Keeping God's People Safe,
Saturday, September 29, 9-11AM
Christ Church will be conducting a training session for Keeping God's People Safe, the Episcopal program to prevent child and youth sexual abuse. This is for anyone holding a leadership position in our children's and youth ministries, as well as Christ Church staff. If you will be in one of these positions in the upcoming year, and you were trained more than five years ago, or are new to this kind of position and have not yet been trained, we will be contacting you to sign you up for the training.
 
Parishioners from other nearby churches will be attending as well. We will meet in the McClain Room.
 
Any questions, please contact Melissa Durbin, melissa@christchurchwinnetka.org or Megan Miller, megan@christchurchwinnetka.org. Thank you!

Playgroup on the Patio - Wednesdays
We've had a great summer at Playgroup!     
Children and their parents or caregivers gather every Wednesday in the McClain Room and the adjoining patio from 9:30-11:00 for some fun playtime. We have lots of toys, a simple snack, and coffee for the grown-ups!  Friends are welcome. Questions? Contact Melissa Durbin, or Patty Lea.  
 
No need to RSVP, just stop in if you can!
Opportunities to Help  
We Need Volunteers for Saturday, August 25, 4:30-6:30PM   
Interested in Volunteering With This Great Organization?  
 
DID YOU KNOW that our Parish serves approximately 150-175 hungry patrons each month at A Just Harvest Community Kitchen in Rogers Park.  We'd love to have you join this ongoing ministry.  Questions? Contact Jenny Smith or Suzie Peregrine for more information and/or to volunteer.
 
Most volunteers leave the kitchen with the sense that they have personally gained more than they have given. Come see for yourself.
