Appalachia Service Trip

  • Christ Church Winnetka Parish Offices (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

This June, a team of eight missioners from Christ Church will travel to Appalachia to live out our call to love our neighbors. Their mission is practical and profound: assisting with home repairs to ensure local residences are warmer, safer, and drier. We ask for your prayers for their safety and for the community they will serve. Are you feeling called to get your hands dirty and make a difference? We are still looking for additional hands. Contact Wendy if interested.

Adult Forum: The Virtues & Vices of AI in Pop Culture

Adult Forum: The Virtues & Vices of AI in Pop Culture

Frank Herbert's Dune universe is built on a galaxy-wide prohibition against “thinking machines.” What emerged to replace them is a strict but wise philosophy of what it means to be human: embodied, discerning, and capable of making genuine choices. In our final two gatherings, we'll explore Herbert’s demanding vision of human capacity, what happens when we artificially constrain it, and practices for reclaiming freedom on a daily basis and throughout our journeys as human beings and disciples.

For more information, please contact Rev. TJ.

Youth Group: End of Year Celebration

Youth Group: End of Year Celebration

All youth in Grades 7 to 12 are invited to join us for year-end laser tag fun and pizza party.

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.
