guest preacher series resumes

Reviving a custom from the 1990s, Christ Church will invite a great preacher from the wider church to visit us this summer to offer a public lecture on Saturday evening and preach at services on Sunday morning.

On July 31-August 1 this year we will welcome the Rev. Dr. William H. Willimon, presently United Methodist Bishop of Northern Alabama, one of the best known and influential preachers of our time. Before becoming a bishop in 2004, Dr. Willimon served for twenty years as Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christian Ministry at Duke University in Durham, NC.
Bishop William H. Willimon will speak in Christ Church at 7pm on Saturday, July 31, followed by a reception.  He will preach on Sunday morning, August 1, at both the 8am and 10am celebrations of the Eucharist.  Members of the community are invited to join us both on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

music sunday

In 2004, we had our first "Music Sunday" and we will continue this tradition with a performance of J. S. Bach's Cantata No. 82 on Sunday, August 8 at the 10:00 a.m. service. The cantata, which is scored for voice and chamber orchestra, will feature local baritone Scott MacCracken, an AMFS student string quartet, and Jamie Roberts on oboe.  (Jamie performed as part of "Music Sunday" last year.) 

faith and film

The popular “Faith and Film” series begins its second season at Christ Church on Wednesday, June 16, at 6pm with a showing of The Blind Side, followed by a group discussion.  $5 for movie and a slice of pizza.  Call the parish office for reservations: 925-3278 or email kelly@christchurchaspen.org.

Future “Faith and Film” evenings will be July 7 (“Something the Lord Made”), July 21 ("I am Sam"), August 4 ("The Iron Giant") , August 18 ("Good Will Hunting") , September 1 (TBA), and September 15 (TBA).
