We Remember: Memorial Sunday at Epiphany
This Sunday at Epiphany we will remember, as is right for us to do, those who have lost their lives in the conflicts of our nation. For some, or possibly even many of us, this will include people we know and love. We will remember in two ways. First, we will remember in our prayers. When we give thanks for those who have died “in the faith of Christ” this Sunday, we will give special thanks for those who gave their lives in military service. Secondly, when we take communion this Sunday, we will use two very special chalices from communion sets that were carried by military chaplains to the far corners the world.
Pentecost in the Park is this Sunday (May 15)
God takes care of His people, the church is more than a building, and we are all called to mission. We celebrate all of these things this Sunday as we worship and picnic together at the pavilion at Frying Pan Park (2739 West Ox Rd, Herndon, VA 20171) at 10 am.
