On The Table

Church,

Next weekend we will not be meeting at Jammin' Java on Sunday. Instead, in our tradition of Service Worship, we will come together on Saturday, October 23rd to serve at the Laurel Learning Center in Reston, VA, in partnership with Reston Interfaith. Our church has worked with Reston Interfaith in the past and are thankful once again to come alongside them in their vision of helping "clients build more stable lives by connecting them to vital resources that solve their needs for housing, childcare, food or financial assistance."

We will start out with a short service (geared toward the kids, but all are welcome) and then finish up with a reflection after the painting activity, the goal of which is to engage our children and help them to understand that they are following in Jesus' way through this service. Children are especially encouraged to participate in this activity, as we enter into this type of worship together as a community.

Throughout the years at Common Table, we have had different models of service worship. We do not wish to limit ourselves to supporting one organization, so please do continue to look for ways and ideas of your own as you cross paths with those who may be in need. We as a church would like to come together to help you help others you may have a relationship with. Doing so has both created and deepened relationships over the years: Hamida and Hassan come to mind, TJ and her family (they have since moved out of the area), as well as several others. So let's always be looking to connect our church's resources (financial, friendship, and otherwise) to the needs of the people in our everyday lives.

Please join us!

Since we will be there over lunchtime, we may order pizza together, so bring a couple dollars to chip in for some pizza, or pack a lunch of your own.

Thanks, and we hope to see you on Saturday!

Jackie (for the Kids Team)
