Men struggling with sexual addictions (pornography, sex outside of marriage) are invited to an open discussion on Thursday, March 18 at 7:30pm in Kendal 1 at Calvary Baptist. These behaviors distort our relationships with God and women, but there is hope! We want to join together to shine God’s light of the Gospel in this dark area. Email Bob for more information; confidentiality will be honored.
Social butterflies and wall flowers are welcome at our March 14 meeting after Service in Kendall 1. Come help plan a social event for Grace DC: a great way to get to know others, and give the opportunity to meet new people. You can plan just one event or join the team, but no commitment is implied from attending a meeting. Questions? Contact Evan or Haley.
Join our book club for just one book, or for as many as you like! This month, read Bernard Malmud’s The Magic Barrel: Stories. We’ll meet for discussion Friday, March 19, at 7pm at Anna’s. Sign up at gracedcreads-subscribe@yahoogroups.com for directions or visit our Grace DC Reads Yahoo! Group for more info.
These dinners are a great way to get to know more people and get connected within Grace DC. Dinners of 10-12 people are hosted in homes across the city. Sign up now for the next dinner, scheduled for March 26 (last day to sign up: March 17). To host a dinner, contact Brent.
Join our discussion of a timely essay by C.S. Lewis over dinner (pasta, of course), followed by drinks, jazz, and dessert; 6:30pm on Friday, March 19. Read: “Affection” from The Four Loves. Meet at the Capitol Hill home of Joe Loconte. This is a great event to bring your non-Christian friends and colleagues who are curious about Christianity. RSVP to Joe for directions, and let him know what you’d like to bring (side dishes/drinks/desserts).
Every third Sunday of the month, we gather to hear about one of the missions we support and then spend some time in prayer for them. Next: March 21; gather downstairs in Kendall Room 1 at 7pm after the service.
Feel overwhelmed by the city sometimes? Want to help the needy, but don’t know how? Here’s an idea: weekly prayer time set aside to focus on our city and mercy ministry outreach. We meet Tuesday mornings at 7:15am at the church office. Contact Justin for info or with questions. (click here for other prayer opportunities)

Following the service on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, join us for Coffee Hour in Woodward Hall and make some new friends (and browse the library!). We ask each community group to host one Coffee Hour a year. Email coordinators AJ Bass or Debbee Keller to see how you can get involved.
We’re delighted to offer a Lending Library, available for browsing and checking out at Coffee Hours every second and fourth Sunday. You can return books any Sunday at the library cart or Info Table. To be a part of the library team, email Richard Boles. Click here for details: Read more »
