Giving Thanks . . .

Members and Friends of Christ Church:


Thanksgiving begins a season of celebration with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. From Thanksgiving, through Advent and Christmas, to the New Year, we will spend time counting our blessings, expressing gratitude, and sharing God’s love.


Hence, we take this moment to express our thankfulness for you: for your faith, for your service and for your willingness to share your resources for the growth of God's kingdom. Your example gives us a great deal of excitement about Christ Church's future.


As November comes to an end, we write and ask those who made a 2025 pledge to take a look at where you are, and if needed "catch up" so you can fulfill your pledge by the end of the year. If you've already done this, thank you! If you need to look at where you are relative to your pledge amount, contact Cynthia Whitney, finance director, at cwhitney@christchurchfl.org.


We appreciate you, and your commitment to Christ Church and our Lord. As we look to the year’s end, if you can “go the extra mile” and contribute beyond your 2025 financial commitment this will help ensure we end the year in the black.


As we gather around the Thanksgiving table next week, let us give God thanks for the many ways in which we have been blessed. Give God thanks for the many ways in which God has led you through times of danger, discouragement, and disappointment this past year. Thank you, Lord; and thank each of you for being such a vital part of our community. God's grace and peace to you,
