Vacation Bible School

An activity that is normally scheduled in the summer will be taking place at Christ Church in Lively during the March break. (March 12-16)  A Vacation Bible School is planned for children between the ages of 5 and 12.  You may contact the Church at 705-692-3344 or go to www.overboard.cokesburyvbs.com/ChristChurchLively to register.

Pancake Supper

The curious custom of filling up on fattening foods the day before Lent begins was once again practiced at Christ Church in Lively. Approximately 60 people gathered and enjoyed a feast of pancakes, sausages, scrambled eggs, toast and a beverage all in support of the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund.  The talented members of the Men's group were the hosts and no one left hungry.  In all $300 was raised to support the important work of PWRDF. A thank you goes out to those who participated and those who helped with the preparation and clean-up. 

Mom's Group

On Monday February 13 a group of mothers who belong to the congregation at Christ Church will be bringing their children to enjoy some play time in the Parish Hall while they have a conversation about the common concerns and joys of rasing small children in today's world.
