Join us at 9 a.m. or 11 a.m.* this Sunday in our historic sanctuary as we mark the second Sunday of Easter. We hope to see you at whatever service fits your schedule this weekend. 

*11 a.m. service also live-streamed. By entering the church at 11 a.m., you consent to being filmed, as well as its release as desired by CC+WP. More information linked below.

Additional worship information & livestream links here.

Nursery Care is available as usual from 8:45 a.m.-12:15 p.m. in the nursery off of the parish hall, and Children's Chapel is on during the 9 a.m. service. Sunday School for bigs and littles will meet at 10 a.m., and the Middle School Youth Group will gather in service to lead the lunch-making ministry this week!

Join us at 10 a.m. for this intergenerational outreach ministry on the first Sunday of every month as we prepare 100 bagged lunches for our unhoused neighbors. Thanks to our Middles School Youth Group for leading the charge this week!

Many thanks to our Vestry members who will meet this Sunday to continue their intentional stewardship of our community. This month's agenda can be found here.

We are thrilled that the Rev'd Winnie Smith Cavanaugh will join us as Associate Rector, beginning Sunday, April 14! Winnie will be a great addition to our clergy team, and will lead formation efforts for both adults & children. Join us in two weeks as we officially welcome her to our community with a celebratory fellowship hour at 10 a.m.!

You also won't want to miss church the following week, when we will be joined by the Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. In addition to her thoughtful leadership of our whole diocese, Bishop Budde is a wonderful preacher, sure to leave each of us with a new idea for us to explore outside of church.

We love spending time in community outside of our regular worship times! To that end, here is a 2024 calendar of major dates. New this year: rather than cram four grilling sessions into July, we thought we'd spread the joy across the months! So, beginning in May, we will host a Grill & Chill every first Thursday of the month, concluding with our Grill & Thrill on Halloween. Mark the dates on your calendar, and consider dinner handled at least once a month (we know how valuable this is!)

Each worship service produces a small load of soiled liturgical linens (very similar to white handkerchiefs) that require cleaning and ironing. If you are willing to assist the Liturgists Committee in this task on a rotating basis, please contact Cynthia Thomas.

Many thanks to those of you who filled the April Outreach volunteer slots, including the Hall Family, Chris Wilson, Nancy Metzger, Linda Mellgren, Rachel Pollock, Sandy Hussey, Valerie Tracy, Beth Mullin, and the Rev. Martha Jenkins. There are ample spots to sign up for Migrant Night support, Calvary dinner-making, or providing lunch supplies in May and June!

In addition to the $8,000+ raised in support of MSMA in the first quarter of 2024, our community donated more than 120 items of clothing for their free store. The clothing has all been sorted and delivered, and the funds will be released to them shortly, supporting needed supplies for respite nights, baby formula, pre-paid cell phones, and a variety of other ongoing funding needs. Thank you all!

Join us tomorrow - Friday, April 5 - to discuss How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question by Michael Schur. Schur’s humorous and accessible guide to ethical questions is an outgrowth of his show The Good Place (he is also co-creator of Parks and Recreation.) He explores the insights of philosophers from Aristotle onward, with consulting assistance from scholars. Come for a light supper at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall; discussion begins at 7:00, in person and on Zoom. Next, join us in person on May 3 for a conversation between Bill Woodward and Barbara Laymon on her new book, All the Families of the Earth: Therapists in Bible Times. (For the May event, please RSVP to Sandy so they can get a count for dinner.)

The movie discussion group will meet on Zoom at 7 p.m. on April 12, to discuss Anatomy of a Fall (2023), the first of five 2023 Oscar nominated movies. Anatomy of a Fall is a drama, partly about a man and wife, a death, and a trial, but really about much more.  For more information contact Paul Laymon or Ellen Psychas.
