"This call story shows us how to be in mutual relationship with God and how God's dream for us is to live in community, both with God and each other."

This call story captured the imagination of Caravaggio, in "The Calling of St. Matthew."

Walk the Labyrinth | June 6 | Auditorium
The Labyrinth is a medieval Christian practice that provides a guided pattern for walking prayer. It is a metaphor for the spiritual journey; an opportunity for physically-guided meditation and a way to deepen and amplify your worship experience wherever you are on your journey of faith. If you long for a moment’s peace and quiet; if you seek an alternative path to prayer and meditation; if you’re curious and seeking, then come and walk with us. Available until 12 pm ET today.

A new forum series and a book launch happening this Sunday!

De-Clobber: A Bible Study About Our Least Favorite Bible Verses
9:00 a.m. | Meade Room
Human sexuality dominates theological conversations in some spheres of Christianity. But these arguments are based off a mere six verses of scripture – the so-called clobber passages – that probably don't mean what we've been told they mean. Join Robbie as he de-clobbers these verses by examining their broader literary context and in light of God's unbounded love for all God's children, made in the image of God.

Book Launch: God and The Generals
11:30 a.m. | Churchyard
Parishioner Charleen Smith-Riedel is excited to announce the publication of her book on the history of Christ Church, God and The Generals. The Gift Shop will have copies for purchase and Charleen will be available to sign and answer questions during coffee hour. We hope to be outside if the weather cooperates, in the Meade Room if not.
