Crop Walk to End Hunger

Published on by Angela Finet

We will once again be partnering with Manassas Church of the Brethren in the CROP Walk. This is a great even for the entire family. We will gather at Nokesville Park on Sunday, October 13 at 2 p.m. to walk.

This is the 50th Anniversary of the Crop Hunger Walk.  In 1969, teens in Bismarck, North Dakota and York County, Pennsylvania decided it was time to do something for families who had to walk miles for food and clean water. So they walked…and, because they took that first step, hunger has forever been changed.

In celebration, we will be spending time in worship on Sunday, October 13, examining what Jesus has to say about caring for the hungry.  And then, we will give “feet” to our worship!

Invite friends and family to support your walk with their donations. You can bring checks or cash with you, or friends can donate online.

Wave of Light Service

Published on by Angela Finet

Please join us for the Wave of Light service on Tuesday, October 15 at 6:45 pm.  Founded in 2003, the Wave of Light service provides a space for baby-loss families, friends and loved ones from around the world to join in honor and remembrance of their loved and longed for babies.

As each timezone lights and keeps their candles burning for an hour, there is a continuous chain of light that spans the globe in memory of all children who pass away during pregnancy and in infancy.  Out of respect for our grieving families, nursery care is available for children ages birth – 3.  Please share with those you know who would benefit from this service.
