Join us at 9 a.m. or 11 a.m.* this Sunday in our historic sanctuary as we mark the third Sunday of Easter, and welcome our new Associate Rector, the Rev. Winnie Smith Cavanaugh! We hope to see you at whatever service fits your schedule this weekend. 

Please stay or join us at 10 a.m. for a celebratory welcome to and introduction of Rev. Winnie!

*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.

Jack Jacobs - the CC+WP Minister of Music in the 1980s, and a beloved member of our community - passed away in February, along with his longtime spouse, Matthew Hall. Join us for their funeral tomorrow, April 12, at 11 a.m., followed by burial at Congressional Cemetery, and a reception here in the parish hall.

You won't want to miss church next Sunday, 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.

Our Children and Youth Choir returns this Spring, under the brilliant direction of Rachel Pollock, to sing a few songs during our Pentecost service. Once again, the choir is open for kids and youth grades 2-8. Everyone is welcome! Stronger singers may be invited to sing a solo as well. To sign up, use this online form. Rehearsals will be Thursdays in May (2, 9, & 16) from 5:30-7 p.m. (pizza provided!), with the performance Sunday, May 17 at 9 a.m.

Are you an 11 a.m. regular? If so, please consider selecting a Sunday to host Fellowship Hour following the service. There is wide-open availability, and you know this crowd loves snacks!

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.

On Sunday, April 21, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., head over to Congressional Cemetery for their free book festival. Come ready to meet, shop and engage with a diverse array of authors, artists, crafts people, art and literary organizations, as well as local artisanal bakers and distillers.

Have you helped out at migrant night before? If you have - or even if you haven't! - we'd love to welcome you back next Thursday, April 18. A few regular volunteers will be away this coming week, so we'd love to have another CC+WP volunteer on hand. If you can help, please sign up here!

Save the date of Sunday, April 28, for a very special Outreach Forum at 10 a.m.! We will be joined by folks from Bishop Walker School, who will introduce us to and outline for us their various volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Please join us and show support for this great Outreach partner!

Join us in-person on Friday, 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. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses were great leaders, of course, but they were all members of families, shaped by family dynamics as much as anyone today. What if they turned to family therapists to help them through their challenges? Barbara Laymon uses the lens of therapy to reveal new insights into familiar Bible stories. Come for a light supper at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall; program begins at 7 p.m. 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.
