On The Table

The Weekly Announcement of Common Table Church

Monday, September 29, 2008

 

September 29th through October 5th

Hi church,

It was a relationship of affection and commitment, and we thought it would last forever: Jammin' Java + Common Table. But then this guy rolled into town, and before we knew it, his kiddish melodies were making Java swoon and sigh and...well...we just couldn't compete. Not with Ralph.

Just kidding - the Jammin' Java folks asked us a while ago if we wouldn't mind making way for the popular Disney Channel troubadour this Sunday morning, so for a variety of reasons we decided to postpone our annual church anniversary celebration for a month, and it's our pleasure to invite you to:

The Common Table 7th Anniversary Picnic and Labyrinth Walk
Sunday, October 5th, 1pm
Church of the Holy Comforter
543 Beulah Rd NE, Vienna, VA

We'll do a potluck picnic/barbeque: please bring picnic food and utensils for your family, plus a little to share, and there should be plenty for everyone. We'll have a grill going, so by all means bring some meat or veggies to char.

For the labyrinth walk, we won't have any prepared verbal prayers or liturgy. Instead, we'll pray in two ways: we'll pray contemplatively, listening, receptive to God's Spirit as we walk the labyrinth. And we're also encouraging everyone to bring acoustic musical instruments, if you want to: guitars, drums, shakers, other percussion (we'll have some extras) - and we'll offer the music and rhythm we make as praise to God as we walk, listen, and open our hearts.

We'll begin music and walking at the labyrinth behind the church as soon as we can assemble there, and folks can begin preparing food at the picnic tables on the front lawn (near the awesome playground - kids and parents, take note!) as soon as they want to as well. It'll be a great time of worship and fellowship - hope to see you there!

But wait - before all that, we have the opportunity for another awesome time of fellowship and mutual blessing: Thursday from 6:30 -8, we'll be gathering at The Lamb Center for pizza and karaoke. Don't miss that chance to see God's Spirit at work and play in friends old and new!

It's a week for celebration - come join us as we party round the Table!

Peace,
Mike Croghan
