Feed Fairfax 5k

Feed Fairfax 5k

Are you ready to lace up your sneakers for a cause that hits close to home? Join us for the Feed Fairfax 5k, a family-friendly event that’s more than just a race—it’s a chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of Fairfax County students facing food insecurity. Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 4th, and head to the Greenbriar Shopping Center for an exhilarating morning of community spirit and goodwill.

The Feed Fairfax 5K isn’t just any race. Set against the scenic backdrop of Fairfax, Virginia’s Greenbriar neighborhood, this event kicks off at 8 AM EDT with options for everyone: a physical 5K, a virtual 5K, a 1-mile Fun Run/Walk, and a special 5K for those 18 & under. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or looking for a fun family activity, this event is perfect for you.

But the real race to the finish line is for a cause: providing weekend meal kits and Power Packs to one in six children in our community who need it most. And there’s a heartwarming twist—right after you cross the finish line, you’ll have the unique opportunity to pack the food your race entry helped fund. Join fellow participants at our food packing event to prepare Power Packs—backpack meals that ensure students have enough to eat over the weekend.

The meals you help pack will be delivered to hungry children in the following week, making an immediate impact in their lives.

Don’t miss out on this inspiring event! Learn more and register today to be part of something bigger. Let’s run, have fun, and fight hunger together in Fairfax County.

Remember to Change your Clock Tonight!

fall-back-feature

Daylight Saving Time 2023 ends for the year so the clock change for the fall takes place in the morning at 2 a.m. Daylight Saving Time 2023 seems overdue, but it is the same time each year.

The clock changes on the first Sunday in November. Daylight Saving Time starts on the second Sunday in March each year.

And, time to sing again…

Today is World Communion Sunday ~ October 1, 2023

World Communion Sunday offers us an opportunity to experience Holy Communion in the context of the global community of faith.

The first Sunday of October has become a time when Christians in every culture break bread and pour the cup to remember and affirm Christ as the Head of the Church.

On that day, we remember that we are part of the whole body of believers.

Christians celebrate the communion liturgy in as many ways as there are congregations. World Communion Sunday can be both a profound worship experience and a time for learning more about our wider community of faith.

Because Pastor Bruce is away, we will celebrate at Pender next Sunday.
