Support Roof Above and those they serve by donating unused, unopened socks of all sizes. Many unsheltered individuals are on their feet all day with very limited access to storage or laundry facilities. Clean socks can prevent pain, discomfort, and help our neighbors maintain their health. Bring your donations to the bin in the Rotunda and give the gift of warmth this October!

Christ Church Readers Book Club provides an opportunity to explore life’s complexities through books.

Children learn the basics of making music and healthy singing through age-appropriate play. Music Club is taught through the lens of the Kodály philosophy, with an emphasis on developmentally appropriate musical skills and lots of laughter! In addition to musical learning, singers experience what it is to be a part of a group, take turns, offer ideas, and express themselves.

Christ Church has a brand new set of choirchimes, and we need ringers! Chime Choir is a fun, focused 30 minutes where students in Grades 3–8 learn basic technique, music reading, and ensemble skills that carry over into choir, band, and beyond. Because each ringer covers a unique part, every single person matters. Spaces are limited, with priority registration for children enrolled in Children’s Choir. Please register only if you can commit to consistent, on-time attendance. Your part can’t be covered without you!

Christ Church Choristers is our most advanced children’s choir. Choristers tackle music at a high level, singing in harmony, learning descants, and working towards a beautiful tone. Singers in this choir serve as leaders within the children’s choir program and have additional opportunities to sing alongside adults in the Christ Church Choir throughout the year. The Christ Church Choristers participate in the Three Choir Festival each winter and lead worship frequently at Christ Church.

St. Nicolas Choir serves as an introduction to choir and choral singing. Choristers prepare music for worship while learning the basics of music reading and developing healthy vocal skills they can use for a lifetime. Through frequent participation in services, singers learn about the liturgy and become leaders in worship. Rehearsals are fun and developmentally appropriate, with lots of opportunities for movement and laughter!

$12 adults; $10 seniors; $8 children ages 4 – 12; children 3 and under free, $45 family maximum. Credit and debit cards accepted. No reservations needed.

We also need VOLUNTEERS!
Anyone 14 and above can help as a cashier or in the kitchen. Cashiers take money and help break down the room. Kitchen helpers keep an eye on refills and assist with any other kitchen duties as needed. Volunteers work 5 – 7 pm, and eat for free! It’s a fun job working with an amazing team!

Singers in this choir dive deeper into the world of music literacy and ear training, all through active music making. Children learn and sing anthems, both as an individual choir and in combination with our other children’s choirs. St. Cecilia Choir prepares music for worship monthly and participates in the Three Choir Festival each winter.

Nursery care is offered in the Nursery Suites (lower level of All Saints’ Hall) for children ages six weeks through four years old while parents are on-site. When checking in your child, please let us know if your child has any allergies or special needs. You will receive a numbered pager so we can reach you if needed. Children will be released only to an adult with the corresponding pager number.

Join this multi-faceted ministry woven with purpose, care, and community. Together, we create charitable items such as lap blankets, prayer shawls, prayer blankets, and prayer squares for members of the Christ Church community who are in need of comfort and encouragement.

Sacred Stitches is more than knitting and crocheting, it is a spiritual practice. These tactile arts invite a calming, meditative rhythm that can promote peace of mind, reduce stress, and foster wellbeing. Whether you are an experienced knitter or crocheter, just beginning to learn, or simply looking for fellowship, there is a place for you.

All ages and skill levels are welcome.

For questions, please contact Elizabeth Angerson at angersone@christchurchcharlotte.org.

Every baptized person is called to ministry, but often we face the difficult and subtle task of interpreting the richness of the church’s faith in a complex and confusing world. Education for Ministry (EfM) is Bible study and theological reflection group designed to help participants deepen their faith and connect the study of scripture with their real lives.

Led by Natalie Akin and Jenny Beaumont.

If you are interested, please fill out the EfM interest form and an instructor will contact you soon.

For centuries, Christians have ended the day with Compline, often called the “goodnight prayer of the Church.” Simple, quiet, and deeply beautiful, this service of scripture and prayer invites us to set aside the concerns of the day and rest in God’s care.

From October 7th through November 18th, join us for Compline, offered in both spoken and sung forms. Whether you come seeking stillness, comfort, or a deeper rhythm of prayer to carry into your daily life, this ancient service offers a chance to pause, pray, and hear again the reassurance that God is our light in every darkness.
