SRCA News and Notes

Dear Parish Family,

Sunday we will welcome the worship band from The Fellowship of Christ The Savior, an Anglican church plant in the Baltimore area. They graciously agreed to assist this morning so Tom and Teri could have some much needed time off.

Please continue to invite friends and neighbors to our event next Sunday, August 22. Pick up some fliers on Sunday and hand them out to your neighbors. We need all hands on deck to man the event; you can sign up on the hospitality table. We also have some church business cards; these may be given to folks you might meet  - pray and hand them out as the Lord leads – he WILL lead you! It is so important that we are in the business of inviting others to "Come and see that the Lord is good."

We will need help at 8:00 to set up some of the activities. Please volunteer to help with set up and clean up (about 1:30). Needs include: any size folding tables for games and activities, canopies, and traffic cones. Please email if you can help by loaning us any of the above items. Please drop any items you may have off at 8 am on Sunday morning, Aug 22. Please stay and help with set up if possible. This set up is independent of the regular church worship set up.

South Riding's fall yard sale is September 11, and we have reserved a table. Please weed through your BOOKS, DVDs and MUSIC CDs and plan to donate them for the yard sale. We will have drop off information in the near future. A few good folks are needed to man the table. All funds raised will go to outreach.

Our readings for this Sunday include Jeremiah 23:23-29. Psalm 82, Hebrews 11:29-12:2, and Luke 12:49-56. The thunderous thought for the day is "We are not alone." We are, indeed, surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. What does that mean? In today's culture there is much confusion about the occult, about loved ones that have gone on before us, about spirits and ghosts. What does it really mean for us to be surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses? 

Join us this Sunday for worship. Church is not like school - it doesn't close forthe summer. WE are here each week faithfully worshipping the God who first loved us.

Faithfully,

Becki+
