SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

WELCOME 
Please join us for worship on the Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany, the growing season, when we are built up so we can share the light of Christ with those around us.

THANK YOU
Many thanks to those who were able to contribute to the funeral expenses of the first grader at Brad's school. We collected a total of $1076.00. Thanks to your incredible generosity we were able to at least ease the financial strain on a family during a time of deep sorrow and grief. Well done!
 
PRAYERS FOR THE PARISH
We will meet at the Englehardt's in Stone Ridge this Tuesday. We begin at 7:15 and end at 8:30. Prayer is our most important work. Please remember to pray for our parish and our community.
 
VESTRY PRAYER REQUEST
The vestry continues to explore establishing a 24/7 presence in or near South Riding. Please pray daily for God's way forward in this so we do not miss God's leading.

WOMEN'S LUNCH
Ladies, please plan to attend this Sunday's women's lunch gathering. The location is still TBD, so let your wishes be known! All women of the parish are invited, and it would be a wonderful time to bring a guest. Please email the office at SRCAnglican@gmail.com if you can attend.  

SAVE THE DATE
Our annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper will be held on Tuesday, February 12th. Come enjoy wonderful pancakes, sausage and fellowship. Donations are requested, and will be used to pay our child sponsorship for Gladys, our Ghanaian child. Ash Wednesdayservices will follow the next day at the church townhouse. Service times are 7 AM and 7:30 PM. The early service is less than 30 minutes long, to get you on your way to work or school.

BIRTHDAY
Someone in our midst will be celebrating a special "0" birthday on Sunday, March 3rd. Pastor Becki and Meghan are planning a lunch for this person, and invite the parish to attend. The lunch will be at the Church Townhouse. Please save the date!
 
FAMILY CAMP
Our 4th annual Family Camp will be held June 14 – 16, and the cost is a bit less than last year! Our theme will be "Roamin Roman Holiday." The activities will be a blend of new adventures and old favorites. Sign up early! You won't want to miss the fun!!
 

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
VBS has long been a dream of many at SRC. We are looking at the possibility of having a home based VBS program this summer. Please consider what time of summer would enable your children to come, and whether you would be willing to be a host home or volunteer leader. An information meeting will be scheduled in early February.
 
SOUTH RIDING CHURCH is a church in the Anglican tradition. We are a member of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DoMA), and the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA).
