A reception will follow. Do join us… and bring a friend.

Women’s Bible Study: All women of the parish and their guests are invited to participate in an exploration of the Book of Exodus, a captivating and poetic narrative that tells the story of God’s liberation of his people from slavery in Egypt and his gift of the law at Mount Sinai. The group will meet on Tuesdays, May 6 and 13, and June 10, at 6:00 p.m., in Keith Hall. Those who are unable to attend in person are welcome to participate virtually. For more information, contact Deacon Tiffany Clark.

Sessions will take place on Thursdays, May 8 and 22, and June 5, at 8:00 a.m., in Keith Hall. Preparation for discussions is beneficial, but not essential.
Feeding Ministry: Christ Church’s Feeding Ministry will next provide a meal to those in need on Sunday, May 11. Parishioners of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate.

Wind Down Wednesday: On the second Wednesday of each month, the women of Christ Church are invited to join members of the clergy and staff, and fellow parishioners for food, beverages, and the opportunity to create lasting bonds amidst the busyness of everyday life.

Confirmation and Reception: Saturday, May 10, 10:00 a.m. at the National Cathedral. The Rector will be presenting 15 Christ Church parishioners for confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church. All are welcome and encouraged to come and support those who are making this next step of faith and commitment.
Christ Church Career Connections: Conscious that many in the DC metro area may be between jobs, the clergy have revived a program that aims to connect job seekers with potential employers. If you are looking for work, or know someone who is, Christ Church offers the opportunity to submit your resume to a confidential file. Those looking to hire can request access to relevant resumes and CVs. While we won’t list names publicly, we will share the areas in which people are seeking employment. Whether you’re job hunting or hiring, starting close to home might be a great option. To participate, send your resume and contact the Rector.
If you are looking for people or know of someone who is, we currently have people interested in the following areas; Grant Making, Philanthropic Advice, Non-Profit Management, Broadcast Journalist/ production, Media, Intl/ Gov affairs/ coms / public policy, National Security/ Crisis Management, HR, Project Management, Government Affairs/ Lobbying, Editing/Admin/Research/Writing, Paralegal or Legal Assistant, and IT.
Christ Church Career Connections is a ministry dedicated to supporting parishioners and those they would vouch for in seasons of vocational transition. Through networking, mentorship, prayer, and practical resources, we walk alongside one another in the search for meaningful work and purpose.
