Christ Church Canaan |
Christ Church is a recognized Jubilee Ministries site. We serve the community through :
" The Treasure Shop " - a thrift store offering clothes, books, household furnishings, and other 'treasures' at bargain prices.
Located in the Parish Hall on Granite Avenue across from the Webster Bank. Our doors are open every Friday and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm.
Alcoholics Anonymous meets in the Parish Hall every Monday & Tuesday evenings at 8:00pm.
We also support the General Theological Seminary, the Episcopal Relief and Development Fund, the Bishop's Fund for Children, and other outreach and emergency ministries.
The Chapel of All Saints, independently from Christ Church, strives to devote 40% of its annual budget to outreach, divided more or less equally between local and global charities. By design, our freedom from a heavy overhead for bricks and mortar permits this expansive mission. Inside the Northwest corner, we support more than a dozen organizations attentive to women, children and the mentally ill, as well as food & fuel assistance to the needy. Outside, beyond the Diocesan Funds and emergency ministries, global giving includes multi-year commitments to the Kateri Medical Clinic, serving Muslims & Christians in volatile northern Nigeria, the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and the General Theological Seminary.
