Dedication of New Sanctuary Banners

Last Sunday we unveiled our new sanctuary banners, and this Sunday we will dedicate them. To learn more about the banners, click HERE to read Pastor Juli's February eNews column. Many thanks to our Worship Planning Team as well as Shannon Robinson of Purple Leaf Quilters who created these works of art.

Souper Bowl of Caring Success

Many thanks to all who donated cash and food to the Souper Bowl of Caring last Sunday to benefit our Little Free Pantry! We received 100 food items and $82 cash. Since the DMV didn't have a team in the Super Bowl this year, the most "votes" went to Taylor Swift & the Nats!

Words for the Wilderness: 

Daily Emailed Devotions for Lent

“One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).



This Lent, journey through the wilderness with words to sustain you every step of the way. We will email you a word or short phrase at 6am each day of Lent through Easter Sunday. Contemplate how the word speaks to you that day. Then read the short scripture verse and prayer that accompanies the word. Join our private Facebook group, where the words will be posted daily, to share your reactions. Sign up below to receive these daily devotions, and join our community in this simple daily Lenten practice.

Sign Up for ALIVE! Furniture

Delivery on March 2

ALIVE! is seeking help from faith communities and community organizations to staff our furniture delivery truck on Saturdays or Sundays during 2024. ALIVE! has operated a furniture donation program for many years. Prior to COVID-19,they operated two trucks each weekend to pick up good-condition used furniture from Alexandria residents and deliver it to people who needed it. Right now ALIVE! is only operating one truck most weekends because they do not have enough volunteers. We can help solve this problem!

FPC is looking for 4-6 people to help deliver furniture on the morning of Saturday, March 2 (8a-1p). Volunteers must be aged 15 or older. ALIVE! provides a person to drive the delivery truck and volunteers follow the truck in their cars and help move the furniture from the donors' homes to the homes of the people who need the furniture. It's a great team effort!

If you would like to sign up to help, please reach out to Elder Beth McFarland who is coordinating our effort.
