SEEK | SERVE | SHARE
Ever heard the long standing joke that good Episcopalians take the summer off? Well, this season is no different! Many of our families have some wonderful adventures planned, so why not take us with you? Not the whole church mind you, just Flat St. Chris. He is the patron saint of travelers after all!
Yes, that’s right, we have a Flat St. Chris. He just the right size to fit in any carry on. Flat St. Chris is the perfect travel buddy—no complaints about legroom and always ready for an adventure. We encourage you to share your journeys so we can keep in touch on your travels.
So take a few pictures of him on your vacations or have someone else take a picture of you with your Flat St. Chris on your phone. Send to the office or post to our social (#stchrisjourneys) and please include your location. We’d love to see where he winds up! You can find Flat St. Chris in the Narthex or you can download him here.
There may even be awards for things like most locations, most creative, furthest from St. Christopher’s. If you have any ideas, let us know.
Not traveling, no problem, you can still join the fun, think of some crazy and cool places around Austin or even your home.
We will be tracking his travels (and yours) around the country and the world on a map in the parish hall.
Even though the videos drop on Fridays @ 7p and sometimes includes Friday prayers, if you enjoy it, try it on another day or time.
Anyone can lead a daily office service, so if you are interested in leading one, please let the office know.
Solidifying our Lenten practice of providing household supplies to Travis County’s Family Support Services, we will continue to gather toilet paper (4pks easiest to store and dispense), cleaning supplies (dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, spray cleaner, sponges, etc).
Call or text Cathy if you would like more information, or contact the office.
Road Trip VBS coming Aug 9, 9:30am-3:30pm. On this exciting trip, our travelers will discover that God is with us wherever the journey of life takes them. They’ll learn new Bible stories that help navigate the zigs and zags of their unique road trip, and supplement those lessons with games, crafts and science! Children 3 and up are invited to attend this free event! Register here.
This camp is presented by the Girls Empowerment Network intended for girls in grades 3-5 and will take place at St. Christopher’s, June 23-27.
Scholarships are available for any child who would like to participate! Please click here for more information or to register.
The days are warming up and it is getting to be that time to think about plans for the summer.

We are happy to announce we have enough for two groups, and we can always make room for more.
If you are interested in participating in Foyer Dinner Groups at St. Christopher’s, please contact Jean Kelly; 512/925-1899.
Foyer Dinner Groups are a way to foster community and connectivity among parishioners in a smaller, in-home setting outside of our larger, parish-wide events.
A Foyer Group is comprised of roughly 8 parishioners who meet throughout the year (roughly four times a year) for simple meals and conversation. There is no formal agenda nor assignment. Newcomers are invited and encouraged to join a Group at any time. There will be Family Foyer Groups (children included) and Adult Foyer Groups (adults-only). We can also have a lunch group, for those who may prefer not to drive after dark. Thank you in advance for your interest!
