This Sunday at Christ Church
|
Please bring a new (or gently used) teddy bear to church this Sunday, February 10. Teddy bears will be blessed at both services - 8:00AM, 9:30AM - after which, they will be donated to the Department of Children and Family Services. Your donated teddy bears will serve as gifts for abused or displaced children.
If you do not have a teddy bear to donate you can buy one at Christ Church!
Bears are between $5-25. Thank you for your support.
After the 9:30 service, please come to the Cloister for a special Valentine-themed coffee hour with activities, crafts and a special service project for Grace House! It's all about love! This takes the place of regular Sunday School classes today.

Silence the Violence - Film Screening & Discussion
Sunday, Feb. 10 - 4:15PM
A portion of our Prayers of the People each Sunday is the jarring part where we list the names of those shot and killed in Chicago each week. Join us for a firsthand look into the realities of gun violence in Chicago. Participants from the Family Matters' Boys-to-Men Program-young men who have been directly affected by gun violence- have made a short film called Silence the Violence. They speak to their reality and offer insights on ways to promote peace. We will watch the film in the sanctuary on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 4:15. It will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the participants in Boys-to-Men.
This event will be followed by the monthly Taizé service at 5:30PM. Childcare is provided for Taizé.

Sign-Up to Acolyte: Now through Holy Week!
The acolyte schedule through Holy Week is available. Sign-up to acolyte on Easter! Please email [email protected] the dates that work for your family. You may also sign-up online by submitting the form at the bottom of the acolyte web page.
Acolytes are lay worship leaders. They carry crosses, candles, and other items in procession. Becoming an acolyte is a great way for young people to participate in the service, see worship from a new perspective, and feel ownership and belonging in the community. Anyone that is in 5th grade and up can acolyte! If needed, we can provide a training or a refresher before worship.
