Welcome to Christ Episcopal Church, Mexia

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 Episcopal Church Women's monthly meeting will be held Thursday, November 21, at 11:30 am. All women are invited to attend. It's a brown-bag so bring your lunch and join us in the Parish Hall!

Join us for Holy Eucharist and Baptism on the Last Sunday after Pentecost, also known as Christ the King Sunday. This is a celebration of Christ's messianic kingship and sovereign rule over all creation. The Rev. Dave Scheider will be officiating. Service begins at 10:30 am.

Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
