Member and Community Announcements

We are currently collecting gift cards for Arlington Foster Care (Target, Walmart, DSW, Amazon…) to be distributed to children and youth in foster care at their annual holiday party in early December. The deadline to drop off cards is Sunday, Dec. 6^th. Gift cards can be left in collection plates at both entrances to the sanctuary during worship or under the church office door during the week.

Arlington Foster Care ensures children who cannot stay in their homes because of abuse, neglect or other family circumstances have a home and a family to support them. The program recruits, trains and supports foster parents providing critical services in the child and family’s time of need. Thank you for helping ensure each child feels loved and appreciated this holiday season!

Mark your calendars for the November Brunch Fellowship after worship on Sunday, Nov. 22nd. We’ll kick off the holiday season with pie and fellowship at Faith! Sign up now to bring a pie to share or to help set up/clean up and RSVP so we know how many to plan for.

Pastor CJ has a challenge for you this fall: How can you participate in worship? Worship is something we all do together. How is God calling you to participate? You are invited to prayerfully reflect on ways you would enjoy serving on Sunday mornings – lighting candles, reading, assisting with communion, baking or buying bread for communion, greeting and/or ushering. Pastor CJ is hoping to get 100% congregational participation each Sunday. Simply check a few boxes on the form to let us know what you are interested in helping with. We’ll be in touch so you can choose the date or dates that work for you.

The “Midweek Lectionary Bible Study” group will resume meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 7^th at 1:30 PM in the undercroft. All are welcome to join this weekly bible study group! Contact Pastor CJ (pastorcj@flcva.org) with questions.
