Pack a Bag to Go
After both services
 Service Ministry is the sponsor for this Sunday's Blessings in a Bag event. After services visit the packing station and collect non-perishable snacks to keep in your car. Reach out to someone you encounter during your day.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in -
Matthew 25:35

Season of Prayer
Specifically for three things
 Our bishop-elect, the Rev. Canon Susan Brown Snook, invites everyone in the diocese into a season of prayer from Sunday, May 26 through Sunday, June 16. Throughout these 15 days of prayer, she encourages you to gather in your faith community, in the places where you work, live and worship, and within your own heart, to call upon the Holy Spirit to pour out God's grace and love on our diocese.
Here in the Diocese of San Diego, you are invited to pray specifically for three things:
- Growth in discipleship: that all Episcopalians in our diocese should grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ through worship, learning, and service to others.
- Evangelism: that those in our churches, neighborhoods, and communities whose lives would be enriched by the good news of Christ would hear that good news.
- Serving our neighbors: that God's mission in our communities would be empowered as we go out into our neighborhoods, meet the people who are there, become acquainted with their needs, hopes, and longings, and discern our own ministries of service there.
There are wonderful resources available on the diocesan website - prayers, scripture, volunteer opportunities, an evangelism toolkit, and more.

Let's Celebrate on Pentecost
It's the church's birthday!
Pentecost is a rich and full day at Christ Church - t
he day when God made church - fire and wind and doves just a few of the things we associate with the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the Church. Join us at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to remember the day that God created the Church and to be inspired as to how God can continue to use our gifts to further Christ's ministry.
Oh, and we'll also have a yummy
BBQ lunch for one and all, a
bounce-house for the little ones, and, of course, Rev. Anne's now famous
"mile-long" banana split. Wear your
best red outfit and we'll see you there!

Self Compassion &Yoga Retreat
Be in the Moment
 A unique opportunity awaits at a two-day retreat focused on "compassionate self care" led by Heather Smith, a Yoga Alliance Certified trainer and certified Boundless Compassion facilitator. You may recognize Heather Smith as the long-time face of outreach programs at St. Mark's, City Heights.
The goal of the Self Compassion & Yoga Retreat is to help us recognize how our attitude and approach to self affects our ability to be a compassionate presence with and for others. We will explore what it means to be compassionate toward oneself, become aware of the continuum of compassion fatigue and strategize plans for compassionate self care.
Join Heather July 12-13 at Christ Church for this unique opportunity. Registration is open now. Space is limited to 25 participants. Early Bird Registration ($65) ends May 30th and price increases to $80.
