Christ Church Episcopal
Our faith teaches us that our departed loved ones are always close to us
This Sunday is All Saints' Sunday where we remember with love the great cloud of witnesses that have preceded us in Glory. Gather for worship at 9 AM and 11 AM for this special day in the life of our church family.
Mission Highlight for November: FeedMore
Our partners at FeedMore, Central VA's largest food bank, depend on the generosity of our church to help stock the shelves with non-perishable foods. Jesus said, "When I was hungry, you fed me," for when we serve the marginalized in our community, we serve Jesus.

Two Ways to Fill Hungry Bellies

#1) CASH COLLECTION | Any loose cash placed in the offering basket this Sunday will be donated to FeedMore, so check those hidey-holes or swing by the ATM on your way to church.

#2) FOOD DRIVE | Save the image below on your phone to shop for most-need items.
New! Small Group for Parents
Are you looking for connection and support during the season of raising children? At CCE, we want to help provide a supportive community where we grow and learn together. Small groups are a great way to experience life with others who are on a similar path.

Please consider joining us for a Parents' Small Group interest session on November 18 at 3 p.m. This will be an introduction to small group ministry for parents of young children with good conversation, light snacks, and fun for the kids. The gathering will be at the home of Brian and Jacki Vitiello and childcare will be available.
Two special events honoring our Preschool staff
November 12, 9 & 11 AM: Commissioning Emily McKinney

Join us in worship as we commission preschool director Emily McKinney, whose joyful leadership has blessed the CCE Preschool since August.
November 19 at 11 AM: Honoring Cheri Erk

Gather to recognize Cheri Erk's lasting impact on the lives of children and their families in her 18 years as Director of the CCE Preschool. You are also invited to make a financial gift in honor of her tremendous ministry. (Gifts are not tax deductible.) After worship, we will gather for a reception in Cheri's honor.
Consider being part of a special Advent Quiet Day with Sara Vale and Father Ken Malcolm
Quiet Days help us experience God as we enter the spiritually rich Advent season, and to disconnect from the "busyness" of December. All are welcome to gather at the beautiful Roslyn Retreat Center on Saturday, December 9, with Sara Vale as she leads meditations to help hear the voice of God through the noise of the holiday season. We will close with a celebration of Holy Eucharist in the Chapel with Father Ken Malcolm. This is a day to quiet your heart to prepare to receive the coming of Christ at Christmas.
