September Update

Dear friends,

My e-mails won't always be so close together, but I want to make sure a few upcoming ministry opportunities are on your radar (like the hike this Saturday) and update our plans for our mom's morning out. See below. Further, I value your input. Please fill out this brief survey as I consider next steps.

Warmly,

David

Upcoming Events

Monthly Hikes

Details: First Saturdays in Fall. 9:00 a.m to roughly 10:30.
September 5: Lubber Run Community Center and Park Meet by the pickleball courts.
October 3: Lake Accotink Park Meet at small parking lot by the carousel.
November 7: Mason District Park. Meet in the parking lot nearest Pudge Rodriguez Field.
Description: Monthly hikes are a chance to connect with other women at the church, to spend time in creation, and to acknowledge our Creator. The paths are relatively smooth and flat (not strenuous). We usually organically split up into pairs or small groups of people who want to walk at a similar pace. After the hike we enjoy coffee, snacks, and time for fellowship and prayer.

CTK Mom's Bible Study (Previously Mom's Morning Out).

Details: Every Wednesday beginning September 16. 9:30-11:00 at Christ the King
Description: Join us on Wednesday mornings for a time of fellowship, encouragement and community. Moving forward we'll rename this: This fall, we will study the book of James, exploring practical wisdom walking with God in the midst of everyday motherhood. Study books will be available for purchase. Currently, infants and toddlers play while moms supervise, but we would love to have a few volunteers to provide child-care and a little respite!
Contact: For more information or to volunteer, contact: Women.min@ctkalexandria.org

Thursday Morning Bible Study

Details: Thursdays, beginning September 24. 10:00-11:30. This study is hosted at a parishioner's home. Please contact women.min@ctkalexandria.org for address.
Topic: Saints and Scoundrels by Nancy Guthrie. The story of Jesus in the Gospels includes all kinds of interesting people—some who claimed to be saints but proved to be scoundrels, as well as scoundrels who were transformed into saints. Saints and Scoundrels in the Story of Jesus provides a fresh look into the grace of Jesus towards the worst of sinners.
Description: Study will start with fellowship, followed by discussion, concluding with prayer. The study guide will be available on Thursday, Sept 24 as an additional opportunity to go deeper in Scripture during the week.

Women's Christmas Tea

Details: Saturday, December 12. 10:30-12:00. Belle Haven Country Club
Description: This annual event is a wonderful tradition in our church and great opportunity for those without a church home. You'll enjoy tea and refreshments, good conversation and a simple reminder of the good news that we celebrate at Christmas.
