Our mission is to create a community in which the joys and sorrows of life are honored and consecrated, so that no one walks alone at Christ Church. The Pastoral Care ministries, with more than 200 volunteers, reach out with God’s love to fellow parishioners experiencing trials, troubles and even just ordinary life to promote and facilitate a community in which the joys and sorrows of life are honored and consecrated. To learn more about our Pastoral Care offerings and how you can get involved or receive care, contact Margaret Quigley via mquigley@ccral.org.

Volunteer with Pastor’s Aide
Looking for a way to help serve Christ Church, but don’t have a lot of time to commit? Pastor’s Aide is perfect for you! One month each year, you’ll receive a list of people from the church who could really use a good comfort meal. You’ll come pick up homemade casseroles from the church’s freezer, and you can keep them in your freezer until you’re ready to deliver throughout the month. Recipients are always SO grateful, and you make their day with a quick 20-minute delivery. If you’d like more information about this ministry or to sign up, please e-mail Margaret Quigley via mquigley@ccral.org.
How Do Our Prayer Lists Work?
At Christ Church, it is part of our call and privilege to pray for people who request prayer support. We keep two lists.
*The Sunday Prayer List: We pray for the people on this list at our 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 5 p.m. Sunday services (10 a.m. & 5 p.m. in the summer), and also on our recorded service. Church members may request that they or their immediate family members with acute concerns be on this list.
*The Daily Prayer List: The Morning Prayer leaders and the Daughters of the King pray for the people on this list on a daily basis. This is a more private list. Only the clergy and the two daily prayer teams use and see it. When the list is read at public Morning Prayer services on Thursday mornings, only first names are used. Members may request that they or anyone they know be added to this list. Unless otherwise requested, we pray for these people for a period of one month.
To make a request for either prayer list, please contact Margaret Quigley via mquigley@ccral.org.
