SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

WELCOME TO OUR WORSHIP

Our worship will be a family service with a fully interactive sermon for youth and adults. Hint: Listening for the people in each reading will be key.  The readings include 1 Kings 17:8-24, Psalm 146, Galatians 1:11-14, and Luke 7:11-17. Next Sunday our worship will be at the Bishop Claggett Center, followed by our church picnic. Burgers, dogs, condiments, and all paper goods are provided. Please bring a dish to share (no peanuts or peanut butter, please) and your drink.We will eat at 11:45 and be ready to depart by 1:00. Please click HERE to let us know you are coming (and please plan to attend). It takes about an hour to drive to Claggett.

NEWS BREAK: VESTRY UPDATE
The vestry has agreed to move forward with a re-branding/relaunch for SRC. The relaunch event will happen in the fall in late September or early to mid October, specific date still TBD. We are still praying about possible names for our church. Names under consideration include: Christ Church at South Riding, Church of Our Redeemer, Holy Trinity, Christ Our Hope, Faith Anglican, Church of the Resurrection, Sanctuary Anglican, Good Shepherd Anglican, Solid Rock Anglican, and Christ the Rock Anglican. Some of these may be reworked to move the word "Anglican" to an ancillary line, and a tag line might be added to describe our location. WE ARE STILL RECEIVING NAMES! Please share your thoughts with any vestry person, Pastor Becki+, or by email. We want to hear from you!
