Spiritual Growth & Reflection

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

Join us for small group conversations about faith and spiritual development.

Topic for May 16, facilitated by Andrea McGray:

Jesus' Resurrection. How do you think Jesus' followers felt when they met him after he died and rose again? What does Jesus's resurrection mean for how you relate to death? What does it mean for how you relate to life? What is the message you think the risen Jesus wants you personally to take into the world? 

Topic for May 23, facilitated by Dwight Allen:

Your favorite people & events of interest in the Bible. The person can be someone you’d like to know more about, not necessarily your very most favorite person. S/he can be a real person or someone depicted in a parable. Or share an event or occasion you would like to visit if you had a time machine; it might or might not involve the person of interest. How does this person(s) or event relate to your faith?

Come join the conversation on Zoom (password = 20895)! Questions? Email grow@ccpk.org. 

Join us 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.

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.

David Lucas, an estate planning attorney will present an overview of what you should consider when contemplating your estate plan, followed by a question and answer session. Just information – no solicitation. Refreshments will be served, and bring a note pad to jot down information.

*What is "estate planning"? click here or on the image above for a simple overview. Important steps to take to prepare for when you are incapactated or at the time of your death. Wills, guardians for your children, trusts...

Since the Russian invasion, St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Silver Spring, thanks to a massive volunteer effort, has sent truckloads of crucial humanitarian help, including medical supplies, to Ukraine. Father Volodymyr Steliac (known as Father V), St. Andrew's spiritual leader, works directly with contacts in Ukraine, including the Ukrainian government, to determine needs and then provide essential aid. To take a tour with Father V of their work to date, go to https://youtu.be/yL12GhMUaqI .

The urgent need now is for donations to buy ambulances for Ukraine.   Members of St. John’s Church Norwood are helping to raise money for St. Andrew's, toward the purchase and shipping of four ambulances. The total cost is approximately $80,000. If you would like to donate toward this cause, go to https://stjohnsnorwood.breezechms.com/give/online (be sure to choose “Humanitarian Relief for Ukraine” from the drop-down list of funds to designate your gift). All gifts will go toward this cause, are tax-deductible, and will be acknowledged. You can also donate directly to St Andrew’s at https://www.standrewuoc.org/ but you may not get a receipt. 

Episcopal Relief & Development is partnering with the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe to help local congregations throughout Europe provide assistance to Ukrainian refugees. Read the full press release about this partnership in last Saturday's Connections email, or visit https://www.episcopalrelief.org/ for more information, including how to contribute to ERD's Ukraine Emergency Response Fund.

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.
