This Sunday, we will celebrate the poetry part of our worship tradition: Psalm 23 (See link below.). We will hear David’s beautiful description of God as a loving shepherd. Using repetition and visuals, we will help one another learn verses 1 and 2. The worship bulletins celebrate Sunday’s Gospel which we will hear at our 10 AM Holy Eucharist. Children always enjoy hearing Jesus tell that He is the The Good Shepherd. Please email Ann if you need the password-protected Zoom information.

We continue to welcome you back to in-person worship at Christ Episcopal Church in Kensington. Sign ups for 10:00 a.m. services on April 25, May 2, May 9, and May 16 are now open. Click the green button below to link to the sign- up form. In order to comply with local and diocesan guidelines for health and safety, and with our own concerns for the health and safety of our parishioners, at this time we are limiting attendance to 35 people per service.

Before attending any in person service, the Episcopal Diocese of Washington requires that everyone sign the EDOW Covenant for Regathering, which can be filled out online here:

You only need to fill this form out once, so if you have previously submitted the form you need not do so again.

We have asked that you sign up for no more than two weeks out of the four weeks currently available for sign up. However, we recognize that especially in these early weeks, there may be a few slots unclaimed. After 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays, sign up is open to all for the following morning's service, even those who are already signed up for two additional upcoming services. Please check back Saturday evening to see if there are last-minute spaces available, and thanks for your patience as we work to assure that everyone who wants to attend in person has a chance to do so!

If you have any questions, please contact the office at administrator@ccpk.org or 301-942-4673.  

APRIL OUTREACH MISSION: Heifer Int'l.

Christ Church Sunday School has been supporting the mission of Heifer International for over 20 years. Heifer’s mission is to “Pass the Gift”. Your donations to Heifer by feeding Agnes the Lamb (see photo!) grazing on the Outreach table, or this year, on Realm, provides not only breeding animals, but education, seeds and even bees to families and villages.

For example, if we are able to fund a donation of a pair of lambs to a family who lives somewhere like Kenya, Guatemala or Appalachia, a family cares for the lambs and raises them to become adult sheep. The sheep will produce lambs and wool. As the sheep flock grows, then the family can “Pass the Gift” of a lamb or wool to another family.

In the past, we have been able to fund ducks, chickens, cows, lambs, seeds and even bees!

To help us support Heifer International's work, click the button below to Feed Agnes with an online donation through Realm, or send a check to the church with "Heifer" in the memo line. Thank you!

This Spring, the Sunday Afternoon Bible Study will focus on three books in the Bible that tell the stories of women. We will encounter two women from the Hebrew Scriptures, Ruth and Esther, and one from the Apocrypha, Judith. We meet (almost) every Sunday at 4 pm on Zoom, link below, to read the books aloud and discuss. No preparation is needed, and you are welcome to drop in at any point in the series. If you have questions, contact leepuricelli@yahoo.com.

As we now offer a service of Holy Eucharist every Sunday at 10:00 a.m., we are shifting our process for those who will be taking communion at home while watching the online service. The pre-consecrated communion cups may now be picked up from the church office Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. And between 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. You are welcome to pick up enough cups for several weeks, for your convenience. If you need to pick up at a different time, or would like to have communion cups delivered to your home, please contact the office or request delivery using the form linked below.
