Emergency Fuel Fund Appeal, September 18 and 25
It comes as no surprise to anyone that the price of fuel
oil has skyrocketed in the past months. The vestry is struggling
with how to creatively manage our costs and still stay warm.
This task will be especially diffiult for individuals on fixed
incomes and others in our community who depend upon Federal
and State help to make ends meet. Christ Church administers
the Montpelier Interfaith Council’s Emergency Fuel Fund
for all the Churches and the Synagogue in our community. We
haven’t put out an appeal for funds in three years, but
in anticipation of a greater need we feel it is prudent to
ask for help.
Other Churches and the Synagogue are also collecting funds
as is the City of Montpelier. If you can help, please use the
envelope you will
find in your Sunday Bulletin on September 18 and 25. Thank
you for your help.

Church School News
The fall season is fast approaching and a new Church School
session is about to begin. I hope everyone had a fun and
restful summer. Now, it’s time to come together again
as community and rediscover together God’s heart and
desires.
We will have four classes beginning September
11. Amelia Wilcox will lead the intermediate class, for children
in fifth grade and up. Corrie Wilcox will lead the primary class,
for children first through fourth grade. Either Elizabeth Wilcox
or another willing volunteer will lead the preschool group.
I need volunteers for the pre-school and nursery and ask for
your help.
Hopefully, teachers will only be asked to
lead a six to eight week session at a time. Again, volunteers
will be needed to fill in these positions at a later date.
I am also determined to get a consistent
youth group going throughout the year. Please contact me if
you are willing to make an ongoing commitment with me to see
this happen. My desire is to get a clear line of communication
with all the families involved with the youth ministry so that
this young community of Christians will grow stronger together
in faith, love and service to others. I thank you all for your
encouragement and help!
Peace to all, —Elizabeth
Wilcox

Children’s Choir News
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
The youth of Christ Church are invited
to make some joyful music with the Junior Choir this year starting
Sunday, September 11.
Rehearsals are generally the 2nd,
3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of each month from 11:30 to 12:15, with
the Junior Choir singing at the service on the 1st Sunday of
each month at the 10:00 service. (This schedule is, as always,
subject to change depending on holidays, school vacations, and
whatever illnesses the kids bring home from school!)
No prior
experience is necessary, just a love of music and a willingness
to share that with others. Please call Dawn Fairbanks, Junior
Choir director, with any questions: 223-0544.
See you at rehearsal!
