Message From Father Karl

John’s Gospel opens with vast, cosmic language - Word, Light, and Life. This Sunday’s reading from John brings that grandeur down into the dust of an ordinary day. The Lamb of God walks by. Two seekers fall into step behind him on a familiar path. A conversation begins, quiet and human, and it becomes the turning point of a life. A brother is drawn in. A new name is spoken over Simon, one whose meaning he cannot yet imagine.


This is how the kingdom takes shape: not in spectacle or force, but in small, relational, invitational moments that help us notice God’s presence woven into our finite, everyday world.


Looking forward to Sunday worship and to gathering with you around God’s table. Fr. Karl

Welcome (Back) George and Betsy

George Comstock attended Christ Church as a child and fondly remembers Elof Johnson, who was our minister when George was in middle school. “Elof was an angel on earth, “ George recalls, and describes him as an essential role model in his youth. George graduated from Radnor High School in 1965. He graduated from West Chester University and married Betsy, also a West Chester graduate. While he enjoyed a long career in sales in the plastic industry, Betsy was always a teacher, full-time before her children were born and later as a substitute in the Great Valley School system. Both lifelong Episcopalians, they worshipped for many years at St. Peter’s in the Great Valley. After hearing Father Karl preach one Sunday at St. Peter’s and learning he was our minister, George and Betsy felt called to Christ Church. For George, it was a pilgrimage back to his roots. With three adult children living locally and seven grandchildren, they are very busy keeping up with a broad range of activities, including many basketball games. Betsy learned she had type 1 diabetes as an adult, and two of their children have the disease. George is immensely proud of the way Betsy managed the disease for their whole family, allowing their children to grow up active and healthy. In his time at Radnor High School, George developed friendships with several people who lived in The Highland Homes and he hopes to reconnect with some of them as he participates in our outreach work there. 

Working With Our Hands

Pajama bags were a “thing” when Dorothy Maddock was growing up. She has knit one for each of her five grandchildren, and every year she puts a new set of Christmas pajamas in each of their bags. Pictured left is the hand-knit bag that features a complete Santa with an opening for the PJs to go into. With a sixth grandchild on the way, Dorothy has started another bag.
