Ministries of the Church
Daughters of the King - An order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church and churches in communion with it. Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating a Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation of the promises made at baptism and confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service and evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish.” Our Christ Chapter meets at 2:00 pm the 2nd Wednesday of each month in the Parish Hall.
Brotherhood of St. Andrew - One of the ways the Brotherhood gives back to the church is by cooking a wonderful pancake breakfast the second Sunday of each month. Proceeds from those breakfasts go to the charity or ministry of choice for the Brotherhood.
Christian Meditation Service - Mondays at 4:45 p.m. – This service in the nave features a ten-minute teaching followed by twenty minutes of contemplative prayer and silent meditation. This service is affiliated with the World Community of Christian Meditation.
Chapel Service - Wednesdays at 8:15 a.m. – Christ Episcopal School and Community are invited to attend.
Episcopal Jacks - Members of the congregation with a special talent for college ministry meet as needed to help support the programs for the college ministry. All college students are invited to the SFASU campus student union building on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm during the fall and spring semester for dinner, Bible study, prayer and evening prayer.
New Membership/Greeting Team - Develops and implements actions, activities and programs to welcome newcomers. Organizes effective newcomer greeter ministry and procedures, raises retention of new families, explores other church’s successful new membership and greeting practices.
Nursery - Children are welcomed at Christ Episcopal worship services; however, our well child nursery is available for parent’s convenience during church services. Two adults, who must be certified in the EDOT program, Safeguarding God’s Children, staff the nursery. It is located upstairs, above the Parish Hall.
Floral Gifts for Altar - Flowers are given in memory of, or in honor or thanksgiving for an individual each Sunday or for special services. Memorials, honorees, and donors are included in the Sunday service bulletin.
Emergency Preparedness and Response – Members of Church community, members of Christ Episcopal prepare for and respond to disasters and emergencies such as Hurricane, flood, or fire as called for by the Diocese of Texas: www.epicenter.org/resources/emergency-preparedness/emergency-preparedness/.
Missional Community – This work is the ministry of taking the church out to the people, where they live and move. To make this a reality in Nacogdoches, we have adopted an apartment living community as our missionary community. Independence Manor is a Section 8 HUD housing complex that deserves our time, treasure and talent. We serve meals there every Saturday, and we hold at least one service there per month. We need a wide range of skill sets to serve these people. Additionally, lay eucharistic visitors offer holy communion once a month at local nursing homes.
