CHRIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Serving East Hampton, Middle Haddam and surrounding communities.
WELCOME, WE'RE SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
We love making new friends!
SUNDAY MORNING HOLY EUCHARIST
As a Christian community, we find our center in our Sunday worship, which we call Holy Eucharist. We believe that Jesus is truly present with us as we follow his command to share bread and wine. In the eucharist, we find a connection with God and with the community which empowers us to serve God in whatever way we are called. We welcome all people to God's table.
WORSHIP WITH CHILDREN & YOUTH
Our youngest members gather first in the Parish Hall each Sunday morning for worship. This is followed by a creative and engaging biblically based lesson using art, drama and conversation. They join their families in the church at “The Peace,” and they eagerly share with the congregation what they have learned that morning. All ages participate in Holy Communion.
HEALING SERVICES
We offer prayers for healing with the laying on of hands and anointing with holy oil during the service on the third Sunday of every month. Anyone may come to the altar rail and request prayer from the priest for a specific need or for a general prayer, either for themselves or for another. This is a special time of prayer when many have found peace and healing.
WEDDINGS
Congratulations on your commitment to enter into Holy Matrimony! We at Christ Church are delighted to share in this time of celebration in your life. If you are interested in having your ceremony at Christ Church, we welcome the opportunity to work with you to ensure that your wedding
is a sacrament that publicly celebrates your loving commitment and God’s blessing on your relationship.
BAPTISMS
Holy Baptism is a sacrament through which new members are made part of Christ’s Body, the Christian Church, and adopted as Christ’s own, forever. The outward and visible sign in baptism is water. The inward and spiritual grace is the person’s unity with Christ, being birthed into God’s household, received the forgiveness of sins and new life in the Holy Spirit.
