3 Unique Ways You Can Help Our Rummage Ministry
- 95th Anniversary Task Force Team: It's a special year for us as 2019 marks a milestone for Rummage -- Year Number 95! So, we're rolling up our sleeves a little earlier than usual this year and are looking for volunteers to help us brainstorm and execute ideas designed to celebrate what's hands down, one of the best Sales on the North Shore! Please email Rummage Director, Annie Adams at [email protected] if you would like to be a part of the 95th Anniversary Task Force Team.
- Turn That Brown Upside Down: We're also adding a new Rummage capability to the mix -- furniture rehab! Dubbed the Turn That Brown Upside Down! initiative, the goal is to overhaul a handful of less attractive pieces and sell them for a higher markup during the Fall Sale. Think paint, lacquer, and new hardware. If you have a special interest in furniture, are skilled with a paint brush or wallpaper, or simple want to be a part of this new initiative, please email Annie -- [email protected].
- Rummage is expanding its Publicity Team! If you are interested in helping us spread the Good News of Rummage, don't think twice, please email Annie --[email protected].

Sign-Up to Acolyte: January - March, 2019
The acolyte schedule for the next few months has now been posted. 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 you need training or a refresher, we can teach you how to do it before worship.

Youth Art Workshop Series: Fruit of the Holy Spirit
Only 15 years after Jesus walked the earth, Saint Paul taught one of the first Christian  churches: "
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control"
(Galatians 5:22-23). What is "the Spirit"? Why are these nine things its "fruit"? Are "love... patience, kindness, generosity...and self-control" still things humans want and struggle with today?
Each Sunday following worship, the youth will study, reflect on, and create artwork inspired by the fruit of the Holy Spirit. The workshop will culminate in an art gallery display on Sunday, May 12. All middle and high school youth are invited to participate. Friends and parents are always welcome!
We will meet on the following Sunday mornings from 10:45-11:30AM in the Youth Room: January 13 and 27, February 3 and 24, March 3 and 10, April 14 and 28, and May 5. Please let Megan know if you or your child would like to participate and/or be a curator.

Christ Church serves twice a month at A Just Harvest, a community kitchen,
in Rogers
Park, serving dinner 365 days a year to anyone in need. This is a great family
