In 1845, several of the city's prominent families

In 1845, several of the city's prominent families came together to found Christ Church. They were motivated by a deep & earnest wish, to share their faith in Christ with each other, their families, and with their neighbors, That wish burnished over time to become our mission: to stand as a beacon of hope in the heart of Detroit. Join in a special Pentecost & anniversary service today on YouTube or Facebook! #CCD175 #175yearsofhope

We stand with George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breona

We stand with George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breona Taylor, and Christian Cooper, beloved and cherished and whole. Our hearts shatter under the grievous weight of racism. In that insidious noose, if one cannot breathe, then no one can truly breathe. Holy Spirit, breath of life, knit us together into one body. Set us free to serve you and to respect the dignity of every human being.

Good morning. ✨ Even through clouds, light is pouring through our Garden of Eden #stainedglass window, designed & given in gratitude for and in honor of our strong Syrian-American heritage here at Christ Church. (Eden is thought to be near Damascus, Syria.) Take in the beauty. Trust in goodness. Know that you are not alone. #church #historicchurch #historicdetroit #downtowndetroit #beauty #prayer #art #covid19

Hope. Daffodils are daring to burst up from beneath the earth—right beside, even, a monument to another Detroit church (St Andrew’s) that painfully had to close its doors permanently several decades ago. Remember that we’re all in this together. Remember, when things are most difficult, that they will not always be as hard. Remember that death, pain, and fear are not forever. Remember that good, new life awaits us all, even when we can’t see it. Hope. #spring #flowers #daffodils #churchflowers #flowerchurch #historicchurch #historicdetroit #downtowndetroit #churchesofdetroit #detroitchurches #churcharchitecture #pewabic #episcopal #episcopalchurch #covid19 #covid19michigan #detcovid19response @episcopalmichigan

Our friends from @blessing_box_detroit stopped by

Our friends from @blessing_box_detroit stopped by today to discuss next steps for a #blessingbox right here at Christ Church! A blessing box is a tall cabinet installed outdoors, into which anyone can place pantry food or hygiene items, and from which anyone can take what they need. “Take what you need, give what you can.” #neighborshelpingneighbors #love #care #interfaith #detroit #downtowndetroit
