Christ United Methodist Church, 8645 East Brainerd Road in Chattanooga, announces the following upcoming events:
1. Ash Wednesday Services at Christ Church - Join us Wednesday, Feb. 17, for Ash Wednesday at Christ Church. Due to the ongoing pandemic, things will look different this year. We will offer a Virtual Worship Service beginning at 7 a.m. This service can be viewed any time after that on the Christ Church Website - www.christchurchchatt.org, Church App and Facebook page. We will offer several options to receive the ashes. Please wear a mask, whichever option you choose: "Drive-Thru To Receive Ashes" (drive-thru will be at the covered entrance facing Morris Hill Road) from 11 a.m.-noon and 5-6 p.m. or "Walk Through The Sanctuary To Receive Ashes In Stations" from 12:30-1:30 p.m. and 6:30-7:30 p.m. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent, the 40-day period of preparation prior to Easter.
2. In-person worship resumes at Christ Church on Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. in the sanctuary. Seize the opportunity to come back to live worship and experience our different styles of music in one combined service. Our worship staff members from all services will be leading together. We will also be livestreaming the service each Sunday at 10 a.m. by way of Livestream (www.christchurchchatt.org) and Facebook Live, and through the church app. As always, no food or drink allowed, and masks are required to be worn at all times.
