On The Table

Hello, Church:

Just a couple of items to note this week:

Tina and Mike have moved up their big move to this Saturday, May 19. They'll be moving from 508 Plum St., Vienna, VA 22180 to 13337 Feldman Pl., Herndon, VA 20170, beginning at 10am. Their current plan seems to be to counteract the presence of boxes of rocks (no kidding!) with grilled steak and margaritas, so it ought to be interesting, to say the least.


As we continue our exploration of the roots of our faith through our observation of the Jewish calendar, we come to a happy overlap with our current blooms series. Shavuot is a festival where the first-fruits of the people's crops are offered up to God. So the Design Team (the fine folks who plan and execute our Sunday gatherings) would like you to bring a symbol of the first-fruits of your life-- maybe a symbol of a friendship, or a rewarding project, or a piece of art, or an exercise program, or a clean house, or a small child. Where is God blessing you? Bring some symbol of that blessing, and we'll celebrate together this Sunday morning at 10am at Jammin' Java.

Finally, since next weekend is Memorial Day, we expect that many of us will be traveling. But for those left behind, our GNU Team (an open-source group devoted to Giving to Needs Unmet) is combing our relational networks to organize a service project for our enjoyment and formation. Stay tuned for more details.

Later,
Mike
