On The Table

Please note that this edition of On the Table is covering two (2) weeks. (Why do people do that? Put the digits in parenthesis after spelling out a number, as if it helps to clarify what the word "two" means? I've always wondered.)

On this coming Saturday, the 20th, please join us for a kid-friendly service-worship project, delivering Thanksgiving food baskets to families in need, in partnership with Reston Interfaith. If you can help with deliveries, please be at Mike and Tina's place no later than 9am on Saturday morning for your route assignments. We'll re-gather at our place at 10:30 for a simple, kid-friendly worship service exploring why we're sharing food with folks, and we'll also make some cards to send to the folks to whom we delivered the baskets. (Please join us for that part even if you can't make it at 9 for the deliveries.)

Because of the service-worship project on Saturday, we will NOT be gathering for a worship service at Jammin' Java on Sunday the 21st.

Thursday the 25th, of course, is Thanksgiving. I hope it will be an occasion for you to gather with friends and family and give thanks, together, for God's many gifts! If you're in the DC/NoVA area and are looking for someone to spend the holiday with, please contact us and we'll hook you up. (Seriously!)

Finally, we have no known plans for the weekend after Thanksgiving, the 27th and 28th. (In particular, since it's the fourth Sunday of the month, we will NOT be gathering at Java.) If you've got any ideas, let us know!

And that's it for now! I hope I'll see you some time this month, but if not...see you in Advent!

Peace,

Mike Croghan
