Faith & Practice
Earth Day Discussion - An Idea to Share
Under the leadership of Nadia Stefko a trial group of parishioners recently participated in a pilot program called "Eating Together Faithfully". Join us in the choir stalls after the 9:30 service on Sunday to learn about the program and how you might apply it to your home life. We offer this now living with the concept that EVERY day is Earth Day.

Join the Christ Church LinkedIN Group
In response to parishioner suggestions, the Vestry has created a private LinkedIn group to allow Christ Church parishioners to connect professionally. On LinkedIn, search "Christ Church Winnetka" and click on our group name to request membership.
We encourage our younger parishioners who are away at college or who have recently graduated to join as well since many parishioners have expressed interest in mentoring others interested in their fields.
Please feel free to share job postings, professional development opportunities and your own posts that you would like to share to the group. We will be adding some resources to the documents in the coming weeks.
If you do not have a LinkedIn Profile and would like help creating a basic profile to allow others to connect with you for professional advice, please contact Sarah Generes at [email protected] or 847-609-6098 for assistance.
