Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night for Daylight Savings! Enjoy your extra hour of sleep (unless you have small children! 🥴) and we'll see you later! 

As always, there will be Children's Chapel at the 9 a.m. service, and nursery care for our younger children during both Sunday services.

How can we make sure our church continues to grow and thrive? Between services this week, share your thoughts with the Tending Our Soil team about steps we can take to further our mission of being a caring, accepting, and welcoming community that embodies Jesus’ love in our Capitol Hill neighborhood and beyond. 

Our Vestry meets for their November meeting today to continue their guidance and stewardship of our community. Feel free to take a look at their agenda, or the most recently approved minutes from September.

We are excited to share that the ordination of our new Deacon, Martha Jenkins, will take place next Saturday, November 12, at noon at the Washington National Cathedral. All are welcome to attend! 

While we regularly meet in prayer on Wednesday mornings at 7:30 a.m., next week - November 9 - will be dedicated to prayers for a united country after a divisive election season. No matter your politics, join us in support of our democracy. In person or via Zoom. 

The book group will meet TOMORROW to discuss November's selection, House of Sticks, by Ly Tran! Join us via Zoom on Friday, November 4 at 7 p.m. Questions? Contact Sandy Hussey. Then, get started on the December selection: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. Told from the perspective of Klara, a solar-powered Artificial Friend, the story unfolds in a time in the near future where we see how human society has been engineered. The novel explores the nature of consciousness, what it means to be human, what it means to love.

The film group is off this week as the First Friday Book Group holds their monthly session, but we resume next Friday, November 11, at 7 p.m. Film titles to come. Contact Paul Laymon with questions, or simply join via Zoom next Friday. 

This holiday season, we are again collecting new toys for Community Action Group, a local non-profit that supports the families of individuals dealing with recovery from addictions. Toys for children up to age 14 will be accepted, with special thanks to those targeting the 3- to 10-year-old group. Look for the red toy box in the Outreach Donation corner on your way to the Parish Hall throughout November. 

If you prefer to make a financial donation, please feel free to donate online (choose "Outreach" from the dropdown!) or drop a check in the collection plate. All Outreach donations this month will support this initiative. 

Also, save the date: Join us November 20 between services to learn more about CAG's work from Tommy Wells, the creator of Tommy's Toys, and Janice Gordon, Executive Director of CAG.

Sincere thanks to so many of you who supported our EHDC's Thanksgiving Campaign in October. Your donations totaled more than $3,740, which translates into nearly 75 gift cards for EHDC clients this holiday season. Thank you! 

Join fellow parishioners at an Alexandria Symphony Orchestra concert on Saturday, November 12, featuring an Afghan couple being helped by Good Neighbors Capitol Hill. Hamid Habib Zada will be playing the Tabla, and his wife, Negin Khpalwak, is guest conductor. The concert comes just over a year after Negin, Hamid, and thousands of other Afghan refugees arrived in the United States. One hundred of those refugees will also be attending this concert. It will be a special evening, and all are welcome. Find out more and purchase tickets here!

Now in its 39th year, the Christ Church & Community quilters will auction its annual quilt, titled "Jewels of Africa," with 2022 proceeds supporting Buenos Vecinos Central America, whose organizers work in some of the most impoverished areas of Guatemala & Honduras to support healthcare, education, and housing. The 90"x90" quilt features bright & bold batiks made of African wax textiles, and is machine-quilted in a pattern reminiscent of Saharan winds. Raffle tickets cost $10 for a book of 6 (not tax deductible), and general donations are always welcome. Raffle drawing held at 7 p.m. on December 3, and winner need not be present to win, so tell your friends. Additional info available in outreach corner. 

Join us this Saturday, November 5, at 6:30 p.m. for the Samaritan Ministry Gala watch event in the Parish Hall.

RSVP to Ed Warren, or sign up on the bulletin board.

Can't come to the dinner but would like to help in another way? Visit the Gala hub online to bid on a basket or make a donation. The Christ Church basket, A Quartet of Cuisines, is pretty special! 

Last week for collecting warm outerwear/coats (size S/M if for adults) and gloves/hats/scarves for men, women and children, including babies at Christ Church. (Full list of welcomed supplies on the bulletin board.)

Thanks to all who have helped with this effort!
