Join us for a special Friday evening together with a dinner hosted by one of our parishioners from 5:30pm - 7pm. Afterwards, come celebrate Eucharist at All Saints Church at 7:30pm. This is a wonderful time to gather and break bread together as a church family. The Friday evening Eucharist kicks off a weekend of spiritually-enriching fellowship and worship with our diocese during the Synod - the annual assembly of clergy and laity for our diocese.

I announced a few weeks ago that beginning on January 22, 2023, we will begin meeting for weekly worship at Prince of Peace Lutheran School (8306 Old Keene Mill Rd, Springfield, VA 22152). I want to share a bit more detail about how we (me and the building team) came to find our new space, what I am excited about in this new space, a timeline for the move, and how you have the opportunity to help us get there.

This Fall we will partner with Food Justice DMV to serve immigrants and refugees who are experiencing food insecurity. Immigrants and asylum seekers have risked so much to get here and the pandemic has shined a light on the inequality about who gets to eat. Food Justice DMV serves thousands of households in Virginia on a hyper local level and we have the opportunity to donate items that will go directly into the hands of households near us that need them most.

The final chapter of Exodus gives me great hope as a church planter. God cares deeply that his people are formed in worship, and yet His glory fills the tabernacle which is constantly on the move. He cares about detail and reverence, and less about permanence. There have been several places where I feel like we’ve lifted up the tabernacle and moved to the next spot in the short history of our church.

This is our first opportunity as a church plant to celebrate the entirety of Lent together! Here is a brief description of Lent, our sermon series, and opportunities to participate.
