Feeding Ministry: Christ Church’s Feeding Ministry will next provide a meal to those in need on Sunday, June 14. Parishioners of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate. Volunteers prepare food and clean up in the Keith Hall kitchen from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. Grate Patrol volunteers then partner with the Salvation Army to deliver and serve the food from 6:15 to 8:00 p.m. To volunteer, sign up here.
America250 Closing Celebration: Christ Church’s observance of America250 will conclude on Sunday, June 28 with a special service of Morning Prayer at 11:15 a.m. The liturgy will include patriotic music and prayers for the nation.

| Office Volunteers: Throughout the year, there are occasions when the staff is away or have tasks that do not allow them to answer the phone and welcome visitors to our facility. If you have a welcoming smile and enjoy answering the phone with a friendly voice, Christ Church would be glad to have your help. Please contact Tonika Hilliard, Christine Emery, or Duane Roth in the church office to have your name added to the list. You will be contacted by email when there is a need.
Bite-sized Bible Study: Join fellow parents of nursery and Sunday School-aged children for a team-led, 30-minute exploration of the Book of Acts. The group gathers on Sundays, at 10:15 a.m., in the Memorial Room. Nursery care for infants and toddlers, as well as music formation classes for older children, is provided during this time. For more information, contact parishioners Julia Ainsley, Megan Murton, or Matthew Fredericks.
Centering Prayer: All are invited to participate in a weekly, community-led time of centering prayer and Lectio Divina on Tuesdays, from 8:45 to 9:30 a.m., via Zoom. Drawn from the monastic tradition, these practices offer an intentional way for individuals to make themselves available to God, acknowledging that “we do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us.” Join the video call here. For more information, contact parishioners Molly Peacock or Lesley Lilly: 713.805.5889.
Calling all Veterans and Active Duty Parishioners: The Rector and other parish leaders are considering the formation of a Veterans Affinity Mission Group at Christ Church, as well as the organization of a special dinner on Veterans Day, November 11. If you are a veteran or an active duty member of the military, and would like to be a part of the conversation, Please email us here.
Thrift Shop Update: The Christ Church Thrift Shop, located on the Lower Level of Linthicum Hall, is in dire need of your assistance as inventory has reached a critical low. Please consider donating your unused or unwanted treasures at this time: clothing, jewelry, antiques, china, glassware, household items, etc. The Thrift Shop is open on Wednesdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Donations are accepted on Wednesdays during the Thrift Shop’s normal hours of operation or by appointment via the Parish Office. Thrift Shop volunteers have begun offering a home pick-up service on Sundays for those who live within one mile of Christ Church. To schedule an appointment, email here.
Altar Flowers: If you would like to make a contribution to help offset the cost of the flowers that will adorn the altar on a particular Sunday or feast day, contact the Parish Office. The Flower Guild accepts contributions in memory of the departed, in celebration of births, and in thanksgiving for the reception of Christian sacraments. Contributions marking private secular celebrations are welcome, but they will not be acknowledged in service leaflets or the Prayers of the People. In such cases, donors are encouraged to let loved ones know of their contribution with a greeting card. The suggested donation is $150.
