On The Table

Friends,

Pardon the tardiness of this post. It just occurred to me that both Mikes are out of town and I should probably get off my arse and get an announcement out if we expect church to happen this Sunday... because this is Common Table, and nothing happens in real life unless it makes its way through cyberspace first. So here's what's coming up, as best as I can tell:

Saturday at 7:30pm, Pete and Jackie are hosting an Iftar at their house (703 953 1297) as an opportunity to visit with our Iraqi friends and share their religious celebrations with them. All are welcome. If you'd like to attend, please coordinate that with Pete and Jackie.

Sunday, we'll be at Jammin Java at 10:00 AM, continuing our series considering the ways that God works in various contexts and cultures. This week promises to be especially intriguing and challenging as we look at Alcoholics Anonymous, an extremely contextual group that is defined not by its geography, but by its demographics. Jen Way will be leading us, which is always a treat, so plan to come on Sunday and share your perspectives.

Here are two other dates to keep in mind:

• October 21 - Congregational Meeting after church


• November 16-18 - Common Table Retreat: Cost will be $50/adult, payable to the church.

Have a great week everyone, and Happy October!

Deanna
