Thanksgiving Hospitality: Would you be willing to open your home and share a meal with international students during Thanksgiving week? This is a meaningful way to show hospitality, build friendships, and help students experience Thanksgiving in an American home. Host two or more international students on the date that works for you, Nov. 21-28. Not sure what to do? Tips and ideas are available! You can register to host at bismvols.org/thanksgiving.

Contact Fayetta at griefsharebloomington@gmail.com or 614-361-0829.

Housemoot with Faith+Art Book Club—Fall 2026: This fall, the Faith+Art Book Club is partnering with The Rabbit Room’s Housemoot, a collection of lectures, readings, and discussions that explore faith, imagination, and the cultivation of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Crafting Calm: As a parent, it’s hard to juggle the needs of family without losing our own identities in the process. Come be yourself again at Crafting Calm, where parents of school-age children – from first-timers to seasoned veterans – can meet for unstructured time and a purpose other than our role as caretakers. Bring your own craft project, or don’t; we are a community for YOU. Meets Wednesdays during the school year, from 9:30am to noon in Room 15.
Giving to Christ Community: Tithes and gifts can be given in the box at the back of the Sanctuary, by mail, or online at cccbloomington.org/giving.
