God of healing and hope, in Jesus you meet us in our places of pain and fear. Look with mercy on those who have contracted the new virus, on any who are vulnerable, and on all who feel in danger. Through this time of global concern, by your Holy Spirit bring out the best not the worst in us. Make us more aware of our interdependence on each other, and of the strength that comes from being one body in you. Through Christ our wounded healer. Amen.
(The Reverend Dr Sam Wells; St Martin-in-the-Fields, London)
This beautiful church stands at the heart of a caring community of faith. Since 1705, the young, the old, the spiritually hungry, and those seeking fulfillment have come here to bring their lives to the altar of God. We invite you to enter the historic doors of Christ Church and join with those who seek a closer relationship with God. Jesus calls us: “Come through these doors and find rest for your souls.” We hope that you will come, hear beautiful music, challenging sermons, and discover this special community where there is a place for you. Thank you for your visit to this site.
We hope to see you sometime soon.
