What We Offer
All of the services listed offer Communion. We invite and encourage
all people to receive Communion with us.
Paid nursery attendants are available during services, and
for the education hour between services. Our nursery is located
in the
Parish Hall, which is accessed through the church entrance foyer.
Please ask a greeter to assist you in locating it.
Note: During the service, children have the option of attending
"Kingdom Adventure" during the adult sermon. At
"Kingdom Adventure", kids hear the day’s Gospel
story, sing songs, get to move around, and pray together. Children
return for the Communion portion of the regular service.
Sunday 1:00pm (Spanish) - This service, led by
a Spanish-speaking priest.
Healing Ministry Wednesdays at 12 noon
Christ Church offers a mid-week service of prayer for healing at
12 noon Wednesdays. Anointing with holy oil and laying-on-of-hands
form the basis of our prayers for physical, mental, and/or spiritual
health for ourselves, loved ones, the people of our parish, and
others. This healing ministry is also available in the home for
the sick and dying. Please contact the office at 770-447-1166 or office@ccnorcross.org for more information.
Worship
Ministries
For more information about, or to join, any of the following ministries,
please contact the office at 770-447-1166 or office@ccnorcross.org.
Acolytes: Our participatory
worship enables children to be of critical support in the conduct
of our services. Beginning at age 8, children can become "acolytes."
Younger kids serve as Gospel Book bearers and Torch bearers, while
older youth serve as Cross and Banner bearers. Acolytes are trained
quarterly, during which time they also enjoy fun and fellowship.
Altar Guild: Members
of the Guild prepare for each worship service, from Baptism to Communion,
from Weddings to Funerals. They are essential for the conduct of our
liturgies, especially during such special times as Holy Week, Easter,
and Christmas.
 
Art Ministry: Christ Church has one of the finest collections of Christian art prints
in the area, detailing the story of the Bible beautifully. Seasonally
appropriate art is displayed throughout our buildings.
Catechists: These mature
Christians assist priests in the preparation of adults for Baptism
by sharing their faith and studying the Bible with baptismal candidates.
Eucharistic Ministers: These are lay people authorized by the Bishop and trained by the parish
to administer the consecrated elements (bread and/or wine) at Communion.
At Christ Church, our Eucharistic Ministers also assist at Communion
by reading lessons and leading the recitation of the Nicene Creed.
Eucharistic Visitors: These are lay people authorized by the Bishop and trained by the Diocese
to take the consecrated elements (bread and wine) from Communion to
those who were unable to be present because of an illness or infirmity.
Music Ministry: Members
of the adult choir make up the bulk of our music ministers. The choir
leads congregational singing and provides special music at the 10am
service and all special events. Practices are on Wednesdays from 7:30pm
– 9pm and on Sundays between the services. New members are welcome
to join this (arguably) the most fun-loving group at Christ Church!
Contact the church office 770-447-1166 for information.
Additionally, we have numerous soloists and ensembles that offer
special music on a regular basis.
