AN ADVENT QUIET MORNING: MY SOUL CRIES OUT!
Saturday, November 30, 2019, 9:00 AM

Pastor Gae and Pastor Phyllis Meighen will lead our morning retreat as we begin Advent, a time to hope, dream, imagine and expect new beginnings within ourselves and our world. As our guide for this year’s Advent Retreat, we’ll be using the joy filled folk tune, The Canticle of the Turning. Begin this year’s Advent with time to meditate on the lyrics, pray, hear from scripture, and maybe create a poem, a song, a collage or a drawing of your own. 

Pastor Gae is a certified Spiritual Director in the Jungian tradition and a priest at Christ Memorial. Pastor Phyllis is a UCC minister and Interim Pastor at Lihue Christian. She is also the Director of Resource for Christian Spirituality, an ecumenical outreach ministry at St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church. 

Please make a reservation by emailing Pastor Gae at gdchalker@gmail.com​.

CHRIST MEMORIAL STEWARDSHIP TIME
November 10-24, 2019

Prayer:  

Magnificent Holy Father. 
I stand before you at this altar. So many have given you more.
I may not have much I can offer. Yet what I have is truly yours. 
This is my offering, dear Lord. 
This is my offering to You, God.

This year, Christ Memorial's stewardship drive takes place November 10-24, 2019.  Please consider making a pledge and completing a pledge offering card.  Completing the pledge offering card enables the treasurer and the Bishop’s Committee to create a budget for the church. To be part of the church collective means we all share in the cost of being a church. We want our church to have inspiring worship; pastoral care for those in need; beautiful church grounds; programs to learn and grow; and tools to reach out to those who are seeking a closer relationship with God.   Pledges may also be made online, and automatic payments set up through PayPal.  Visit the Radical Giving webpage HERE for more information.
