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

Faith and Foreign Policy: Join us on Monday, May 12, at 6:30 p.m., for the next Faith and Foreign Policy Forum. Our speaker is parishioner and retired career foreign service officer Matt Boyse. He was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs overseeing U.S. policy toward Central Europe and the Office of the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues. He is now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and teaches at SAIS Johns Hopkins and George Washington universities. Matt will make opening remarks on the church and religion in Germany today and lessons for the future. The Rector will open the session and parishioner Bill Courtney will moderate the discussion. Light refreshments will be served. If you wish to participate, register here.
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.
