The Chronicles of Christ Church

Easter 2012

A beautiful sunny morning greeted us as we gathered to worship this last Sunday. Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!

The congregation worshiped loudly, skillfully, and victoriously in the knowledge of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The sermon was entitled: Things Jesus Doesn't Need: grave-clothes, a tomb, a tomb-stone.

As is our tradition at Christ Church, rose champagne was uncorked festively for the Eucharist.

We ended the service by triumphantly singing Christ the Lord is Risen Today accompanied by the children's bell choir.

Palm Sunday 2012

We gathered for Palm Sunday worship this week and were reminded that as the king came humbly, seated on the colt of donkey, he will come again gloriously, seated on a white war horse at the end of this age. Palm branches are what one carries to greet a king in ancient Israel.

The choral anthem sung by the Christ Church Chamber Choir.

We painted a school today as participants in Make a Difference Day

River Rally 2011

This morning members of Christ Church participated in the River Rally Clean-up. Christ Church has done this for the last 6 years because we believe the church should be interested in the betterment of the environment in our community.

Five Years

This morning was the five year anniversary for Christ Church, Santa Clarita. We had a loud, fast-paced, and joyful worship service.

As part of our on-going reformation in worship we started kneeling during the Prayer of Confession this morning.

We also began singing the Psalms and the Sanctus after the Assurance of Pardon today.

Each year the Lord has added to our numbers and grown Christ Church.
