It’s all about Jesus and it’s all about packing an Operation Christmas Child shoebox! Your shoebox will be an expression of God’s love to a child and may be the only gift he or she receives. Shoeboxes will be available starting Sunday October 18 and must be returned by November 15. Bless a child and fill a shoebox either in person or online. Questions, call Judy Corcoran at 703-314-9857.

“The Lord Will Provide” is a beautiful reminder that we don’t have to carry every worry or figure everything out on our own. God sees what we need, remains faithful through every season, and provides in ways we may not always expect. It’s a song of trust, surrender, and confidence in His goodness.

Please join us for an evening of faith, fellowship, food, and fun! No experience required! Whether you have never heard of Bunco, never played before, or have played extensively, Bunco provides an easy way to meet new ladies and enjoy time with those you may already know. RSVP by Wednesday, October 21.

Each year, Christians around the world unite to pray for those who face persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ. The annual International Day of Prayer is an opportunity for the global church to remember those who suffer, hear their stories and internationally lift their needs before God.  During our service on November 1, we will take a moment to pray for those being persecuted. Also, materials will be available after the service in the lobby with additional information to help you learn more about this important subject. 

As we continue our Year of the Bible, we're discovering two unique portraits of Jesus! Luke highlights the compassionate Savior who came to seek and save the lost, while John reveals the eternal Word who became flesh to give us everlasting life. Together, they help us see Jesus more clearly. Click below to read this week's overview of Luke and John.
