The Chronicles of Christ Church

Our First Wedding

This summer will see a series of weddings at Christ Church but yesterday was a first for our church. On a blazing Southern California evening, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Parsons were joined in holy matrimony.

The reception was hot but joyful.

The kids had a great time dancing it up on the dance floor.

Important Announcement

We will be moving to Peachland Elementary School (24800 Peachland Avenue, Newhall, CA 91321) beginning this Sunday (June 22).

New Facility

We are looking at the possibility of sharing facilities with another church. Here is a view of the church from the outside. It contains a sanctuary, classrooms, nurseries, and offices.

The sanctuary normally seats about 200 but can accomodate many more. Here is a view of the left side and right side and the audio/visual station in the back.

Restrooms and foyer.

A youth room.

There are 4 classrooms and 2 nursery rooms.

Ordinations

Ordination is a rite administered by the laying on of hands by elders to a church office. On Sunday, April 20, 2008, this was performed on Mr. Andrew Richardson (Ruling Elder) and Mr. Tate Anderson (Deacon). In addition to Pastor Craw and Elder Robertson, two other elders assisted with this duty.

The elders laid hands on Mr. Richardson to set him apart for the office of Ruling Elder.

Since Elder Richardson is also a seminary student and pastoral intern and can now administer sacraments, he was given a seminarian's stole to wear over his robe.

Elder Richardson then assisted the other elders in the ordination of Mr. Tate Anderson as a deacon.
