The Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

On November 16th, we will be holding a Parish Clean-up Day. Father Blackburn will cook breakfast for everyone, and we will set to work at 9:00 a.m. There is much that we need to do to help us prepare for Advent and Christmas. If you know of something specific that you’d like to help with, please let the Wardens know.

We will holding our Thanksgiving Service at 10:00 a.m. on November 28th. This will be a brief, spoken service, lasting no more than 40 minutes. Come and join in giving thanks to God for “all the blessings of this life.” Invite your friends and family as well.

Dear friends of St. Christopher’s, Stewardship Season is quickly approaching and we are thankful for your support of our parish ministry. Please be in prayer about how you will be able to support St. Christopher’s financially this next year. More information on how to pledge for 2025 will be available in the coming weeks.

Christian Formation will resume next week, and we are continuing our study of The Apocalypse. We have finished the Seven Letters, which opens the Book, and are now in the midst into the Vision associated with the book of Revelation. This would be a perfect time to jump onboard if you want to join us for the study of The Revelation of Saint John.

Have you ever wondered what the word Gospel truly means? It is a word we use often, but sometimes don’t understand what it means. Join us for our Wednesday Night Forum as we start a new book: Arise, O God: The Gospel of Christ’s Defeat of Demons, Sin, and Death, written by Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick, an Orthodox Priest from Pennsylvania. We have a few books available, but can order more also. If you would like to join us, please let Father Blackburn know, and he will get you a book.

We are pleased to share that the St. Christopher’s Podcast has a reached a new milestone of 9,917 listens! This is an amazing achievement, especially for a small parish. Would you help us increase our reach even more by listening to our podcast and leave a positive rating? We would love to hit 10,000 listens in the coming weeks! You can find our podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts (click the links to find the show). Thank you as always for your faithful support of our parish spreading the good news and love of Christ to our community and beyond.
