As a part of the Mission Conference with Chris Wright, our regular 5pm Sunday service on January 16th will be held at National Baptist Memorial Church at 1501 Columbia Rd, NW.  We will not be at Christ Our Shepherd Church that day.

Our Christmas Eve Service will take place on Friday, December 24 at 4 pm at Christ our Shepherd Church. No child care will be available, but the service will last about one hour with a short homily suitable for children.

The Porch is a multi-church Christian youth group on Capitol Hill, serving any and all kids who will come, including many marginalized and at-risk teenagers. During the season of Advent this year, our church will be collecting a special seasonal offering on behalf of the Porch. Whatever we raise during this season will be matched…

In place of our usual service of Holy Communion, next Sunday, December 12 will be a traditional Christmas Lessons and Carols service.  The sermon will be shorter, and appropriate for people who are not Christians.  Please invite your friends and neighbors!  For the potluck, please bring a dessert or an hors d’oeuvre to share.

Each month we offer a dinner for newcomers.  It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the church and meet new people.  The next one will be on Friday, December 3 at 7pm.  To RSVP, contact Sarah, sarahtheadventurer[AT]gmail(DOT)com.

Bishop Terrell Glenn will be our preacher next Sunday, November 28.  We will also be joined by the Church of the Incarnation from Harrisonburg, VA.  During the service, Bishop Glenn will ordain their new pastor, Dr. Aubrey Spears.  All are invited to stay for dinner immediately afterwards, which will be provided by Incarnation.
