Receiving Holy Communion

From Sunday 6th October there will be a slight change to the way we receive Holy Communion. Thanks to a new special kind of chalice we will be able to receive the blessed bread and wine of Holy Communion at the same time. Communion is given by intinction. For those who prefer not to receive the blessed wine, please let the priest know when you are at the altar rail.

Children of all ages are welcome at Christ Church! For more information of Sunday school activities please contact Audrey using the contact page of this website.

Making Music ~ Praising God!

If you would like to contribute to the music ministry here at Christ Church please send us a message through the contact page. You can sign up to our weekly email that includes the hymns for the coming Sunday. We welcome all instruments, so long as you're prepared to turn up for the practice on Sundays at 9am.

Church Flowers and Cleaning 

YCC continues to provide flowers, normally for the 4th Sunday of the month, subject to Yamate Sei Ko Kai events and schedule. If you would like to donate flowers on a future date please contact Noriko using the contact page of this website. Since we are a small congregation, YSKK do not expect us to join the regular roster for cleaning but we did pledge full support twice a year, at which time please lend your support; many hands make light work and a couple of hours will be much appreciated. 

YCC Parking

Please park your cars in the lot next to the Parish Hall.  The parking lot on the Rectory side of the church is reserved for YSKK members.
