This Sunday, join us between services for our monthly intergenerational ministry. Together we will make and package 100+ lunches for our unhoused neighbors.

As cemetery owner, Christ Church is allotted five spots annually. If interested, please let us know ASAP. (Annual dues and regulations are the responsibility of each member.)

Join us tomorrow - Friday, December 2 - to discuss 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. Join us via Zoom at 7 p.m. Questions? Contact Sandy Hussey. Then get started on the new January selection: A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet.

As we prepare for the greening of our church ahead of Christmas, it is the tradition of Christ Church to accept financial donations in support of these efforts - often in honor of someone/something or in memory of someone no longer with us. If you would like to donate, please simply choose "Christmas Flowers" from the dropdown menu here, and be sure to write the full dedication in the memo line of the donation before December 12.

If interested in a more contemplative and quiet service during this Advent season, please join us for our morning service on Wednesday, December 14, at 7:30 a.m. Rev. Katie will lead us in a thoughtful and healing service with time for reflection.

Join members of the Christ Church Choir at the Eastern Market Metro Plaza at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 15, for joyful holiday caroling in the community! All are welcome to join (& sing!)

The movie group is off this week but join us Friday, December 9, at 7 p.m. to discuss The Martian (2015), starring Matt Damon as a wise cracking botanist stranded on Mars. Then join us December 16 - for our last meeting of the year - to discuss twin holiday romantic movies: The Shop Around the Corner (1940) and You’ve Got Mail (1998). Contact Paul Laymon with questions, or simply join via Zoom on Friday. 

Sunday is the last day to drop off toys for families of individuals dealing with recovery from addictions. Look for the red toy box in the Outreach Donation corner on your way to the Parish Hall. If you are interested in helping us turn November's financial donations into toys next week, please contact Carol Knight.

Newly arrived refugee children have the advantage of attending public school, but with minimal additional English classes, they often struggle to understand instruction and keep up with their work. A personal tutor would greatly increase their English proficiency, and in turn help in their other classes. The St. Mark's/CC+WP partnership have found an Afghan family seeking assistance, living in a Maryland apartment complex (Calvert Hall) just 15 minutes from Capitol Hill. If you think you can help, please contact our St Mark's partners Lucy Brown or Barbara Beyna. They can provide further detail and arrange a meeting with the family, now or in the new year.
