Mission: Serving God. Serving Our Community.

The Coat Shed

The Coat Shed is a way for us to offer a warm coat to anyone in the community who may need one.

It operates on the honor system and is always open. Please find it in your heart to contribute to this critical ministry.

The coat shed, built for us by Habitat for Humanity, was installed on Wednesday, August 31, 2022, and dedicated in November.

We Need Acolytes! Acolytes: a general term which covers not only servers, torchbearers, and lighters of candles but also crucifers, thurifers, and banner-bearers. (episcopalchurch.org)

Being an acolyte is a privilege and has certain responsibilities. Adults and youths are welcome and encouraged to participate in this important worship ministry.

The Prayer Wall

During the 2022 Red Wing Holiday Stroll, we built this Prayer Wall on the sidewalk in front of the church.

As you can see, it provided a great comfort to many people.

At Christ Church, we believe Christ is calling us to be a renewed church in a changing world. Empowered by the Spirit of God, we deepen our bonds with Christ and with others in a community where all are accepted. Wherever you are in your life with God - whether a hesitant searcher or a regular church goer - we invite you to worship with us and to think of Christ Church as your spiritual home.

A procession of angels goes before each person, and the heralds go before them proclaiming:
’Make way for the image of God!
Make way for the image of God!’

— Rabbi Joshua ben Levi
