Outreach

Outreach Vision Statement: Our Call to Ministry

In grateful response to the love of God given to us in Jesus Christ, the faith community of Christ Church is caring out Christ's gift of love that brings transformation and new life both within the Christ Church community and to our brothers and sisters, especially those who suffer from poverty, violence, and injustice.

10 Easy Ways to Participate in Outreach:

1. Drop off canned foods or personal products in the white bin outside the church any Sunday for the Lazarus food ministry.

2. Join one of Carpenter's Shelter dinner teams and serve dinner on a Friday evening.

3. Choose one of the ministries and include it in your daily prayers.

4. Volunteer at the ALIVE Child Development Center for one day. Contact our ALIVE! coordinator Rawles Jones at 703-548-2016 or click here to send Rawles an email.

5. Help with preparing or delivering and serving Bag lunches at Meade Memorial once every 6 weeks. For information please contact Kari Shapero at 703-360-2222 or click here to send Kari an email.

6. Help out at the Carpenter's Shelter reception desk any Friday. Contact Mary Ann & Jeff Bier 703-548-1349.

7. Purchase a bag of bus tokens at the Metro Bus center on Pendleton Street and donate them to the Lazarus Ministry - $24 for 20 tokens. This allows our guests transportation between work and Christ Church.

8. Spend a day at Community Lodgings helping with the after-school program—tutor a child, play a little basketball, try out your arts & crafts skills.

9. Get involved in some of our parish-wide events, such as the ALIVE Walk-a-thon or donate items requested for our parish-wide “Outreach Project” each month.

10. When someone on the street asks you for assistance, tell them to come to Lazarus on Wednesday and Thursday at 9:00 AM to see one of our counselors and help them get back on their feet.
