Friends,
Saturday, April 21, is our monthly service-worship project, our regular opportunity to worship through serving our neighbors. This week we're finally going to be able to help meet a need we've been aware of for some time. The
Chapman family has been putting up with the aging carpet in their home for a while, despite
Ryan's asthma and allergies and the fact that a fully carpeted home is just not practical with two young kids. The project was cost-prohibitive for a long time, but now, thanks to a generous donation of flooring materials by a Chapman family member, we are finally getting our chance to do the work. This will also be a great chance to welcome
baby Grant by helping his family in a very practical way. In fact, this is the second
large construction project we've undertaken to welcome a new baby -- I hope the tradition sticks!
So, our construction site is the Chapman family home (
14305 Grape Holly Grove, Unit 14, Centreville). We'll be getting started at 9:00, with coffee and bagels provided. Our support/childcare location will be the Doan home (
15207 Sovereign Place, Chantilly). We'll probably be working all day, so come whenever you can and stay as long as you can -- it should be a fun day and a great chance to spend time together.
Don't forget, next week Sunday (April 29) our service will be a Passover Seder Dinner at the
Fairfax Station Railroad Museum from 5:00 to 8:00.
See you Saturday,
Deanna
