ROWLEY ANNIVERSARY: Following worship on Sunday, we’ll have an
opportunity to celebrate Steve and Beth’s 25th wedding anniversary with
cake and other refreshments. Please join us.
OUTREACH MINISTRY OFFERING: The OMO for July and August will go to the
establishment of a Social Action discretionary fund. The past few years,
natural disasters, sudden human-caused catastrophes, and a number of
more localized emergencies have occurred and demanded our attention. The
Social Action Committee would like to build a fund that allows Christ
Congregation to respond to these occurrences. Of course, the BP oil
spill is on our minds this year, and we will likely look into partnering
with organizations we have worked with in the past to help address the
needs as they continue to arise (for example, the Back Bay Mission
project we supported some years back in the aftermath of Katrina).
FROM JUDY: The camp where I work, and Julia attends, is looking for a
bone marrow match for a four year old — her name is Charlotte. There are
no matches for her within her family nor on the National Registry,
probably because she is part Armenian. If you would like to become a
bone marrow donor, the process involves only a consent form and a cheek
swab test, and then volunteers are added to the national registry, not
just for Charlotte. The camp will also be holding a walk-a-thon to
raise money since it costs about $90 per donor to process and maintain
the National Bone Marrow Donor Program Registry. If you are willing to
be tested, please call 215-752-1987 to set up an appointment. If you
would like to contribute money, please email judy.hodges@yahoo.com.
CHILD SPONSOR: CC helps support a student who lives in Togo through a
support organization called Plan-USA. Here is a recent photo we received
from our student, Magnoudewa, with her mother and brother.
LOST AND
FOUND: A digital camera was found at the church, see Pastor Jeff for
more info.
UPCOMING BOOK CLUB DATES:
"The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery.
The book club will meet on Sept 18, 7:00 pm at Sally Zarnstorff's home.
"The Roman Empire and the New Testament" by Warren Carter.
We will meet on Oct 23, 7:00 pm at the Sundeen's.
A DAILY REFLECTION:
In God's loving presence I unwind the past day,
starting from now and looking back, moment by moment.
I gather in all the goodness and light, in gratitude.
I attend to the shadows and what they say to me, seeking healing,
courage, forgiveness.

Anthony writes:
Warmest greetings to all of you
at Christ Congregation!
My name is
Anthony Livolsi and I have the good fortune to serve alongside you all
in
ministry as a seminarian-in-residence. I am — and this assumes my math
is
correct! — exactly halfway through the M.Div program at Princeton
Seminary and
loving every minute of it. Born in Jersey but bred in Phoenix, being
back East
feels like a homecoming of sorts; I'll take the romance of a snowstorm
over
dusty, desert monsoons any day! When I'm not reading for class, you can
likely
find me… reading for leisure. (Sickening, I know.) I also enjoy distance
running, people-watching at Small World Coffee, and most baked goods.
I
look
forward to meeting you all personally in the days ahead!
