We very much welcome you to join us and participate in our ongoing and once-a-year events.

Chancel Drama

Christ Church encourages congregational participation and the creative interpretation of our spirituality. One of the dynamic ways we express and nurture our faith is with our monthly Chancel Drama. The plays are dramatic, comedic, whimsical and provocative but always reflective of that Sunday's scriptural readings. Over the eight years of presentations, roughly a third of our adults and children have participated.

In chancel dramas this year we experienced the anguish of Woodrow Wilson's lost chance for world peace, the hope of Martin Luther King's dream, the plight of the women who witnessed the empty tomb, the humor that the blind see more than the sighted...among other stories.

Steel Passion Steel Drum Band

The steel drum band of Christ Church play in the "island" style of the Caribbean but range from calypso to pop and from jazz to classical. Steel Passion play at various parish events as well as professional gigs at restaurants and other venues.

Chili Cook-off

Begun more than a quarter century ago by exiles from the Republic of Texas, the cookoff brings the parish and friends to give bragging rights for the year's best bowl of chili. Proceeds go not only to the parish but to help others world wide.

Christian Education for Adults

Challenges in life and in faith are easiest to overcome together. Between the services, at 9:00 a.m., adults gather to read, discuss and share insights about the Bible passages that are featured in the day's worship service.

Altar Guild and Flower Guild

Our worship depends on preparation of the necessary cups, plates and linens. The Altar Guild that "sets the table" week in and week out, as well as adorning the church with flowers and special displays for Christmas, Easter and other high holy days.

Choir

The choir leads our parish in song as well as performing more challenging solos during the service and special programs on Christmas, Easter and other major festivals.
