Faith & Practice
Planning Your Funeral in Advance
(For the Sake of Those Who Remain
)
One of the things we kept hearing from commentators during John McCain's funeral was that he had planned everything for the service prior to his death. Come join Christopher, Nadia, Rod, and Richard Clemmitt as we present the things you will need to plan your own funeral and answer your questions. We will provide you with enough to make those decisions after these two sessions.

Why should your kids have all the fun? Here's YOUR chance to dance!
Come join us for a fun, non-competitive dance class right here at Christ Church. While
 your kids are at choir or sports or some other activity, you can get your groove on with other adults in the community. Class will be held on Mondays, 4:45-5:45, October 8-Nov. 26.
Our instructor is Christ Church parishioner and professional dance teacher Amanda MacDonald. Amanda teaches using Brain-Compatible Lesson Planning developed by a renowned dance educator (and New Trier graduate.) Each class includes a warm up, mini-combinations, improvisational exercises, and time for reflection. We'll include pop songs from the '60s, '70s, and '80s as well as contemporary hits and Broadway. You'll also get tips for healthy alignment and well-being. Please wear comfortable clothes that allow you to stretch and bring a towel to sit on.
We are ALL dancers - no experience required! Open to the community, so bring a friend!
