On Sunday, October 25, our St. Christopher’s Episcopal Parish joyfully celebrated the First Communion of 23 children, accompanied by their families and our community of faith.
This meaningful celebration marked the culmination of a journey of preparation, learning, and spiritual growth. We thank the families, teachers, support team, and everyone who helped make this day a special occasion. May God continue to guide our new communicants and strengthen their faith.
Moving from Individual Faith to Shared Mission
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” — 1 Peter 4:10. During October, the Evangelism and Stewardship Committee has prepared activities to help our parish work together and continue being a committed, welcoming community. Our call invites us to take God’s love, mutual care, welcome, and service beyond the parish walls. Evangelism means sharing authentically where we see God at work; stewardship means faithfully using our time, relationships, skills, spaces, and resources in a shared mission.
Evangelism and stewardship find meaningful expression when our faith becomes shared action. Every individual act of service matters, but working together allows us to strengthen our community presence and extend Christ's love beyond our parish doors.
As next steps, we propose strengthening partnerships with community organizations, practicing more active and welcoming hospitality, and inviting our members to contribute not only financially but also through their time, talents, and service.
Together, we hope to discern one strength of our parish that can respond to a need in our surrounding community and identify an achievable community project within the next six months.
To support this commitment, three action circles are proposed: Welcome & Outreach, Community Service, and Resource Stewardship.
This proposal invites us to bring together our gifts, talents, and resources as we discern how to better serve our community and make our faith visible through meaningful action.

Our community came together for a day of sports, fellowship, and joyful time together.
