On The Table

The Weekly Announcement of Common Table Church

Thursday, February 25, 2010

February 22nd through 28th

Hey church,

Well, after kicking off Lent last weekend with (up to three) great parties and a worship service filled with lovely and meditative music, this weekend we've got no official CT Gatherings planned. In particular, it's the 4th Sunday of the month, so we won't be gathering for worship at Jammin' Java.

That said, I do have one resource and a couple of unofficial opportunities to recommend to you.

The resource is the 2010 Common Table Lenten Blog, a labor of love by our own artist and webmaestro Jon White, with help from the rest of us. Each post is one word, one drawing, and perhaps a short reflection, all of which are meant to draw us into the Lenten season of transformation. Check out the blog, or follow us on Twitter!

The first opportunity is a musical party featuring our friend Jay and his band Middle Distance Runner to raise money for the DC music showcase at SXSW in Austin Texas. It's at:

Austin Grill, 801 King Street, Alexandria, VA 703.684.8969
$5 cover, all ages, Friday Feb 26, 9pm to close. (MDR goes on at 11:45.)
Event site: http://dcdoestx.blogspot.com/
Austin Grill Site: http://www.austingrill.com/alexandria.html

The second opportunity is an Art House Party featuring a silent auction of 50 pieces of donated artwork to raise funds and awareness for displaced Haitian orphans that are being sent to live in the already overcrowded orphanages in the Dominican Republic.

Saturday, February 27, 2010, 7:00pm - 11:55pm

(auction ends at 10:30; winners announced at 11pm)

2403 Leslie Avenue, Alexandria, VA

Suggested Entry Donation: $10; ALL bids start at only $25!

Other than that, it's a free weekend. If you have good ideas, for fun, world-changing, or worship this weekend - let us know!

Peace,

Mike Croghan
