PRESS RELEASE - April 8, 2009

Christ Church, Fallbrook

2000 Reche Road, Fallbrook, CA 92028

(760) 728-2007, Rector: Fr. Donald L. Kroeger

On Sunday, April 5, Christ Church Fallbrook held their inaugural service at Living Waters Christian Fellowship with shouts of Psalms and loud Hosannas! In celebration of Palm Sunday, the service began outside the church building with the participants processing into the church, waving palms and following the cross. In addition to celebrating Palm Sunday, members and friends of Christ Church were excited to participate in the first service of this new church entity in Fallbrook.  This celebration marks the beginning of a new chapter for members of what was formerly St. John’s Anglican Church.    Approximately one hundred fifty people were in attendance, worshipping together on what is essentially Christ Church’s birth day!  Local pastors representing Fallbrook’s evangelical community were in attendance as well as many other Anglican priests representing churches throughout San Diego County.   Fr. Don Kroeger, rector of Christ Church, preached

a memorable sermon that challenged listeners to enter into this Holy Week, reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice and ultimately His victory as He overcame death.  Commenting on the day, Fr. Kroeger stated “I am overwhelmed by the loving support and encouragement we have received by our brothers and sister in Christ both locally and county wide.” The service was followed with a lively time of fellowship as old friends and new gathered to celebrate new life as a local Christian community.
