Join us at 9 a.m. or 11 a.m.* this Sunday in our historic sanctuary as we mark the fourth Sunday of Easter with a visit from the Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. Bishop Budde will preach at both services, and we promise you won't want to miss her inspiring words!

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 High School Youth Group will meet in the Library.

Thanks again to all of you who supported our St. Pat's campaign to improve welcome and connection this year. We hope you'll stop in to see some updates to our library (more to come!), and please pardon our dust while we begin to make more improvements in various community spaces over the coming months!

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 19 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.

Please meet at 10:05 a.m. in the parish hall this Sunday, April 21, for a group photo - we will be quick, and families welcome. Christ Church is being highlighted by Calvary during Volunteer Appreciation Week! We would love to include a group photo to highlight the amazing work so many of you have done for Calvary. All cooks, delivery persons, donors, etc. - past and present! - are encouraged to join.

Many thanks to Rachel Pollock, Beth Mullin, Rev. Martha Jenkins, Sandy Hussey and Valerie Tracey who answered our call to support Migrant Respite on April 18. If you can help in May or June, 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 Barbie (2023), written and directed by Greta Gerwig, starring Margot Robbie as a Barbie searching for her version of Kansas. Widely available to rent and stream. For more information contact Paul Laymon or Ellen Psychas.
