POMFRET — Christ Church Pomfret invites all in the community to join in the excitement of Come, See Sunday at 10 a.m. Sept. 8.
To celebrate the unofficial end of summer and the beginning of the program year—which includes off-site work in the Quiet Corner—the parish will host a Ministry Fair with a festival breakfast in the church’s Great Hall following the 10 a.m. Eucharist service.
“This is an opportunity for us to open our doors to the community to introduce ourselves and what we do here—not just on Sundays but throughout the year,” said Reverend Sandra L. Cosman, Priest-In-Charge of the parish. “Volunteering in one of our ministries is a way to be involved in the greater community as well as to develop meaningful relationships,” she continues.
Tables staffed by parishioners with clipboards will compete for visitors and recruits with tempting breakfast offerings ranging from donuts to deviled eggs to fresh fruit to gluten-free breakfast bars. “The fun we had participating in events here at the church was the reason my family and I decided to become members,” said Gregory Hesler, Senior Warden of the parish. Opportunities range from the occasional reading of scripture on Sunday morning to being part of a team hosting coffee hour once a month to volunteering in a youth classroom weekly to staffing food collections for TEEG once a month of volunteering for one of TEEG’s many programs. The breath of activities at Christ Church are briefly described on the church’s new website, https://www.christchurchpomfret.org/services-4.
The church is at 527 Pomfret St., Rt. 169, across from the Rectory School. An 8:00 a.m. traditional Eucharist service is also offered during the program year, Labor Day to Father’s Day.
