Announcements – March 6, 2016

Sunday, March 6: Seed Blessing
This morning the seeds that will be planted in the community garden, as well as the hands that will do the planting, will receive a blessing. This year, the Sunday School will be planting and growing the seedlings. Stay tuned for a schedule of garden events and a sign-up for garden work in the coming weeks.

Lenten Mid-Week Dinner Church
Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30 PM
February 17-March 16
Children welcome!

This year for our mid-week services during the season of Lent, we’re trying something a bit different: “dinner church.” We’ll have a meal together, hear from our speaker, then pray and share communion, all around tables in the fellowship hall. Each week we’ll hear a member or friend of Faith share how they live out their faith in their daily lives. To sign up to help with the dinners, please visit www.flcva.org/signup.

Confirmation Service Event
This weekend, confirmation students and mentors will be volunteering at Lifeline Partnership’s annual Easter Egg Hunt and Decorating Party! For details, check with Pastor Yvette.

Sunday, March 13: Guest Preacher
Our guest preacher next week is Deb Haynes, a recent graduate of Gettysburg Seminary and a Diaconal Minister awaiting first call in the Metro DC Synod. Deb is a member of Holy Trinity in Falls Church and first heard her call to ministry there as a volunteer in an emergency hypothermia shelter for the homeless in Fairfax County.
