Children’s Ministry at Christ Church
At Christ Church, we believe that all the people of God are worth celebrating! One of the ways that we celebrate children in particular is through sharing with them the stories and ideas of our faith. Just about every Sunday from September through June the children gather at 10:00 am and hear stories of faith, share a feast, and learn through play together. It’s a wonderful time of companionship, learning and growing together in faith. Everyone is always welcome to come and join us, and if you have particular questions, you can call or email us.
Another way that we celebrate our young people is through special events through the year. Sometimes we have special outings together, and other times we have events here at the church and hall. If you would like to know more about these events as they come up, you can watch our Facebook page, or email us at the office (office@christchurchamherstns.ca). We have an occasional email newsletter to help let people know what’s going on. You can sign up for this at the back of the church tonight or email the office to be added to the list.
We are part of the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and our diocese has lots of resources for talking about faith with young people. If you’re interested in learning more about these resources, or the projects and events that are going on across the diocese, you can visit sharenspei.ca
Women’s Ministry at Christ Church
St. Monica’s is a group of active women who meet together for service and fellowship. They uphold and enhance the ministry of Christ Church in many ways, from preparing food to organizing the Bazaar and everything in between! They meet on the third Sunday of the month, after the 11:00 service. Through their activities they raise money for the church, for the community and other charitable organizations, and they have fun and fellowship together. If you’re interested in joining this active group, please call the office (902-667-2415).
St. Martha’s is a group of senior ladies of Christ Church. They meet nine times a year, and focus on Faith, Fellowship, Fun and Tea, Current Projects, Baptism and Bibles for Sunday School. If you’re interested in joining this dynamic group, please call the church office.
Men’s Ministry at Christ Church
Christ Church Men’s Club is a fun loving group of men who believe in having a good time through service. They often cater turkey suppers in our parish hall, and gales of laughter can be heard throughout the building as they chop turnips and mash potatoes together. All men are very welcome to join this exciting group – just call the church office for more information.
Choir
Christ Church has a small, but very dedicated choir, thanks in no small part due to our talented organist, Stephanie Mizuik. Choir meets for one hour every Thursday from 6:30-7:00 p.m. The ability to read music is not a requirement but, if you love to sing, come check us out.
Other Ministry at Christ Church
At Christ Church we believe that all God’s people should live out their true identity. We are proud to be supporters of UBU Amherst, a support group for transgender people and their families. If you need more information about this, please email Rev. Will
