Thank You! 

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Rebuilding Together Project Day last Saturday, April 30. Twenty-three members of the Christ Church community came together to weed, paint, build a ramp, and generally repair and restore a home in Sandy Spring. We are happy to once again contribute to the work of ReBuilding Together Montgomery County, and we couldn’t have made it such a success without all our wonderful volunteer workers! Special thanks also to everyone who contributed food to sustain those working at the project site – it truly does take a village!

Spiritual Growth & Reflection

Racial & Social Justice Book Discussion – Join us this coming Tuesday, May 10 (change of date from May 9) for our final conversation about The Church Cracked Open by Stephanie Spellers. We will meet on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. (password = 20895), and for this final session the Racial & Social Justice committee will share what we've learned about the history of our Church and Race and seek your input and guidance as we prepare to take this information to the congregation. Questions? Contact Cynthia Mitchell at justice@ccpk.org.

May 16 & 23rd, 7:00-8:30pm on Zoom

Join us for small group conversations about faith and spiritual development. We will explore questions such as "How do you think Jesus' followers felt when they met him after he died and rose again?", and "If Jesus were here right now, what would you say to him?" (We’re using awesome conversation starters from a Diocese of Washington resource called the Path of Discipleship.) Come join the conversation on Zoom (password = 20895)! Questions? Email grow@ccpk.org. 

Join us again next week (5/15) as we continue to delve into the Minor Prophets, as they are known in the Hebrew scriptures. But their exhortations are minor by no means. These prophets most likely wrote after the fall of Jewish monarchy and they offer both harsh judgements of imperial corruption and comforting words of redemption. They have an interesting relevance for where we often find ourselves today! Drop in or come every week. In person in the library at church and on Zoom (password = Bible). If you have questions contact Lee Puricelli at leepuricelli@yahoo.com.

“How should Christians think and act with respect to guns and gun ownership?” Michael Austin, a philosophy professor, ethicist, and lifelong gun owner, examines questions such as this one in his provocative book, God and Guns in America. Sign up today for a Community Forum about the book on Wednesday, May 11th at 7-8:30 pm. Join on Zoom or come in person to St. John's, Norwood (6701 Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase).

St. John's Rector Sari Ateek will moderate a conversation with author Michael Austin about the growth of gun ownership and gun violence; how to interpret Bible scriptures sometimes used by gun rights activists; and a Christian response of peace-building. Christ Church Assisting Priest, the Rev. Hope Christensen, who co-chairs the newly formed Faith Leaders for Ending Gun Violence, will speak in person. She will address chapter 7 of the book, "More than Thoughts and Prayers."

There will be time for questions from both Zoom and in-person attendees, and light refreshments will be served after the formal program adjourns. Register here to let us know whether you'll attend on Zoom or at St. John's:

The Planned Giving and Endowment Committee of Christ Church invites you to a presentation regarding estate planning and Christ Church on May 22, 2022, directly after the 10:00 service.

There is a short prayer service every Thursday at noon, in person as well as on Zoom (password = 20895). We hope you will join us to pray for an end to the war in Ukraine and everywhere there is violent conflict. The service is approximately 15 minutes in length, and the sanctuary will be open before and after the service for private prayer.

As outlined in the April 8 email from the Regathering Committee, masks are still required when singing in our church services, or when in close proximity to young children. At all other times, mask wearing is strongly encouraged but not required.
