Lunch-making Ministry this week! |
Join us between services this Sunday for our monthly lunch-making ministry in the Parish Hall. All ages welcome! Many thanks go to the Howard family for the supplies, and to Anne Fletcher & John Jameson for their organization and delivery. |

We are excited to offer an array of Adult Forums in May. After our homeless lunch-making ministry on May 1, we will hear from some of our Tending Our Soil team on what they've uncovered thus far. Then on May 15, an Outreach Forum on Afghan Refugees, followed by a program tied to special gravestone dedication for Theophilus Howard on May 22 before taking a break for summer. In-person & virtual.

Capitol Hill Restoration Society Tour |
Want a quick course in Christ Church architectural history? Christ Church will be a stop along the Capitol Hill Restoration Society House and Garden Tour May 7 & 8. We are in need of door keepers and docents to guide tour groups through the sanctuary from 4-7 p.m. Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday, divided into two shifts per day. A guide to our artifacts and architecture will be provided in advance of the event. This is a fun way to meet the Capitol Hill community, and provide a little PR for our wonderful parish. Please contact Nancy Metzger if interested.

So much Outreach goodness happening on May 15: First, there will be a special forum at 10 a.m. highlighting our assistance to Afghan refugees, including additional information on the family we are assisting in partnership with St Mark's. Next, at 12:45 p.m., there will be an Outreach meeting to discuss our spring and summer activities. All are invited to attend, and to bring ideas to strengthen our program. |

Afghan Family Support Update |
This has been a big week for Bilal, Benafsha and their two boys, as well as the St Mark’s/Christ Church partnership group. All have been consumed with readying the family’s new apartment for move-in this week! Furniture has been collected and delivered, and set-up in good order. Volunteers have obtained kitchen and cleaning supplies, linens and towels, and two weeks-worth of food. With the family finally in their own place, there will be more time and space to help Benafsha and the boys with English acquisition, and to help the family get to know and enjoy the Washington region. If you are interested in spending time with our Afghan family, contact Sherry Saunders for more information.
