Clothing Ministries

Annual - All Call Clothing Drive – Kingdom’s Kloset

Two years ago we collected 170 bags of clothing for Goodwill. Last year we collected 320 bags of clothing! That's a 90% increase. Imagine what we can do during LENT this year!

Feeding Ministries

St. Christophers Crops Garden Planting

On Trinity Sunday, 2009, 90 minutes into the planting, there were still over 50 parishoners hunched over or with tools in their hands helping Christopher Crops get in the ground.Check out the St. Christopher Crops section of the website for more information.

Operation Breadbasket

St. Christopher's is always collecting canned goods and non-perishable items. These items are donated to Third Phase, and other places of need. Donation baskets are located in the WELCOME CENTER just inside the doors of the Narthex. By being ever mindful that the needs of others our food and gift card ministries continue throughout the year.
