Fret not yourself…
Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Psalm 37:1-3 How do I pray for stuff like the Navy Yard shooting? I was off-line […]
Have you found your place?
Community, Getting Involved, Life Together 1
The scriptures tell us that the Church is the Body of Christ, and like our physical bodies, it has lots of different parts (read: people) that do different things to uniquely meet the Body’s many needs. God has created each of us to occupy a unique place in his Church. Part of what that means […]

I am drawn to the Gospel because of the density of the stories and teaching, and I am consistently enthralled with Jesus’s love and service to the marginalized.

Community, Generosity, Getting Involved, Loving Arlington, Outreach 0
So, why do we band together each Sunday afternoon in the summer to pick up the typically one ton (!) of leftover produce from the Columbia Pike Farmer’s Market, taking it back to the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) for repackaging? We do it for two simple reasons: 1. It’s a way […]
