Rev. Robin says, “Welcome to Christ Church Creston and the congregations and worshiping communities of the East Shore. Within our parish boundary we include, Christ Church Creston, St. Anselms Boswell, Harrison Memorial Crawford Bay and Riondel Community Church.

“Churches are those places where we can get in touch with what is holy and important to us; where we can re-focus on why we do the things we do and where we can find a community that is willing to accept us for who we are and support us in our joys and pain. They are sanctuaries where we gather, from where we are sent out, and to which we return. They are sacred places where we are commissioned, renewed and strengthened for the responsibilities that God has given us for the sake of the world.

“My prayer for you is wherever your journey of faith takes you, that you will find rest, meaning and purpose. Amen.

“Yours in the Ministry we Share,

Rev. Robin Ruder Celiz”
