FORUM SUNDAY DEC 15

FACING OUT

Join us after church in the undercroft common room for a forum led by our Senior Warden, Philip Chalk. Philip will present a future vision for the church rooted in an authentically Anglican perspective that helps draw people closer to God. This forum builds on Philip’s wonderful offering at our Shrine Mont parish weekend.

CHRISTMAS FLOWERS

Poinsettias will be used to decorate the church for the Christmas services. Flower offerings may be given as memorials or thanksgivings. Please look for the donation envelopes on the table in the back of the sanctuary. Drop envelopes in the offering plate or call April in the church office (703) 356-7533 by Wed December 18th.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES

Please join us as we celebrate Christmas. We will have a service at 4pm on Christmas Eve geared towards families. We will have an 8pm service on Christmas Eve with brass accompaniment and prelude music starting at 7:45pm.

On Christmas Day, we will have a service at 10am in the chapel with a creative liturgy of Holy Eucharist. These services provide a great opportunity to invite a friend to church.
