Hellos & Goodbyes!

It's a season of transition for us all. Please join us in extending our deepest gratitude and most sincere well-wishes to our own Deacon, the Rev. Martha Jenkins, as she heads back to Kansas to be closer to family next month. Over the past two years, Deacon Martha has been a powerful addition to our Sunday worship, as well as a steadfast leader on our Outreach Committee. She will be deeply missed. We will celebrate Deacon Martha between services on Kick-off Sunday, September 8.


Even as we say goodbye, join us also in welcoming Margaret Belcher to our Children's Ministry team. Margaret (along with her husband & children) has been attending Christ Church for more than two years, and has been an active volunteer with all things children during that time. She will be a critical part of keeping our programs running during Rev. Winnie's maternity leave later this fall, so please thank her for stepping into the role when next you see her! Margaret's tenure will begin on Monday, August 12.

Save the Date: Backpack Blessing

It's hard to believe, but back-to-school time is drawing ever closer! Consider this your reminder to dig that backpack out of summer storage and bring it to church on Sunday, August 25, for our annual backpack blessing. (Adult work bags also welcome.)

And now the (former) safe room!

As promised, Kevin next set his expert sights on the room connecting the sanctuary with the parish hallway (and which formerly held the safe.)


In addition to a beautiful patch and paint job, you'll also find a board housing brand new name tags. As you come into church, please grab yours to help us build community (please try not to take them home with you! 🙏) There is also a spruced up zone with quiet kiddo activities - grab a bag or book for your littles!


Stop by to take a peek at her new look, and then let us know what we should call this space now that the safe is no more!

Outreach Partnerships

Help us help our neighbors through these outreach opportunities!

Back-to-School campaign for EHDC!

Our summer of EHDC continues with our August campaign to raise funds for their back-to-school campaign! EHDC distributes gift cards to families around the District to offset the high costs of back-to-school needs. Last year we raised more than $4,000; we already have $1,200 in pocket. Can you help us top last year's total?! Donate to the Outreach Fund here, or drop a check in the offering plate throughout August.

Keep that water coming!

With record high temperatures, Shirley's Place is flying through their water and drink supplies. Don't forget to add a flat of water to your grocery list over the coming weeks so we can keep our neighbors safe and hydrated. Thank you!


There's still space to sign up to deliver water in August - the whole process takes just 30 minutes!

Community Fellowship Group Updates

Comprised of parishioners as well as other Capitol Hill neighbors, the below groups offer opportunities to engage with our neighbors around shared interests.

Friday Night Film Group

Join us via Zoom on Friday, August 9, at 7 p.m. to discuss Witness for the Prosecution (1957), an Agatha Christie-based courtroom murder mystery, a classic film that is surprisingly light hearted, starring Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. Free on Tubi. For more information contact Paul Laymon or Ellen Psychas

Sermon Spotlight

"I am not merely satiated; I am FULL." Hear Rev. Winnie remind us that the bread of life we consume each Sunday around our altar does so much more to fill us than any earthly consumption ever could.


Past sermons are always on our website.
