Hi church,
There's a bunch going on this weekend! Here's what I know:
First, we'll gather at The Lamb Center (the only daytime drop-in center for homeless folks in Fairfax County) on Friday evening (the 5th) for Lamb Center Karaoke. Setup starts at 6, pizza and singing at 6:30, and we'll wrap up at 8pm. Come to sing, nom, or just make friends, and be prepared to have a good time and see the Spirit at work. This is the last Lamb Center Karaoke evening of the year, so let's go out with a bang!
Next, on Saturday (10am - 2; quitting sooner if we're done and breaking for lunch somewhere in there), the Midweek Group (really, Ms. Heidi Burns) is leading an effort to complete the service-worship project at the Laurel Learning Center in Reston. We're down to cutting in, touching up, and a second coat on the walls. It should go quick, but more hands would be a huge help to get the place truly back in action and ready to serve and teach kids.
Then, on Sunday morning at 9am, the 9:30am Club will be gathering at Jammin' Java to talk about future directions for worship music at Common Table. If that's a topic you care about, please join them. And then stay for a time of participatory, worshipful music starting at 9:30!
And last, but certainly not least, please join us at 10am Sunday at Java for a true privilege: The Rev. Vince Anderson of Revolution NYC (among many other ministries) - better known in these parts as Moffitt's Guy - will be sharing his reflection entitled "Psalms of America". You don't want to miss it! (I'm going to miss it, and I don't want to!)
And that's the story for this weekend. Hope to see you soon!
Peace,
Mike Croghan
