UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS
Get ready families! Our 3rd Annual Parish Chili Cook-Off will be held on Wednesday, January 29, from 6–8 p.m. in the Parish Hall. This event is being sponsored by the youth group and the cost is free, but voting will be by the chili that receives the most money in the voting jar. Proceeds will be donated to Rare Breed and to help the youth scholarship fund. If you would like to enter your winning chili recipe or have any questions, please contact Aubrey Smith at youth@christepiscopalchurch.com.
WORSHIP SERVICES
SUNDAYS
During the church year, we offer several Christian education programs beginning at 9 a.m. The adults may attend the Adult Forum, where we discuss Christian history, watch documentaries, and read and discuss books.
The children and youth may attend Sunday School where we engage in educational activities, crafts, discussion, service projects, and storytelling.
Please note that the schedules for Christian education change depending on the time of year and availability. Be sure to visit our homepage, and look for our eblasts, newsletters, and social media posts for the most up-to-date information. If you have questions, please contact the church office at (417) 866-5133.
After each Sunday service, join us for fellowship in the Parish Hall, where coffee and donuts are available.
THURSDAYS
Thursday evening Holy Eucharist is a half-hour long, and includes a short homily and Holy Communion. On the last Thursday of the month, a healing service is included in the liturgy. Healing or Unction is a sacramental rite of the Church and is an opportunity to pray for your own healing or that of others or both and to receive anointing with the Oil of Unction.

RECURRING ACTIVITIES
Beginning on January 19, we will hold a series of Anglican Identity classes for those who are new to the Episcopal Church and for the long-term members who would like a refresher course in the church’s teaching. This series will also serve as preparation for those who wish to make a “mature public affirmation” of their Baptismal faith through confirmation or reception.
Episcopal Campus Ministry (ECM) strives to offer deeper experiences in the faith journeys of college students through worship, fellowship, and vocational discernment. ECM is a lively place for mentoring the Christian formation of both seekers and those who grew up in Episcopal churches. At weekly ECM meetings, students are recognized, challenged, supported, inspired and engaged in honest dialogue around their faith in order to foster their potential. We provide a culture where students can imagine and explore new possibilities for ministry. These imagined possibilities are necessary for the continued vitality of the church and for God’s mission in the world. Through campus ministry, we equip students with the tools for facing the tough ethical, moral, religious, relational and ecological challenges of a complex world.
The youth program at Christ Church is very active within the parish and the diocese as a whole. With annual camps, outreach involvement, and spiritual activities, the youth are able to show and spread the love of Jesus throughout the community. During the school year, Youth Group meets every Sunday at 9 a.m. for Sunday School, and every Wednesday night starting at 6:00 p.m. There is also a wide range of summer fun activities throughout the summer.
