Faith & Practice - Our Faith Legacy in Practice
Please join the 2040 Committee at a unique Faith & Practice on Sunday, June 3, for a presentation from Parishioner, Tom Kuhns reviewing the history of Christ Church.
While many of us are aware of the early beginnings of Christ Church, Tom will connect the milestones that have shaped our parish, and share the stories of parishioners taking extraordinary efforts to lead the broader parish to new forms of faith through service. The discussion will include the original founding principles from 1876 and their evolution today.

2040 VISION QUESTION:
HOW DO YOU SHARE CHRIST CHURCH WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR? 
The latest "2040 Question" builds on Rev. Rod Quainton's sermon on Sunday, May 6 and available here. Later, Faith & Practice featured a conversation on the subject of Evangelism and how is God active in your life? How do you tell others this good news? With that conversation as inspiration, the latest 2040 question is...When you meet a neighbor, how do you share your experience of Christ Church?
Tell us your thoughts via this link or via the Prevost Cloister box.

Upcoming Date: June 12 (Tuesday 5:00PM - 7:00PM)
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 opportunity to "reach out." We need cooks (done in your home), servers, and people to provide milk, fruit, and salad each time we are "on deck."
