What mission means to us
The 2011 mission trip to New Orleans involved 22 parishioners, about 15% of our average Sunday crowd -- plus their families and the many parishioners who supported them. It was truly a parish effort that resulted in the completion or near completion of three homes.
Each home had a unique story: one woman's son was murdered while trying to restore her home after Hurricane Katrina. Another was repeatedly ripped off by contractors and her own daughter.
When Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations," he was not talking about the people we already know and are comfortable with. We saw some gritty and wordly places in New Orleans, but also simple joy and neighborliness. We were blessed to be able to serve our neighbors.

Telling our faith stories
Everyone sitting in a pew has a story to tell. Their faith story. What drew them to Christ Church, why they stayed, what they treasure about their faith family. For our 2011-12 stewardship campaign we interviewed a diverse group of parishioners and asked them what was special about Christ Church.
