Summer 2024

This summer, Christ City will engage in alternative gathering rhythms around our core practices of worship, community, and mission.

This page will be updated regularly as more information is available.

For the past eleven years, we have been privileged to hold our Sunday services at Miner Elementary School in Northeast DC. This summer, due to essential renovations at the school, it will be closed to outside use. Our last Sunday at Miner before the summer will be June 16.

THE PLAN

This change, and the fact that it coincides with the summer months, affords us an opportunity to alter our regular rhythms and to engage our core practices of worship, community, and mission in new and creative ways before returning to more regular rhythms in the fall. Our return to Miner following the renovations is not yet confirmed, but we are hopeful and prayerful that it will occur.

WORSHIP

Christ City Church will gather to worship together one Sunday a month through the summer. Times and locations are still being finalized.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

While we are excited about the growth we will experience this summer, we recognize that change is never easy.

Here are some practical ways to prepare and participate as we look towards this summer.

  • Pray! Pray for and over our community, pray for Christ City leadership, pray for continued guidance from the Spirit.

  • Join the upcoming Q&A. We will have a Summer Plans Q&A session on Monday, May 13th at 7:30pm. This will be a virtual meeting, and you can join the call at: go.christcitydc.org/SummerQA.

  • Meet folks in your neighborhood this month. Join or host a Neighborhood Social and meet some new folks.

  • Subscribe to The Scoop. Sign up for Christ City’s weekly newsletter, sent on Fridays with information on upcoming events and important happenings. All of our gatherings and event information will be sent out here throughout the summer.

  • Join the CCC Listserv. Join our listserv on Google, a place where anyone can post happenings, requests, and other community things. As summer events are planned, they’ll be posted here. Anyone is welcome to host a social or gathering and post it to the listserv! (Note: it may be helpful to change your listserv settings to receive each email instead of in a digest during the summer so you don’t miss anything!)

  • Follow Christ City on social media. We’ll be posting information throughout the summer on our channels. You can find us on Instagram and Facebook.

  • Consider how you might participate. Think through your summer schedule and consider how you might participate in the life of Christ City in this upcoming unique season. Which community events and gatherings can you attend? Want to host a small group or social? Who might you reach out to over the summer?
