What does Jesus teach us about Unity? Gather at the Men's Breakfast to discuss
All men are invited to gather for a time of fellowship and faith formation this Saturday, September 18, at 8:00 AM. The group will gather outside and you are asked to bring your own breakfast and beverage. The discussion topic will be "Unity." During a time when our country seems highly divided, what does Jesus teach us about being united in the face of difficult circumstances? If it rains, the group will move to Zoom. Please join the Men's Community Info Group in Realm or contact Dave Wasik to be notified of changes and updates.

Special Diocese Day of Commitment on Saturday, September 18
As we emerge from the pandemic, many youth and adults are ready to be Confirmed or Received into The Episcopal Church, or to Reaffirm their baptismal vows. On Saturday, September 18, the Diocese of Virginia's Day of Commitment will offer an opportunity for such candidates and others to gather to make their vows and to celebrate their adult commitment. This special ceremony will take place at two local churches, including Christ Church. With grateful hearts for God’s call to us all to be disciples of Jesus, and fellow journeyers of the Way of Love, we ask your prayers for the all persons preparing to receive the sacrament of Confirmation or be received by the bishop into The Episcopal Church on September 18.
