Donate to Midnight Run.

Our fall 2025 Midnight Run was a great event, and we had even more clients than usual taking advantage of our clothing and toiletry supplies. We need to restock our supplies for our next Midnight Run, later this spring. If you are doing a post-holiday purge and would like to get rid of things that no longer fit or are no longer wanted, please donate items for use in our next run. Below is a specific list of items we are looking to replenish. If you don’t have any items to donate, you can also contribute by purchasing new/sealed toiletries, or multi-packs of underwear or socks. We need travel size deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, shaving cream and toothbrushes, as well as new/unused men’s and women’s underwear and socks. You can bring all donations to the church and leave them in the donation baskets in the Narthex.

Lenten Series: Spiritual Practice Workshop

Lent is a season to begin new practices. But where do we start? Do you ever feel lost, when trying to pray? Do you wish you had more familiarity with spiritual disciplines like lectio divina, praying with icons, contemplative prayer or spiritual journaling? Join us for this five-week course, where we will both learn about different Christian disciplines and have an opportunity to put these practices to use together! Led by the clergy of Christ Church.

Sundays 11:30am-12:30pm – Crispell Lounge

March 1, 8, 15, 22.

Join us for the third CCB Movie Night: January 16th

Join us at 6:30 PM on Friday, January 16 in Crispell Lounge for the 2020 Academy-Award-winning documentary, My Octopus Teacher, followed by a brief talk and moderated discussion with CCB parishioner and documentary filmmaker, Catharine Park. Refreshments will be served!

My Octopus Teacher chronicles filmmaker and diver Craig Foster's unique bond with a wild octopus in South Africa's kelp forest. The octopus teaches Craig lessons on the fragility of life and humanity's connection with nature - which impacts his relationship with his son, Tom. Visually stunning and profoundly moving, critics called the film an eye-opening, heartwarming tale of redemption.
