Did you know that a small group of folks has been meeting at Christ Church at least one night a month for the past several months to make plans for a BIG December event? No, it’s not Santa and his elves getting ready for Christmas. Actually it’s the members of the Holly Ball Committee, under the guidance of committee chairs Beth McLean and Trevor Mills.

By now you’ve all received your “save the date” cards for this December 13 gala event. The Holly Ball is a holiday tradition at Christ Church, and this year’s honorary chairpersons are two well-known figures here: Rick and Sue Boody. This is an evening of dinner and dancing, and a time for all members of Christ Church to celebrate the holidays in style.

Invitations will be mailed out later this month. We’ll also be publishing a memorial journal which is our way of raising funds through advertisements from local merchants in the area. Parishioners and friends of the parish will also have a chance to place their ads, perhaps to send holiday wishes or perhaps, to publish their congratulatory messages to Sue and Rick.

We need your help and support - whether it’s buying a ticket to this event, taking an ad, or asking one of the local merchants with whom you do business every day to participate in the journal. Ad solicitation letters can be found at the back of the church, in the guild room or in the parish office.

Please be sure to mark your calendar now and plan to join to be a part of the holiday fun.
