Worship & Events
Christ Episcopal Church has a long-standing reputation for being the Peanut Butter Promoter in our area! Every year peanut butter is collected for Helping Hands, a local organization through the Presbyterian Church in Mexia. They collect a variety of items to deliver to local residents who are mostly homebound. This helps get them through the colder months. So, bring some peanut butter and place it in front of the Altar to watch our contribution grow.
The Women of Faith in Limestone County will share in devotion and prayer on Thursday, November 7, at 12 noon. This month's meal will be provided by St. Mary's Catholic Church, 604 N Bonham St, Mexia. Please join us.
This is the Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, and we will celebrate with Morning Prayer. Join us at 10:30 am. All are welcome!

Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost November 10, 2024
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
