Join us at 7 pm on Zoom as Medieval Mystics proudly hosts the early music performance specialist and church member Allison Mondel, who will be performing the music of 12th c. German mystic Hildegard von Bingen!  Come learn about and meditate on the life and music of this visionary, composer, and author of books on theology, science and medicine. It's only recently that her songs, writings and remarkable life and visions have been rediscovered. Born over 900 years ago, she lived most of her 80-plus years in an obscure hilltop monastery in the Rhineland. This remarkable woman left behind a treasure-trove of illuminated manuscripts, scholarly writings and songs written for her nuns to sing at their devotions. Don’t miss it! Questions?

Beginning the first week of September Christ Church is offering an adult and youth inquirers course for an opportunity to reflect on your spiritual journey. This course is designed for adults and youth interested in learning more about Episcopal traditions and how they can inform and transform your and faith. This course is also for anyone considering adult or youth baptism or confirmation.

The fall confirmation service is on November 13^th at the Washington National Cathedral. 

The adults will be using Rev. Jenifer Gamber's book, Your Life, Your Faith: Invitation to the Episcopal Church,  and the youth will use her book, My Faith, My Life: Revised Edition: A Teen's Guide to the Episcopal Church. 

Please reach out to Rev. Emily Guthrie, emily@ccpk.org, Rev. Hope Christensen (hope@ccpk.org) or Lee Puricelli (leepuricelli@yahoo.com) with any questions, your interest in the course, and with the days and times that work best for you- we look forward to hearing from you! 

Our hard-working Outreach team continues their efforts throughout the summer. Here are a few ways you can help:

We are working with our partners at Linkages to Learning to support families in the Arcola community with donations of toiletries this summer. The last toiletry delivery will be August 13, so please bring your donations to the church by August 11. Donations of all types of toiletries are welcome - full size items are ideal since these are going to families with children.

The Outreach team is continuing to collect donations for volcano relief in St. Vincent, working in partnership with St. John's Anglican Episcopal Church in Mt. Ranier, where they are coordinating the delivery of goods to St.Vincent. Click Here for details on needed items.
