Expansion Continues At Christ Community

Christ Community Church is still expanding. With two phases of the three phases in place, the Community gathers for worship each week even while the work continues. With over 65 worshippers in attendance, the southern Kentucky parish hosted Bishop Fick for an episcopal visit this past Sunday.

Ice Storms In Kentucky

The nation heard about the ice storms that ravaged the mid-south this week, but seeing it first hand is incredible.  While we post some "pretty" photos here, we drove through Danville, Kentucky and the scene looked like a virtual war zone.  Because of the curfew and other law enforcement restrictions, we did not dawdle, but the destruction was beyond belief. Our prayers attend those thousands who are still without power and still with much work to do before life once again returns to normal.

MSJ Kentucky Gathering

The Missionaries of St John, Kentucky, will gather in Liberty Friday through Sunday for a weekend of encouragement, work and worship.  Christ Community Church-Anglican will host the activities.

Guests in the Kentucky area are invited to participate.  Call 586-264-6044 details and further information.

Meanwhile - Building The Church - Literally

The building is going up!

After many years of worshiping in and outgrowing a borrowed space, Christ's Community Church -Anglican MSJ, Liberty, Kentucky is raising their new church building on their owned land. The members of the parish are talented craftsman, wood workers, steel fabricators and are making alive the words we pray in the Eucharistic Prayer.... "and here we offer and present unto Thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls, our bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto Thee;"

Confirmations In Kentucky

Yesterday, Christ Community Church-Anglican hosted Bishop Fick who administered the rite of Confirmation to four young people; Ethan Dunlap, Jessica Martin, Svetlana Dunlap and Joel Lemmon. Christ Community is nestled in the beautiful hills of southern Kentucky where music is played with skill and sung with heart and beauty. Father Bob Lemmon blogs his thoughts as an Anglican priest at Bread and Sawdust.
