Good Training on Avoiding Scams/Phishing

A congregant’s daughter, who works in technology and data management, wrote the following. It’s a great resource for learning more. Knowledge is your first and best tool in avoiding scams and phishing. She says…”Each year I have to complete updated cyber security training for Big Bend, which got me thinking about finding some legitimate training I could share with you. Googling “cybersecurity training” is a great way to end up on dangerous sites, so here are some vetted options. Please feel free to share with other active tech users who are retired and don’t get assigned training regularly. Digital Learn courses, developed and provided by the […]

“What’s Your Joy?”: A Sabbatical Journey

What is joy? What is your joy? Where does it comer from? How do you know it when you see it? How can you live a life filled with joy regardless of circumstances? While I’m away on Sabbatical (May 1st – July 31st of 2023), I’m inviting our community to explore Joy. I’m suggesting we do this together, while we’re apart, and that we will share our discoveries when we’re reunited in August. Here are a couple of suggestions on how we will do this together:

We give thanks… for you.

Dear St. Christopher’s Friends, Members, and Supporters, At St. Christopher’s we have much to be thankful for… there have been physical additions to our facilities like the new flooring downstairs or the gazebo and the new playground equipment outside. We’ve had marvelous programs and events the Thanksgiving potluck, Evensong, and new book studies. And there are signs of recovery from the Pandemic all over. But we are most grateful for God’s work in and through you. So many of you give of your time and talent and treasure. You come to worship. You pray for this community. You share […]

Online Grief Support Group Begins September

Understanding Your Grief: Online Adult Grief Support Group The Grief Team from Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Olympia (St. Christopher’s Lutheran mother church) is offering a 10-week online grief support group beginning in September. The group will read the book Understanding Your Grief and discuss it together. Grief is like a journey through the wilderness—a vast, inhospitable forest. Finding your way out requires learning to follow the sometimes hard-to-find trail markers that leads to healing. We will learn about the ten touchstones (trail markers), signs that let you know you are on the right path. When you learn to identify and rely […]

COVID-19 and St. Christopher’s

Updated March 13, 2020

Dear Friends,

As the situnation surounding COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop I think it will not surprise you that St. Christopher’s facilites are closed to all in-person group meetings and group worship through at least March 22nd. This is in compliance with the closures of all Diocese of Olympia congregations. Below you will find more info from the Diocese of Olympia and the Southwestern WA Synod.

This does not mean St. Christopher’s is closed… We are simply doing ministry in different ways. Over the weekend you will hear of ways we can remain worshiping, fellowshiping, and serving together. Much of this will occur by phone, text message, email, video conference, and online.

Sunday Services go online… I intend to have some form of video streaming or conferenced worship at our normal times on Sunday. I will have more info on that n the next 24 hours as I work out the details of software, harware, licensing, and copyright. Please be patient.

… there’s more …
