Christ Church Nativity Display

The Christ Church Nativities will be on display in the parish hall window bays through January 1. They have been gifted to our community by parishioners over the years, and depict the birth of Jesus from cultures around the world.

End-of-year Giving

In this season of gratitude and anticipation, we invite you to prayerfully explore whether your 2022 pledge was made at a level that still feels right to you. If not, we ask that you consider CC+WP as you determine end-of-year giving, either through the offering plate, stock, or other means. Our community exists thanks to your generosity, and we are deeply grateful.

Outreach: Service to the Community

Holiday Gifts for the Stanikzai's!

The Christ Church + Capitol Hill Community Quilters made a quilt for baby Sedra, and the Outreach team provided backpacks filled with educational toys and games for big brothers, Yusuf and Tayyib. The Stanikzai family is doing well and is looking forward to another opportunity to visit with folks from Christ Church and St. Mark's in January.
