Get InvolvedChrist Church offers a wide range of opportunities for people to "Get Involved" and make a difference with numerous ministries inside and outside of Christ Church. Do you enjoy being surrounded by cherubic faces of little children? Teach a Sunday School class. Do you like hanging around the older youth? Volunteer as a Youth chaperone. Would you like to broaden your horizons and make an impact on the local community? Join other Christ Church parishioners who regularly invest their time to reach out to those in physical and emotional need. Getting involved at Christ Church is just another way of engaging ourselves in a relationship with God, by utilizing our time and talents to serve Him and others; we transform the world one person at a time. Bolivia Adult Pilgrimage, November 8-16 On this spiritual journey to the poorest country in South America, we'll visit Amistad Mission, an ecumenical partnership between North Americans and Bolivians which Christ Church has supported for more than ten years. Amistad consists of a Children's Village (orphanage) in the city of Cochabamba, as well as a medical clinic, day care and schoool in Aramasi, a rural village in the high Andes.
We'll stay in modest, yet safe and comfortable, accomodation of Amistad's retreat house in Cochabamba. We'll do a small work project at the Children's Village, and spend time developing relationships with the children. We'll spend a night at Aramsi and experience life as Quechua Indians lived for centuries. The cost - including round-trip airfare, ground transportation, room and board - is $1,725 per person, plus visa and immunizations. A $500 non-refundable deposit will secure your spot.
