Members and friends of Christ Church, Manhasset, have joined together for many special events during the year 2002 to celebrate 200 years of worship. On Sept. 15, the anniversary of the church, there will be a Bicentennial Worship Service at 3 p.m. Father Leslie Hughs will read the service and Bishop Orris Walker will participate in this joyous celebration. A commemorative musical work for organ, brass and choir has been commissioned specifically for the occasion and will be directed by Concert Organist Maxine Thevenot. The church is expected to be filled with present and former parishioners, members of the community and honored guests.

Visitors are welcome to celebrate 200 years of ministry and beyond. The church is located at Northern Boulevard and Plandome Road.
