“For me, St. Columba's and faith are inextricably linked. I know whatever life serves up, God will provide for me and my family through the community here.”
“"I walked into a room of complete strangers on Wednesday morning and was completely welcomed with warm, loving smiles from a diverse group of mothers."”
“"St. Columba’s Rebuilding Together ministry worked on a beautiful old house in the Gallaudet neighborhood of DC. It was owned by an absolutely amazing couple, loved by many in this city."”

From the Rector's Desk, Jan. 9, 2019
This shutdown is hard for many in our congregation and community. Federal employees, government contractors, family members, and others are feeling the strain. Some of you have told me that, even though you’ve lived through government shutdowns in the past, this time feels particularly scary. This is a time to come together, to take care of one another, and to take care of our neighbors. Learn more about how St. Columba's is reaching out to help our furloughed parishioners and neighbors.
Start your New Year smartly by signing on to a St. C's Wednesday night course. We will gather at 6:30 pm in the Azzi Lounge for a time to connect, snack and pray. Then choose between two Wednesday workshops: "Financial Peace University," a five-week video series that will challenge and motivate you to make a plan for your money; and "Spirituality of Dementia," led by the Rev. Susan Flanders, a four-week series that will explore how best to nurture and undergird our spirituality and personhood in the face of dementia.
