On The Table

Hi church,

For those keeping score at home - if you were bummed that you had to miss this past Sunday's worship service in the Anglican tradition, I have good news. Plans changed, and we'll be doing that service some time in June instead. (In place of the previously announced service, we shared a contemplative appendix to our series on St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, and, among other things, created this community response to that book of Scripture.)

As for this week, it's the fourth weekend of the month, and hence our monthly Service Worship weekend. It's also Memorial Day weekend, so we'll be gathering on Monday the 26th for a combined cookout / block party / woods and stream cleanup in the woodsy common area near Tina's and my house in Herndon. Here are the deets:

Please join us on Memorial Day, Monday, the 26th of May, starting at 2pm, for a combined "block party", Memorial Day cookout, and litter cleanup in our shared woods and stream (near the playgrounds). We'll grill hot dogs and hamburgers, share snacks and drinks, play some games, and spend a little time picking up the litter in our wooded common area.

You can find us at Mike and Tina's house (13337 Feldman Place, Herndon, VA) or in the common area near the playgrounds you'll see if you walk to the back of the parking lot and keep going. We'd love for you to contribute:

- Hot dogs, hamburgers, or other picnic foods or beverages.
- Paper plates, cups, or plastic ware.
- Trash bags to put litter in.
- Frisbees, balls or other toys for kids and kids that never grew up!

But if you can't, you're welcome to share ours!

Everyone is invited, including kids! Please come and enjoy good food and fun, get to know our neighbors, and help make our shared woods and stream cleaner and more beautiful!

* Rain or shine! (But if it's raining, we might cook inside.) *

And that's about all for this week. Take care, and may the wind of God's Spirit blow through you in this season of Pentecost.

Peace,
Mike Croghan
