Exciting Things Are Happening at South Riding Church

Sunday, Oct. 2: Parish Picnic and visit from Young LIfe Staffer, Margaret Murphy (new to our community)

I am excited to have Margaret come and share the vision for Young LIfe's ministry in the SR area. If you have teens, or are a teen, or will have teens in the next few years, or have a passion to share Jesus with teens, this ministry will excite you! Let's show margaret a warn SRCA welcome!

After church on Sunday we will head over to the Branch home / welcome center lawn for our annual picnic. Please bring lawn chairs and a dish to share (if you didn't sign up, just bring something you figure folks will enjoy.) EVERYONE is welcome - and please invite your neighbors! And - does anyone have a volleyball net with stands, and a ball that we can borrow? If so, could you email and let me know. 

Friday, Oct. 7 - Sunday, Oct. 9: Men's get-away to the "Crab Shack," Theme: Fishers of Men (or is it an excuse to be fishermen?) All men welcome, even if you can only come for part of the time!

Saturday, November 12: Women's "Seaside Escape," Location: The Bishop Claggett Center, about an hour from SR. Come away for a day to refresh and re-energize. Open to all ladies in the parish, daughters in grades 6 and up, and their invited guests. Register today. Cost is $35.00 and includes lunch and materials. 

Saturday, Dec. 10: Women's trip to NYC. Look for the signup sheet. Cost will depend on how many women are going. We will rent a van (driver already in place) or hire a buss if we have enough women to make it the better value). 

Ministry to Children and Youth

All children and youth are asked to bring their Bibles to Sunday school. (This is a good idea for adults, too - so you can mark the readings, etc)

Children will be making tote bags in which to carry their Bibles and journals back and forth to church. Please help  your child remember! If  your child does not have a good children's Bible, please talk to Pastor Becki so one can be provided. 

NEEDED: NURSERY WORKER

We are looking to hire a nursery worker. The starting pay is $15.00 per hour, for 2 hours each Sunday. Once the probationary period has been successfully completed, the wages go to $20.00 per hour.  Please ask around where you live, work, and play. Until someone is hired, we will need volunteers to staff the nursery.
