Welcome to all.
The community called Christ Episcopal Church has gathered on the Guilford Green since 1744; and it is made new every time we meet together. Whoever you are and wherever you are on your spiritual journey, it’s an honor to worship with you. As a human being created in the image of God, you have something to teach this community about our Christian calling to love God and neighbor.
Your presence is a blessing.

Tuesday Zoom Study on the Psalms
Wholehearted Faith Study Series – Tuesdays, Sept. 29 – Nov. 17, 4:00 p.m. on Zoom
Anne Lamott famously wrote that “The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty.”
In this 8-week series, we will read Rachel Held Evan’s Wholehearted Faith and explore her
conviction that “faith teaches us to live without certainty and to hope without guarantee.” The series meets each Tuesday at 4pm. To be added to the email list for this series, please call the office or email [email protected].
Friday Bible Study: Bible study meets on Fridays from 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the Guild Room. This gathering is drop-in friendly. We read and reflect on the Gospel passage appointed for the following Sunday. (You can find the Guild Room by entering the main door to our Parish Hall, and then turning left by the kitchen.)
Music Meditation: Join us every Friday from 12-12:30 pm for a peaceful moment to quiet your mind and nourish your spirit with the delightful sounds of organ music skillfully played by Mark Sullivan.
Do you need Pastoral Care?
Pastoral Care is God’s love in action throughout our parish community. This ministry of caring is a central expression of how we support, listen, and provide companionship to one another during challenging times such as hospitalizations, the death of a loved one, loneliness, and any other spiritual dilemma. Any parishioner may call at any time, day or night. Call Christ Church’s office, (203) 453-2279. Outside of office hours, or if you cannot get through to the parish administrator, follow the instructions on the voicemail. For a non-urgent pastoral matter, you may email The Rev. Michael Sweeney at [email protected].
