Thanksgiving Bags 2025

This year CEC plans to serve 450 households for Thanksgiving.  These families will be from Sidewalk Saturday, Respite Care, and our schools. We need your help to gather 450 bags of sides. Please purchase these items, place them all in a grocery bag or a decorative reusable grocery tote bag, and affix the list on the bag so we know the bag contains all of the listed items.The Pantry is always thankful for the generosity of the parishioners for their provisions as well as their participation in serving God’s children.

Please bring your bags of sides to church by Sunday, November 16.

To honor our Veterans, Christ Church would like to sponsor 250 wreaths to be placed on veterans’ grave sites at Fort Sam Houston. Each wreath costs $17.00. The easiest way to purchase wreaths is to use the link below. You may also pay by check , made out to CEC with “wreaths” in the memo. Please give/send checks to Karen Von Der Bruegge at the church office. Deadline for checks is Nov 21. If you want to designate a specific grave site and/or participate in the laying of wreaths on Dec 13, please let Karen know. Karenv@cecsa.org.
