On The Table

Hi church,

Whoopsy - this week's update is going out a bit late - sorry!! Thankfully, the Wiser Mike put just about everything you need to know in last week's update. So here's the scoop, with some added details.

Our friends Ryan and Holly Sharp (aka, The Cobalt Season) are currently touring the country in their Prius (with their one-year-old!). They'll be doing a house show in DC on Friday, November 2 at 8pm. It promises to be a soul-stirring night of great music, and a chance to connect with interesting people from around the Metro area.

Saturday, November 3: We'll be hosting several FACETS families on a trip to Cox Farms from 10am to 2pm. It'll be the annual weekend of post-Halloween Pumpkin Madness, so you won't want to miss the big, splattery mess. Fun for the kids and the young-at-heart. We'll be meeting at the Breezeway Motel in Fairfax to pick up our guests ay 9:30 Saturday morning, and driving to Cox Farms in Centreville. We'll hang out (enjoying the Cox Farms activities, each other's company, and some bag lunches we'll bring) until 2pm, and then head back to Fairfax to drop off our guests. If you can help with transportation, please let Israel know (540-287-4154) ASAP.

Sunday, November 4, we'll be meeting at Jammin' Java to join Kriss and Ben Buss on an exploration of Holden Village for our current series on Christian communities and cultural context. Also: It's "Wear Your Boots to Church" week. Why? Don't ask me. Ask iPete.

Finally, a reminder:

November 16-18 - Common Table Retreat: Cost will be $50/adult, payable to the church (please write a separate check, as the retreat will not be tax-deductible).

I think that's all the news fit for pixels. Hope you had an appropriately spooky All Hallows' Eve, and may all saints - and all souls - be blessed this week.

Peace!

- Mike (Croghan)
