We also need help setting up our 30 plus Departments!

Starting on Monday, September 24, stop by the Welcome Desk, located in the Office at the Parish House, for your assignment. We'll be setting up weekdays from 9AM to 3PM. We are eternally grateful for your support!

Christ Church Hosts Families

We need volunteers of all ages to help with:
- Setup and Cleanup
- Evening Meals
- Evening Activities
- Overnight Hosting

Security Volunteers Needed! October 3
If you're looking for a different way to contribute to the success of the Rummage Sale,try serving as a member of the "Security Detail", which provides help, direction and "crowd control" on the Sale Day. It's a terrific way to engage personally with
our Rummage patrons. Three separate three hour shifts (early morning, mid-day and early afternoon) are available.

Blue Light Special in Aisle Four 
Shop in Men's - Oct. 2 - 6:00-8:00PM
The Rummage Men's Department will be running an evening Pre-Sale session on Wed., Oct. 2 from 6:00-8:00PM. On the corner of Maple & Cherry. We believe there are parishioners whose work commitments prevent them from making it to the sale itself but would benefit from the excellent merchandise we have on hand. Come check out our suits, outer wear, and top designer labels. See what has your name on it in our boutique. Pre-Sale pricing will be in effect; there will be a 25% surcharge on all items.

First Fridays Pot-Luck 
Join your fellow parishioners for a monthly gathering on First Fridays starting on October 4th. The purpose of these First Fridays is entirely social-an informal time to get together and enjoy the company of other church members. Our first gathering will be a the home of Nat Roberts and Laura Zung at
730 Walden from 6-8PM. Bring a dish to share and they will provide beverages.

Connect with God, Each Other, and New Ideas

In recent years, Dan has helped churches in the United States to establish redemptive, bridge-building relationships with local Muslim and Jewish communities for the purpose of being a Gospel witness among these unreached people in our own country. He lives in Winnetka with his family.

This Fall Marks the 95th Anniversary of Rummage at Christ Church
The Director and the Queen
It's very early in the morning the first Thursday in October. The sun has not yet risen over the Lake. Birds are barely chirping. No coffee has been brewed. Heck, Starbucks isn't even open yet.
But a real sense of excitement is awakening. A crowd of people is beginning to assemble, coming from all over to uncover the mysteries and treasures that await at Christ Church Winnetka.
For Charlotte McGee, the self-proclaimed Queen of...

A Just Harvest - Saturday, September 28
We Need Cooks, Servers, & Shoppers
Hello wonderful supporters of A Just Harvest!
I just returned from another extremely fulfilling evening at A Just Harvest. 
Along with the food so generously provided by all of you, we had a heartwarming team of servers - Jenny Smith and myself, along with Jenny's kind and warm neighbor Melissa, and my sweet and thoughtful nephew Reid Keller.
We served 80 patrons. They left with full bellies, and in some cases, 2 donuts!
At the end of our time spent, Mark called our team over for a quick chat.
He told us that Patty (the long time Tuesday night server), pulled him aside to let him know how much she appreciates the help of Christ Church.
She indicated that many of the other organizations that provide food and serve quickly run out the door when the kitchen closes. She mentioned that we are diligent in cleaning the serving area and around, and are always extremely positive and happy to be there.
Clearly we all do this because we want to, not because we have to. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this thoughtful, compassionate and giving group of individuals!
Thank you all for your support tonight, your past support, and your continued support!
Fondly,
Erika :)
