On The Table

Hey church,

As we slog toward the solstice, hope your Advent is bright! We have three items on the table for this week:

First, our new-ish Mid-Week Gathering is getting together tonight (Thursday) evening at about 7pm, and we're going Christmas caroling! We might also do some personal storytelling. And there will certainly be cocoa. And prayer! If you'd like to join us tonight, or you want to find out more about these gatherings, give us a shout - we don't always mention them here due to timing and changing plans, but we can get you in the loop.

Second, on Saturday we will have our annual CT Christmas Party! (And no winter storm will stop us!!) Deets:

Where: Fairfax Station Railroad Museum
11200 Fairfax Station Road, Fairfax Station, VA 22039-1011

When: 4pm - 8pm, including chili contest, gingerbread house contest, food, drink, and fellowship!

Third, we'll gather for worship at 10am on Sunday at Jammin' Java. Here's Amy Moffitt:

We're wrapping up our 3 part Advent series on waiting through Mary's eyes by pulling our focus in even further to the Magnificat itself as the battle cry of the revolutionary, a picture of God's coming Kingdom on earth... the powerful overthrown, the poor made rich. And we'll consider what it means to view Mary--and what God was doing through Mary-- through that lens, as a political rebel, and overthrower of the status quo.

And fourth, well, if we don't see you before then, have a very merry and joyful Christmas! And stay tuned for deets on the great Common Table New Year's Party. It will be brought to you by the number 10 and the letter X. Get your Bert and Ernie groove ready.

Peace,
Mike Croghan
