All are welcome to a Lectio Divina Bible Study, where we will meditate on scripture and learn from the reflections received from Bishop Simon from the Episcopal Diocese of Renk. Via email, our Diocesan partner friends from around the globe have shared their insights on the same scripture passage, providing Christ Church with a special opportunity to deepen faith with a new, contextual lens. Attendance can be in person or on Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3918932064   Contact Rev. Cynthia via email with any questions.

A prayer service to  remember and celebrate our loved ones whether they were interred at Christ Church over the past year (Nov '24 to Oct '25), or have been interred at another time in another location.

Family members are encouraged to participate, and if present will be invited to place candles on the final resting place of their loved ones. For families who are unable to attend, our youth will assist with placing candles on their behalf. 

After the prayer service and candles being placed, all are invited to share apple cider and soul cakes (small round cakes - more like a cookie - that are made for All Souls' Day as part of an old English tradition that celebrates and commemorates those who have died).

Sign up here.

Contact Wendy for details: wendy@christchurchwinnetka.org or (312) 725-3897.

Join us for a morning of history, visual imagery and art as Rev. Cynthia and Chicago-based artist Marcia Whitney present a creative take on the Cloud of Witnesses. The two will delve into the history of several female saints, as well as how they have been depicted over the years to include Whitney’s current artistic process. How did these saints inspire and continue to inspire us today? As we grow in our understanding of  who they are, does visual art enhance our inspiration?

For more information, please contact Rev. TJ.

Confirmation is a two-year program designed for youth in grades seven and eight where they explore their relationship with themselves, each other, the Church, and God. The youth will delve into the overarching theme of the Church’s Tradition as they seek to understand how and why Episcopalians worship the way we do. Accompanied by faithful adult mentors, confirmands will be encouraged to learn about their faith by asking questions and openly expressing doubts. There will be opportunities for large group discussions as well as small group reflections, giving the confirmands opportunities to create meaningful relationships with their peers and their adult mentors.

For more information, please contact Wendy.

End your day in prayer and peace with our Youth & Adult Choir as we honor all the faithful departed. This lovely candlelit service will feature beautiful traditional music for All Saints' Sunday.

For more information, please contact Richard.

We meet weekly in person and on Zoom to practice the method of Christian meditation known as Centering Prayer. After twenty minutes of silence, we discuss the practice and read the book, The Path of Centering Prayer, by David Frenette.  For information, please contact Elizabeth Clemmitt.

Our pre-Confirmation program for 5th and 6th graders meets every Wednesday for pizza, games, a bible story, and prayer. Our goal is to be a space of encouragement and positivity where everyone feels included and uplifted. For more information, please contact Melissa.

Women’s Bible Study: A Spiritual Walk with Scripture, Our Faith Tradition, and Our Lives resumes on Thursday, September 11 for 9:30-11:00 AM in the Library at the Parish House on Maple Street. The sessions will also be available on Zoom, and books may be purchased in the church office.

For the fall season, we will be studying the Gospel of John using a book/video resource by Amy-Jill Levine. Levine is a New Testament professor and scholar who describes herself as “an unorthodox member of an Orthodox Jewish synagogue and a Yankee Jewish feminist who until 2021 taught New Testament in a Christian divinity school in the buckle of the Bible Belt.”

This curriculum is described:

John’s Gospel offers readers a new language—of being born anew, of living water, of wind and spirit, of the “I am”—that enhances how we understand the divine, how we experience the world, and how we participate in the mystery of faith.

With her characteristic wit and charm, Amy-Jill Levine introduces readers to the world of the Gospel of John by unpacking the stories in their original context, along with examining how the text is read today. This book considers the Gospel of John in its entirety, moving through the Gospel and exploring the prologue, the wedding at Cana, the Samaritan woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery, the healing of the man at the pool and the man born blind, foot washing, Mary Magdalene and Doubting Thomas, and the Lamb of God.

All curious women who wish to deepen their spiritual lives and relationships with God and one another are eagerly invited to be part of this Spirited, interactive weekly gathering!

For questions or other information, please contact The Rev. Dr. Gloria Hopewell.

Join us as we recognize new members during the 9:30 a.m. service and celebrate them afterwards with a reception in the Prevost Cloister.

Led primarily on Zoom with the final session being in person, Dr. Adishian will lead us through an exploration into the theology of gratitude.

Please note: Adult Forum meetings are recorded and will be posted on our website for those who are unable to attend. If you are uncomfortable being recorded you are welcome to step out at any time.

Youth Group provides a welcoming space/time for youth in grades 7 to 12 to have fun, unwind, reflect, and serve others. It will serve as an opportunity for them to retreat from their normal routines, enjoy a meal, and have fun and fellowship with each other. There will be opportunities for off-campus fun activities (bowling, mini golf, movies, etc.) as well as offerings to use their time and talents to serve others. The focus will be on creating an environment of ‘being’, rather than on ‘doing’. For more information, please contact Wendy.
