Special Events at CEC
Christ Church family:
You are warmly invited to a joyful and sacred occasion at Christ Episcopal Church as we celebrate the Installation of The Reverend Joseph Dewey as our ninth Rector. This special service will take place on Friday, September 19, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. All church members, guests, and friends are encouraged to attend. The Installation marks an important time in the life of our parish as we formally welcome Father Joe into his pastoral leadership, affirming our shared commitment to worship, service, and spiritual growth.
The Installation service will follow the traditional liturgy for the Celebration of a New Ministry, with scripture readings by guest clergy, and special music. Bishop David Read will preside over the installation rites, including a presentation of symbolic gifts that reflect the roles and responsibilities of the Rector.
The service will conclude at approximately 7:30 p.m. with a reception following at the home of Christ Church members John and Ruth Agather located at 300 W French Place, across the parking lot from CEC.
