THIS WEEK AT CHRIST CHURCH, GEORGETOWN
Wednesday, July 15, 2026
| |
| Weekday Services: Weekday services in the Chapel of Saint Jude – both Morning Prayer and the Holy Eucharist – have been suspended for the summer. They will resume on Monday, September 14.
Vacation Bible School: Calling all children ages 3 through 11! This year’s Vacation Bible School, a unique opportunity to deepen faith and friendship, will take place Monday, August 10 through Friday, August 14, in Linthicum Hall. It will be led by Father Andrew Stump and a team of dedicated volunteer counselors. Campers will explore the life and lessons of Jesus through Bible study, prayer, song, art, science, and play. For more information or to register, click here. Interested in helping out with VBS? Contact Father Andrew.
Thrift Shop Update: The Thrift Shop Guild offers sincere thanks to parishioners and members of the wider community who have supported its efforts throughout the 2025-2026 season. This year’s profits far surpassed those of previous years, thus enabling significant charitable contributions to various mission partners. The Thrift Shop is now closed for the summer. It will reopen in mid-September. Because inventory has reached a critical low, the Thrift Shop Guild seeks donations of unused or unwanted treasures at this time: clothing, jewelry, antiques, china, glassware, household items, etc. Throughout the summer, donations will be accepted by appointment at the Parish Office.

| 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 is provided during this time. For more information, contact parishioners Julia Ainsley, Megan Murton, or Matthew Fredericks.
Centering Prayer: Tuesday morning Centering Prayer, held weekly, is on pause for the remainder of the summer. Watch for this community-led contemplative prayer offering to return in September. 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 Group at Christ Church, as well as the organization of a dinner on Veterans Day, November 11. If you are a veteran or an active-duty member of the military, and would like to be part of the conversation, Please email us 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.
