christian service. This is an exciting four-year course
which explores the scriptures as well as church history, ethics, and theology.
EfM runs for 34 sessions each year, from September through May and meets
on Monday evenings at 6:30pm in the office conference room. For more
information, please contact Dianne Olson at 770/851-2472 or
[email protected], or Ellen Lewis at 678/546-0844 or

NEW AMERICAN PATHWAYS REFUGEE FAMILY
Did you know this is World Refugee Week? The number of people displaced from their
homes by war and persecution hit a record-breaking 65.3 million people by the end of
2015, the UN said today in a report released to mark World Refugee Day(June 20 th).
We are working with New American Pathways to assist a refugee family get
settled here in Atlanta. We are expecting to be assigned a family of 3 to 4 people
sometime in July. I will have a sign up list in the parish hall this Sunday if you are
interested in donating a particulate item. In addition to the requested household items,
we will need to have a number of people help to transport the items and set up the
apartment. The biggest issue with this part of the project is that we may only get 4 to 5
days notice on when a family will be arriving. If you have any suggestions, please con-
tact Beth Jonsson at [email protected]. If you are interested in read-
ing more about World Refugee Week please click on the following link: http://
