Advent Devotional 2024
This Advent season, we’re inviting you to journey with us through Prophesy Hope! by Danté Stewart—a powerful collection of reflections on hope, peace, love, and freedom. With Pastor Justin facilitating the 'group,' we’ll explore how these themes shape our faith and our world.
When: Daily reflections begin on Sunday, December 1. (But you can join in whenever!)
Where: In a WhatsApp group for shared reflections and encouragement.
What to Expect: Each day, we’ll post a scripture, quote, and question from the devotional to spark thought and discussion. You can participate as much or as little as you’d like—whether through comments, messages, reactions, or just reflection on your own.
Rosedale Thanksgiving
Join Us for Friendsgiving at Rosedale Rec!
We’re excited to announce that Ms. Sareka is hosting her annual Friendsgiving celebration at Rosedale Recreation Center on Friday, November 22nd, and she needs our help to make it another memorable event!

We’re looking for volunteers to join Ms. Sareka and serve alongside her, helping with food setup, serving, and cleanup. Whether you can give a few hours or the entire evening, your support would be a huge blessing to everyone attending.
Interested in volunteering?
Please sign up or reach out to Nikki for more details. Let’s come together to make this Friendsgiving an unforgettable celebration of gratitude and community.

Racial History & Activism in Arlington
One of the tenets of Christ City Church is that place matters. We want to be alert to the ways that the history of a place shapes the contemporary landscape socially as well as spiritually. To that end, Christ City is joining with Coracle - an organization committed to spiritual formation and justice - to spend the day understanding the history of racial justice and activism in Arlington.
The pilgrimage will be a combo bus and walking tour of historic Arlington. The sites we’ll visit include: the original DC boundary stone, Arlington House, site of sit-ins and other desegregation activism. The tour will focus on the history of displacement of residents of color during DC development and recent historical activism.
The event is free as Christ City has underwritten a portion of this event for CCCers to attend, but you are invited to make a donation to Coracle when you register at go.ChristCityDC.org/Arlington.
Oriented to Love Fishbowl Dialogue
Christ City has partnered with Washington Community Fellowship, Christians for Social Action and Oriented to Love to host a Fishbowl Dialogue on Sexual, Gender, and Theological Diversity and the Body of Christ.
Oriented to Love (OTL) is program of Christians for Social Action, and has been one of the thoughtful Christian spaces that helped influence Christ City’s approach to queer inclusion, theological diversity, and congregational unity.
OTL hosts Fishbowl discussions throughout the U.S. with the aim to help Christians listen to each other across differences in sexual orientation, gender identity and theological conviction. OTL has been instrumental in helping followers of Jesus come together, not in spite of our differences but because of them, helping communities forge a unity that is deeper than agreement.
The upcoming Fishbowl Discussion will include panelists from across a theological spectrum, as well as gender and sexual identity expressions. The event is free, but RSVP is required. To find out more and to RSVP go to: go.ChristCityDC.org/Fishbowl
CACUP Unification Service
Christ City is a partner in the Clergy And Community United for Peace (CACUP), a coalition that unites and coordinates efforts among faith and community-based organizations dedicated to ending community and police violence in DC and PG County.
Join the CACUP for a unification service on Saturday, April 20 at 6p at Church of the Incarnation (880 Eastern Ave NE) to kick off this important work with prayer, praise, and purpose. RSVP for the service here.

Ash Wednesday Service
Join us for our Ash Wednesday Service. It'll be on February 14 at 7pm, at Washington Community Fellowship's church building. We've partnered in collaborative services in years past but this year Pastor Andrew is away so they've graciously given us use of the space and asked us to take the lead.
Lenten Prayer
Beginning on Ash Wednesday and throughout the season of Lent, we will be gathering for our Lenten Prayer, every weekday morning at 7am for about 20 minutes. All are welcome to join via Zoom (go.christcitydc.org/lentenprayer).
LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group
If you identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and are looking for a way to connect with other queer and questioning folks at Christ City, Kiry will be hosting an affinity group for queer folks to find community, share food, heal, and grow in faith together. Privacy will be highly valued in this group as we know that not everyone is in a place to publicly identify as queer and some are still exploring how they would like to identify. Please email kiry@chirstcitydc.org to RSVP. Lunch will be provided.
