Gain insights into our Church-wide theme of “Serving to Glorify God (1 Peter 4:11).” Please email me if you consider attending this event. And yes, your friends are invit-ed.

Youth Ministry Service Project: Satur-day, November 14th from 1:45pm to 3:30pm, we will meet at Westminster at Lake Ridge to serve through a “Ministry of Presence” and fellowship. A “Ministry of Presence” means that our physical attend-ance blesses and becomes a gift to anoth-er person. Therefore, we will play bingo and serve apple cider and cookies to the residents. Our intentional fellowship will communicate that they are not forgotten and that God cares for them. Sign-up to-day in the Narthex or contact Rev. McNeill for details at 703- 670-0184.
