Matthew 6:33 New Years in September? If you’re looking a bit askance at this article’s title, you might be justified in thinking that “Happy New Year!” does seem a little off. After all, we usually reserve that greeting for January 1st and this is only September. Yet, if we think about it, there are several “New Years” every year. There are those that we usually note, such as the Biblical/Jewish new year of Rosh Hashanah, usually celebrated during the month of October. Or, there’s the Chinese New Year, usually celebrated in February. And, let’s not forget to mention the “New Year” of all CPAs, accountants and tax preparers, that being any time after April 15th in any given year. Of course, one big one for us, whether we think of it this way or not, is the official Church “New Year” that begins with Advent: the season when we focus our attention on the approaching birth of Jesus at Christmas. Yet, the truest “New Year” for most of us, the “emotional” one — the one that we “feel in our bones” — is right now, in September. Vacations are ending. The coming Labor Day weekend is, for many of us, the “last hurrah” of summer. Children are being prepared for school, if they are not already there. Long range plans for winter holidays and celebrations are being called into focus. There is in most of us, just now, a deep-down sense that we are at a beginning point. This is certainly true here at Christ Church. A new year really is just about to begin, and it will start, for us, with “Kick Off Sunday” on September 8th. The staff, vestry, and many volunteers are making sure that all is ready. Lots of

celebrating will mark the day as our Sunday Children’s Formation and Adult Formation classes “kick” into gear. Additionally, this new year marks the 225th anniversary of Christ Church; stay tuned to the announcements and email blasts for more details about celebration(s) to commemorate this milestone. With all this, at church and in our home lives, it is no wonder that we feel this time of year to be the real time of “New Years.” It is all the more reason, then, why we can really use the advice of Jesus in Matthew 6:33 to keep our lives in focus and our commitments in perspective. “Seek first the reign of God, and God’s righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Or as I like to paraphrase it, “Put your relationship with God and God’s priorities for your life first, and everything else good you need, and plan for, and hope for, and long to see come true, will fall into place for you.” (continued on page 2)

(continued from page 1) This is a great promise. Jesus is saying that if we will focus our life on what God wants us to do and to be, then all of these “New Years” hopes, which can so easily become mid-year worries and end-year non-accomplishments, will be sifted by God’s guidance, and the very best of it all and more will get sorted and accom-plished for us. Our life’s work is not the accomplishment of “all these things.” Rather, our life’s work is our relationship with Jesus, our friend, companion, and guide, who, working in us as our sovereign, accomplishes “all these things” through us. Let this “New Year” be a time of promise that does not disappoint; a time of new beginning with a sure arrival. Center everything around your relationship with Jesus Christ. Taking advantage of all Christ Church has to offer will help you get and keep “all these things” centered. May this new beginning be a “Happy New Year!” for you.

Time to Focus: Updates from the Search Committee co-chairs Jean Denton and Paul Laymon

The Search Committee has met nearly every week since being formed with almost daily communication taking place. The committee has reviewed all parishioner responses from the focus groups and the online survey. That information will be summarized and published to the congregation in September.

The committee has hired a search coach who will meet with the committee September 6-7. The search coach is from the Diocese of Lexington (KY) and has coached more than 40 churches through the search process.

The committee has begun answering the 12 narrative questions which the diocese will use to create the vacancy announcement. The answers to the narrative questions are partly based on parishioner

responses to the focus groups and online survey, and essentially duplicates the parish profile used in previous searches. With the vestry’s assistance, the committee has assembled the financial information which the diocese will use to inform applicants about salary, pension, health care, and housing.

Our goal is for the diocese to post the vacancy announcement by October 15. Applications will be accepted for eight weeks after the announcement is posted.

The committee will review applications as they come in while at the same time creating the interview questions to be asked of the applicants selected for the initial interviews, which will be held via video chat application. Following the initial interviews, committee members will visit selected applicants at their home churches. From the group of visited applicants, the committee will select the top applicants to be interviewed by the committee here in D.C.

The Search Committee’s plan is to recommend three rector candidates to the vestry in the spring of 2020.

Román leads a focus group discussion

Adult Forum will be led by The Rev. Rob Banse this fall and early winter. This letter was written by Rev. Rob.

I write first to formally introduce ourselves to you. We are the Banses. I am the recently retired Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, Virginia. Janie is the librarian at the Highland School in Warrenton, Virginia. We met in Alexandria, have always loved the District, and feel very blessed to now live part-time here on

Capitol Hill. We were thrilled to discover you all this past March and are really looking forward to becoming more active in the life of this congregation. I want to be very clear here at the outset: we are your fellow parishioners and I am not a member of the staff.

Having said that, I have shared with Rev. Rick and Anne Curry that, if I can be of any assistance during this time of transition, I would be glad to do so. I particularly enjoy participating in discussions about how we best support each other in living faithfully as Christians in this increasingly complex and complicated world. Rev. Rick has graciously responded by asking me if I would lead the Forum Hour for the first several months of the fall and early winter. “Absolutely!” is my answer. The upcoming Forum Hour dates are:

• September 15th - Getting acquainted and an overview of our discussions

• October 6, 13, 20 - “Hour by Hour” - The significance of keeping Sabbath, Daily Prayer, and the Seasons of the Church Year

• November 3, 10, and 17 - “All The Saints” - Contemplation, Meditation, and Mysticism as found in the lives of St. Augustine, Evelyn Underhill, and Thomas Merton

• December 8 and 15 - “Angels and “Archangels” - The lives and witness of Mary and Joseph as the message of the Prophets is fulfilled

• January 12, 19, and 26 - “The Word Made Flesh” - what the four Gospels reveal to us about the meaning of “incarnation,” both Jesus and ours

Adult Forum is held on Sunday from 10:00 to 10:45 am in the Meeting Room (glass conference room in the Parish Hall). Of course, all are welcome to one or all of these conversations, or somewhere in between! All that is required is an inquiring mind and heart.

We look forward to getting to know our fellow parishioners.

With occasional exceptions, the regular weekly schedule is: • Wednesday rehearsals, 7:30 – 9:15 pm • Sunday warm-up at 10:00 am, followed by the 11:00 am service There is no better way to get started than to jump in with both feet.

Otherwise, simply show up in the sanctuary at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, September 4th, and see if choir is for you.

Parish Choir Season Kick-Off

Children & Youth Ministry The Rev. Mary Miller Flowers

Kick off Sunday is September 8th! We are excited to launch our fall program for children and youth. There will be a *bouncy house* to start the fun. It should be a great season and we look forward to growing together in faith over the coming months.

Children & Youth Sunday School

Sunday School is from 10-10:45am for ages 4 years through 5th grade. Kids will be grouped into classes of pre-kindergarten/kindergarten, 1st-2nd graders, 3rd-4th graders, and 5th graders who will meet up in the Loft. Children will explore Bible stories and connect them to their lives through crafts, games and age-level discussions.

In addition to Sunday mornings, youth (5th grade and up) gather several times throughout the year for fellowship and fun. These parent-led activities range from game night to Bible study to cooking meals for those in need. Stay tuned for fall dates.

The nursery, staffed by trained caregivers, is available for children ages 3 and under throughout Sunday morning.

Children’s Worship Experiences

Children’s Chapel: Children ages 3 through 2nd grade are welcome to join us for children’s chapel, a short worship and activity program held during the 9am and 11am worship services. Chapel leaders tell a Bible story and engage the children in songs, activities and prayers. Children leave from the Sanctuary before the Scripture lessons and return in time to share Communion with their families.

Acolytes: We have an active acolyte program for children in 3rd grade and up. We will have a training session for new and experienced acolytes after the 11 am service one Sunday this fall. Stay tuned for the date.

Children’s Choir: The children offer their voices in song to the congregation twice a year, during the Advent and Easter seasons. They rehearse on Monday evenings from 6:30-7pm, for the five-six weeks prior to their musical offering. Look for additional details this fall.

There are many opportunities through Christ Church to care for our neighbors in DC and elsewhere. As we start the new program year, we invite you to think about ways you might participate in various Christ Church outreach ministries. For more information talk with the listed contact people.

By Karen Cunningham, Executive Director, Everyone Home DC

It has only been a few short months since we launched our new name and new

look and it already feels like home! As we continue to spread the word and get

used to saying “Everyone Home DC,” we have appreciated hearing from

members of our community who have reached out to recognize the thought

that went into selecting our new name. A faith partner shared that they

“applaud the demonstrated interest in the broader embrace and inclusion:” a

longtime supporter was moved to tears upon seeing our name with our new

logo; and our staff loves being able to use our new name – a name that sends a

clear and succinct message about what we are working so hard every day to ac-

complish. Most importantly, we hear over and over again from the women,

men and families we work with on a daily basis that our new name “fits” – and

we could not agree more!

Everyone Home DC is a name and a mission statement

in one. It is more welcoming of the diverse range of

supporters it will take to achieve our vision of a District

of Columbia where all people can obtain and remain in

safe, affordable and comfortable homes, and it gives

our work a clear and recognizable descriptor. Our new

name has not changed our purpose, our programs, nor

our special relationships with our faith communities

and Capitol Hill, but it does allow us to share our story

in a more compelling way. Our focused commitment

continues, with a rigorous set of solutions for families

and individuals experiencing homelessness in the

Capitol Hill area and beyond.

At the end of 2018, we got to work on developing a

“Faith Community Council” to deepen, grow, and

formalize our relationship with our faith communities

because we know that the energy, expertise,

compassion and power of our faith partners make us

stronger and move us forward. In many ways, this

brings us back to our roots. As so many longtime Capi-

tol Hill residents already know, Everyone Home DC be-

gan in the 1960s as a collective, grassroots

effort by area churches to advocate for racial and

economic justice and to support our community

during a time of many challenges and great change.

New Name, Same Mission: Capitol Hill Group Ministry is now Everyone Home DC!

Year-to-Date Financial Update Jason Miller, Treasurer

The following is notable from our Year-to-Date July 31, 2019 financial results:

·Overall Church income is $70,882 greater than anticipated which is primarily a result of:

greater than anticipated Designated and Other Gifts of $61,517,

and greater than anticipated Investment Income of $8,269.

Expenses:

·Overall Church expense is $26,873 greater than budget and is primarily a result of:

timing of property tax expense (rentals) of $11,532 initially budgeted to occur later in year,

unbudgeted rectory repairs of $$40,069. Rectory repairs were set-aside during a previous year, but not expected to occur in 2019.

Each budget overage is offset with lower than expected Personnel Expense of $19,225, which is a result of lower than anticipated staff levels.

Other expense items are greater and lower than originally anticipated, but the overall Net Results are $45,103 greater than anticipated. Additionally, we expect to end 2019 with better than anticipated results.

(cont. from previous page) Today, what bigger challenge are we facing in Washington, DC than the fact

that more than 6,000 people in our city, many in our own neighborhood, are without homes? We are

proud of the work we have done with our faith community partners to help drive this number down

over the past few years, but our work is far from complete. In fact, I’d say we’re just getting started.

We are so excited and grateful to have you on this journey with us. Our call to action is clear: Let’s get

Everyone Home, DC!

Zen in the Afternoon Not an advertisement to a new Christ Church program, but the name of the 2019 Christ Church raffle quilt. With 50-odd pieces of vintage Japanese silk, compliments of Andrea Harles’ extensive fabric stash, and the generosity of a former Christ Church member and quilt winner, John McLees, while on a trip to Japan, the quilters have designed a one-of-a-kind quilt that will delight the eye and the imagination. As usual, the quilt will be raffled off at the 2019 Saint Nicholas Day Dinner & Christmas Sale. Proceeds will go to one or more of the organizations Christ Church supports through its outreach activities. For the last several years, quilt proceeds have supported Buenos Vecinos, a small organization working with impoverished children and families in Guatemala and Honduras and Good Neighbors, a Capitol Hill Refugee Resettlement collaboration with Lutheran Social Services. The Christ Church + Capitol Hill Quilters Extraordinaire have been making quilts as a part of parish fundraising and fellowship activities for 35 years. The quilters meet weekly, at 7:30 pm on Mondays in the Upper Rooms of the Parish Hall. Experienced quilters and those just wanting to give it a try are welcome. See Linda Mellgren or Andrea Harles for more information about the group.

Join us for Oktoberfest!

Do you like slow-smoked brisket? How about country music by the Capitol Hillbillies? Then you are in luck! Christ Church is hosting a fundraiser for Samaritan Ministries of Greater Washington on Sunday, October 6 from 5 to 8 pm. You are invited to come and have a rip-roaring good time and raise money for a antastic organization that provides employment opportunities and life skills and support to our neighbors throughout DC and close-in suburbs.

The Capitol Hillbillies, a well-known local group, performs with rhythm guitar/vocals, mouth harp, resonator slide guitar/washboard, upright string bass, and a rolling piano. The menu of brisket, baked beans, coleslaw, and, of course, a chocolate dessert, is being undertaken by Christ Church’s master chefs: John Payne, Ed Warren and a few friends. The Christ Church Brew Crew will donate libations. The all-inclusive ticket cost is $50 per person, of which $35 will go directly to Samaritan ministries. Ticket receipts will include acknowledgement of the donation amount. Tickets must be purchased in advance. The cost for children will be $15 with food, activities, and supervision in the upper room of the parish hall.

THIS TABLE Keith Lopes

This Table is a place, where just a few shall sit,

On Saturday past dawn, we come to seek out fit.

From all around these streets, we come from far and near,

Eating eggs and oats and bready things that fill us like a bear.

But what has drawn us closer, is something so sublime,

Our breathe, our hearts our Love for God, our Jesus Lord Divine.

We pray, we chat, we share events of past and current things,

This group has come to be a home and life is what it brings.

Though each of us aren’t perfect, we travel without shame,

Our church, this house, this kitchen will never be the same.

We are a bunch of lively men; bald, fat, fit, deaf and dumb,

No matter what our issue is, This Table keeps us young.

With pride and humble charity we give to each a bit,

In word, in deed and merriment; Lord guide with Holy Writ.

An hour passes quickly; this group is never dull,

It brings us back, week end to end to share in His Gospel.

This Table is a light we carry throughout this land,

Our comrades keep us close and often reach out their hand.

No matter what the happening, we’re there to bring His Light,

Each never is alone, whether flight or fight or night.

His Table is for all to share, but ours – just for this few,

My friends, this poem is what I give, my Love for all of You.

Looking to deepen your connections at Christ Church?

Consider joining the Men’s Saturday Group. Every Saturday morning at 9am (year-round) a group of men from the parish gather around the church kitchen table for breakfast and to discuss spiritual growth and issues faced in life. Meeting year round, men of all ages are welcome to participate. The poem above was written by Keith Lopes and inspired by his experience with the Men’s Saturday Group. No need to RSVP; just drop by on Saturday morning at 9am.

Page 10 Remembering Bob Conly Paul Laymon Bob Conly played many parts at Christ Church: Vestry member, Treasurer, and Finance Committee member. He also participated in many different groups, especially the Men’s Saturday Group, whose breakfast he attended nearly every Saturday for ten years.

Bob was a beloved member of Christ Church. People flocked to him because of his compassion, humility, and modesty, and because underneath those qualities laid a deep understanding of the Bible and a keen interest in theology. Bob devoted his life to building a relationship with God and loving others as Jesus loved. He was never showy, but in the words of one who knew him well, “Bob will be remembered for the quiet, strong presence he was.”

Towards the end of his life, Bob’s physical health declined as he wrestled with Parkinson’s disease. Even though the disease eventually made it hard to speak or walk, he practiced speaking so he could read on Sundays and many encountered him walking the neighborhood with the aid of his ski poles. Even at the end he was still bringing chocolate croissants to men’s group. Through it all, Bob’s faith in God and love for others only grew stronger, and he never lost his desire for chocolate croissants.

On the day Bob died, his good friend Gerry Connolly wrote: “God bless him. He had been on such a difficult journey these past several months. But he never complained. Such a powerful lesson to us all. He is only dead. He is not gone.”

On September 26, 2018, Christ Church lost a dear

parishioner when Bob Conly passed away. His spirit

lives on with a generous bequest to the church that

allows several deferred and necessary maintenance projects to be addressed now. Some projects have been

completed already and others are scheduled for this fall, pending materials and contractor schedules. We

hope you notice the improvements and think fondly of Bob.

Carpeting in the Upstairs Rooms and Rector’s Office – when the Parish Hall renovation was completed

in 2016, the new carpeting went up the stairs and stopped at the hallway door to the Upstairs Rooms

where Children’s Chapel and Sunday School meets. With the bequest from Bob, this summer we

were able to continue the carpeting throughout the entire upstairs floor, including the Rector’s

Office, giving it all a fresh, updated look that ties it to the rest of our improved space.

New Kitchen Cabinets and Flooring – Bob was a devoted member of the Men’s Saturday Group which

meets in the kitchen. It is a touching tribute that part of his gift will underwrite the replacement of

the kitchen cabinets over and under the microwave and coffee maker, including new food-grade

quartz countertops, and install new high traffic resistant flooring through the kitchen and back

hallway. The kitchen improvements are scheduled for early this fall.

Stained glass windows repair in sanctuary – One of the crowning jewels of Christ Church is the

beautiful, historic windows in our worship place. Christ Church is honored to be awarded a grant

from the DC Preservation League, to be matched by Bob Conly’s bequest, to remove the old

plexiglass window covers, putty and seal around the windows, repair missing or damaged panes,

repaint the frames and install new protective glass. The work is pending the contractor’s schedule

and availability.
