Adult Formation
Let’s Amplify the Signal: A Five-Week Evangelism Workshop
November 11-18, December 2-16, 6 p.m.
Christ Church has a story worth sharing, and we want more people to hear it! Join us for a hands-on, six-week workshop to help shape and launch a new evangelism effort at Christ Church. Together, we’ll brainstorm creative ways to get the word out, invite new people to connect with our community, and help more people discover what makes this parish special. Bring your ideas, your creativity, and your willingness to roll up your sleeves. Let’s build something together! Contact: Kate Alexander, kalexander@christchurchlr.org.
Nationalism, Fundamentalism, and God's Way of Liberation: An Introduction to the Gospel of Mark
November 11-18, December 2-16, 6 p.m.
Religious nationalism and fundamentalism are nothing new. Neither is a world of competing empires, extractive economies, and a widening gap between the rich and poor. It was into such a world that Jesus came and the Gospel of Mark was the first book to tell his story. To prepare ourselves for lectionary year B, in which we will be spending a lot of time with Mark's Gospel, we'll do a deep dive into the social and political context of the Gospel. From Christian nationalism to economic exploitation, Mark's vision of Jesus anticipates many of our current challenges and offers a message of costly discipleship to confront them.

Youth Formation
EYC: Faith and Film with Hannah
Youth 7th to 12th Grades
November 11-18, December 2-16, 6 p.m.
All youth grades 7 and above are invited to join Rev. Hannah for a series about reflecting theologically on our popular culture, particularly through film. We'll gather in the bishop's room on Wednesday evenings to watch and discuss. There may even be popcorn! All films are age appropriate. Contact: Hannah Hooker, hhooker@christchurchlr.org.

Episcopal Kids Community (EKC)
Youth 3rd to 6th Grades
November 11-18, December 2-16, 6 p.m.
EKC is open to all 3rd–6th graders and gives our younger youth a space to play games, ask questions about their faith, and grow in community together all in a safe, welcoming, and fun setting! Sixth grade serves as a “flex year” for families to decide if they’d like to keep their youth in EKC, transition them to our older youth program (Episcopal Youth Community), — or, if their youth is up for it, do both! Questions? Email Marvin at mmclennon@christchurchlr.org.
One Room School House
Children 5 yo through 3rd Grade
November 11-18, December 2-16, 6 p.m.
Beginning Wednesday nights this fall, we invite your children to be a part of our One Room Schoolhouse, a chance for kids to gather each week for Bible stories, discussion, prayer, and hands-on activities in a warm, small-group setting with our volunteer teachers. Children ages 5 through 3rd grade will gather each week to explore a new Bible story together, ask big questions, and grow in faith and friendship. Each week blends storytelling, play, and conversation, all designed to help kids feel known, welcomed, and excited about their place in God's story. We can't wait for you to join us! Questions? Email Marvin at mmclennon@christchurchlr.org.
