Our 2023 Annual Meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Sunday, February 12, in the Parish Hall (& via Zoom.) If you can make it, please do! In preparation, please take a look at the following:

• 2023 Voting Member list. While we count all of you as integral parts of our community, Diocesan guidelines dictate that only active baptized members over the age of 16 may vote at the annual meeting. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jordan.
• Biographies of the proposed 2023 Vestry class. Thanks to the illustrious parishioners who have offered to engage more deeply in church affairs as Vestry members. We will vote on the class during our meeting.
• Committee Charters (CORRECTED!) These charters, written by our three committees & approved by our Vestry in 2022, will govern the Finance, Outreach & Property committees moving forward, and increase transparency about each.

Our own Rev. John Kellogg was recently tapped by Bishop Mariann Budde to serve as the Dean of South DC! In 2016, the Diocese voted itself into a new structure comprised of eight distinct regions. Each is headed by a Regional Dean - appointed by the bishop - who will regularly gather the other clergy of the diocese for collegiality, collaboration, and continued learning. In addition to his duties here at Christ Church, Rev. John now serves as an adjunct member of diocesan staff, reporting directly to the Canon for Congregational Vitality. The next time you see him, offer your congratulations for this true vote of confidence from our bishop!

Christ Church currently has three advisory committees: Finance, Outreach, & Property. If you are interested in serving on one of these, please consider filling out this short application. Our nominating committee will carefully consider all candidates, with an eye towards strong interest, valuable perspectives, & community representation. All parishioners are welcome to apply!
