Make a Difference!

prison-feature

 

This Sunday, October 23, join us in worship with the young men and women at the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center.

Your participation matters to the residents, as the staff repeatedly tells us how we make a difference in the young men and women’s lives and the lives of the staff!

All you need to do is show up and worship!

We meet at 1:00 pm at the Juvenile Detention Center. Hope to see you there!

Pender’s Toys for Tots Campaign

toys-for-tots

 

The bins for collection of new toys and books are now in the coat rack area. As many of you already know, besides needing to be new, these donations cannot contain any food and cannot have any relation to guns.

Our campaign will end on Dec. 11th, so that members of the Marine Corps will have enough time to deliver our gifts to less fortunate children for Christmas.
