20 and 30 something

People sometimes refer to the amorphous group of twenty- and thirty-somethings as members of the “lost decade.” They don’t fit easily into categories: some work, others study; some are married, others single; some have kids, others cower in the presence of children. So, usually, churches let these folks do their thing until they get older and become more categorizable. 

Christ Church wants to buck that trend.  We’ve started an informal group of grad students, young professionals, young not-so-professionals, singles, and marrieds for social and service events as well as bible studies.

If you’d like to be included on the email list to receive social or service event invitations or find out more, please email:

  • "Of the Father's Love Begotten"

    He is found in human fashion, Death and sorrow here to know, That the race of Adam's children Doomed by law to endless woe, May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below, Evermore and evermore! O that birth forever blessed, When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Savior of our race; And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face, Evermore and evermore!

The Word

When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (Titus 3:4-7)

The Prayer

O God, you make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only Son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold him when he comes to be our Judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 212)
