Friends,

Meet our youth team!

Meet Our Youth Team
This week we welcomed Erik Willits to the Christ Church family! Erik began his ministry to our Middle School students on Monday. I want to thank the staff and parents of Christ Church who have helped us through this summer of transition, as well as our middle and high school students who have enthusiastically welcomed our new ministers, Erik and Mike. The youth ministry is hosting a Fall Meet and Greet tomorrow (Wed, Oct 12) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Archgate Center youth café. It will be a fun night to meet our youth ministry staff, enjoy a hot dog or two, and spend time with the great families who make up our youth ministry! If you can’t make it Wednesday night, stop by Archgate Center any Sunday and introduce yourself to our new student ministers.

Rain
I was reminded today that we all experienced answered prayer this weekend. For several weeks in our services, we have prayed for rain. God faithfully answered those prayers this weekend. Let’s be thankful…and keep praying for more!

Dec 4: "Sacred Music in a Sacred Place"

Christmas Concert – Save the Date
Of course it’s still October, but you may want to save this date on your calendar: Sunday, Dec 4 at 7 p.m. That will be our annual Christmas concert, “Sacred Music in a Sacred Place”, with the Christ Church Singers and orchestra.  If you’ve ever attended one of our Christmas concerts, you know how special they are. This is a must for the Christmas season. Mark your calendar, and watch for more details in a few weeks.

The New Orphanage is Open!
One thing that I love about Christ Church is that our heart for children extends way beyond the city limits of Plano. This week, a team of four (Susan Kerr, Nozar Daryapayma, Dave Nelson and Vicki Robertson) represented Christ Church at the opening of the newest dormitory at Casa Hogares, the orphanage in Peru supported by Christ Church. Susan reported that the building is beautiful and the children can’t wait to move into their new home! A huge thank you goes out to those who have supported this ministry through their financial contributions as well as to many who have traveled to Peru to minister in person. View photo gallery below.

Speaking of Peru, we also have a group of men traveling to Lima this week to do construction work. Please be in prayer for them as they leave Saturday morning.

Have a blessed week,
Fr. Clint+
