Lunchbox and Water Bottle Drive
St. C’s Refugee Response Ministry is partnering with Solutions in Hometown Connections (SHC) to provide NEW lunch boxes and water bottles to refugee and newcomer students.

Here are links for suggested items being collected, but there are no brand preferences!
You can drop off your donated item in the Common on Sunday, August 2, 9, or 16th.
Alternatively, you can order and mail your donation to: Susan Laing, 2221 Ross Ct, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Please order no later than August 10th. Any questions, contact Alice Goodman at aliceCgoodman@gmail.com.

Summer Singers
Sundays at 9:45a
Summer Singers is a pick-up choir that forms each Sunday during the summer to learn and share special music for that morning’s worship. The group gathers in the music room at 9:45 am for a quick warm-up, and then prepares an offertory anthem to sing at the 10:30 am service. Singers of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join us each Sunday, June 14 through August 30, or any Sunday you are available.
Wild Goose Festival 2026
Labor Day Weekend September 3rd- 6th
Join staff member Joy Carroll Wallis at the Wild Goose Festival over Labor Day weekend. Wild Goose is all age and family friendly and would be a great fit for a group of St.Columban families to experience as a group. There is something for everyone! Kids programs, a beer tent (with ‘Beer & Hymns’), amazing musicians, speakers and more. As a founding board member and board chair she can offer a 20% discount on all tickets to the St. Columba family. Get tickets at https://wildgoosefestival.org and use code: JW26
