Chuck Rush’s Pastor Parish Committee will be meeting with him within the next several weeks. The purpose of the Pastor Parish Committee is to support and maintain an open and healthy relationship between our pastor and the members of the congregation. The committee serves in two primary ways: as an advisory group to the minister and as support for his leadership. As an advisory group, the committee shares ideas, hopes, expectations and concerns of the congregation with the pastor. As support for the pastor, the committee interprets roles, functions, expectations and needs of the pastor to the congregation. With this purpose in mind, please feel free to make known to any members of the committee topics which you would like discussed. The committee members are Deb Previdi, Jane Johanson, Michael Mooney, Charles Tsiang, John Vigilante, and Cary Hardy, Chair.

All Girls Youth Group will be meeting on Sunday evening, March 16 from 5-7 pm at 48 Blackburn Place, the DeSanto residence.

Many thanks to all the youth and parents who participated in the assembly of Caregiver Kits on February 24: We assembled 150 kits that will be delivered by World Vision to medical relief workers in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America. These kits make a dramatic difference in the quality and longevity of life for persons living with AIDS, and we celebrate the opportunity to contribute !Many, many thanks to Joe Salisbury for his help and contribution!

Do you get email from Christ Church? We maintain a congregation email list at Christ Church which is used by staff to send out 2-3 emails a week, typically, containing breaking news, schedule changes, plans for the upcoming weekend, and requests for volunteer help. If you thought you were on this list but haven’t received email lately, chances are your email software (Outlook or Outlook express, for example) or your ISP (Verizon, Comcast, AOL…) is blocking spam more vigorously than before and has begun blocking this email. We can help !Our Information Technology (IT) Committee can help you adjust spam-blocking filters. Just ask Chuck, Julie, or Paul at coffee hour, or drop an email to staff@ccsnj.org or itcom@ccsnj.org. If you’ve never been on the congregation email list, we’d love to add you – please let us know. By the way, we also have a Prayer email list that is an extension of the prayer concerns portion of Sunday worship, and everyone is welcome to join that list, as well.
