Kensington Cares for CareGivers:
Upcoming Gatherings
“Spiritual, Physical and Emotional Self Care” on Wed evening, Feb 12. If you’re a caregiver, you know it is incredibly difficult to tend to your needs as well as your loved one’s. Gather with others to hear about resources and share experiences with one another. The March topic will be “Medical Cannabis: A Physician’s Perspective” with Dr. Matthew Mintz. Open to all.
Looking for a few good leaders!
The vestry nominating committee is looking for good recruits for the annual vestry elections this February. We are looking for interested members of the congregation, who can commit to meeting once a month to make decisions affecting the whole community. Serving on the vestry is the best way to fully understand the workings of our parish church. Let the wardens know (
wardens@ccpk.org
) about your interest in serving!
Vision 2020 Update:
At a recent coffee hour in November, the Vision Team presented preliminary information on 4 projects through which the Christ Church community can put Love into Action in 2020: Conversation Cafes (convening conversations about faith and life here at CC), Green Group (digging into creation care), Host a Refugee Family (assisting a refugee family settle in the area), and Laundry Love (connecting with neighbors in Silver Spring or Wheaton). Following the group presentation, table conversations about the four projects revealed that there is, in fact, the passion for these ministries amongst the congregation that the Vision Team imagined there would be!
We are now moving forward on these four projects, with brainstorming and organizing meetings starting to happen. The object of these meetings is to generate further ideas as to how we gain traction on these projects, share any prior experiences of, wisdom about, or expertise on these types of ministry, determine what questions need to be answered, and identify who will spearhead the projects going forward.
Contact information for the Vision Team
members charged with getting these projects to their next step is listed below. Please be in touch with them if you would like to be included in future communications and/or attend the upcoming meetings specific to these projects!
Many thanks to everyone who has expressed their interest and participated thus far! We're excited to move forward with these projects in the New Year as we put Love into Action!
