On Nov 13, we gather in the sanctuary for one service at 10am to make our annual pledge commitments, Building the Beloved Community. We then assemble in Pope Hall for a stewardship luncheon and fellowship.

Feel the warmth of the Beloved Community on Oct 30, between worship services. Members of Stewardship will greet you in the church lobby with hospitality, coffee and donuts, and activities.

We observe All Saints’ Day on Sunday, Nov 6.  If you have a loved one who passed away in the year since last All Saint’s Day and would like to have them acknowledged on All Saints’ Day, please email the church office.

Pledge packets are available now! If you have not yet picked yours up, you can find one with your name on it on the table in the church lobby this Sunday. Remaining packets will be mailed next week.

Don’t miss one of the casual gatherings for the Beloved Community pledge drive. Gatherings will be from Oct 18-23—two at church and two in homes. It’s time to get together and visit with each other. Call the church or sign up in the lobby.

“Since arriving in DC, I’ve found myself being asked “what questions I want answered this year and how I want this experience as a YAV to change me?” Drew Hill begins his post on his Year of Service as a PCUSA Young Adult Volunteer.

The Building the Beloved Community pledge season kicks off in service to others! We are collecting specific items for the students in our own Child Development Center. Drop off donations Saturday, Oct 15, 10-noon, or bring to church Oct 16.

Our Beloved Community Pledge Drive kicks off October 15-16 with a drop off of items for our Child Development Center, then continues with Gatherings in church and at homes October 18-23, and then wraps up with Pledge Sunday on November 13.
