Holy God who calls the world into being, who calls us into Christ’s church; we thank you for the church that is our heart, for the mission of the church that is our joy, and for the ministry of the church that is our task. We thank you for the generosity of Christ Church, Ridley Park, for its steadfastness over time, for its faithful witness, wholehearted life, and its abundant caring ways. Make us courageous, make us ready, make us open, that we may become a resounding Alleluia through your passion and into your victory. We pray in the name of Jesus crucified and risen, wholehearted Shepherd of the Church. Amen.

Donate to Christ Church in support of the life, ministry, and witness of Jesus Christ. Contribute online to a particular collection or make a one-time donation under “non-pledge”.

Money is a lifeless substance, but without it, life as we know it isn’t possible. It takes funding to offer worship, fellowship, maintain buildings, care for one another. One of the steadfast ways that we offer gratefulness to God is through a pledge commitment.

Sponsor altar flowers to beautify the sanctuary with creations from God. Altar flowers are often shared “in memory of” or “in honor” of someone special and can be displayed the Sunday around a meaningful date. Information of sponsored flowers will be included in the worship bulletin.

Weekly Prayer Rhythm

Brendan Murphy on February 26, 2024

Prayer needs to be the center of any faith’s communities life. Our Anglican Tradition understood that each parish church was a mini monastery praying for the community and each other. Unfortunately, over the years this structure of prayer has declined in most parishes. While the Sunday Eucharist should be the focus of the parish’s weekly prayer life it is not enough to sustain us in our faith. Soon, Christ Church will be introducing a weekday Eucharist for those who cannot make Sunday, or just to take a pause in your week for prayer. It will be simple, and we will reflect on a feast day or life of a saint. Fr. Michael would love to hear your input on what days and times would work best for you.

Beginning March 11th, we will also be adding Morning Prayer at 8:30 AM and Evening Prayer at 7 PM via Facebook Live which can be viewed on our website as well. These prayers will be a short prayer of the day which will last 10 to 15 minutes. It will include a psalm, scripture reading, and intercessions for those in need. The great thing is you will not even have to leave the comfort of your home. Once they are prayed live you can watch them at any time during the day. Do not worry there will be a class on how to pray the Daily Office (March 10th!) and all you need is a Book of Common Prayer.
