On The Table
The Weekly Announcement of Common Table ChurchThursday, August 28, 2008
August 24th through September 1st
Hey church,
This weekend is Labor Day weekend, and it's also the last weekend of the month - the weekend that we typically don't gather for a worship service at Jammin' Java, but instead gather to help some friends - we call this "service-worship" or (following the Amish) a "barn raising".
This weekend will be no exception: No gathering at Jammin' Java, but we'll be lending a hand to the mighty mighty Chapmans (Becky, Ryan, Sophie, and Grant) who just bought a house (yeah!) to clean out their old condo (in Centreville) for renting and to move into their new place (in Chantilly)! There will be opportunities to help all (long) weekend long, from moving their stuff, to cleaning out their old place, to cleaning their new place, to taming the jungle in their new back yard. There are dozens of ways to help, so if you'd like to help, please contact us and we'll hook you up.
And that's it for next week, though next week includes a return to Karaoke at the Lamb Center (6:30pm Thursday) and a return to our series of worship services on the Psalms at Jammin' Java (10am Sunday). Please join us for any or all of these gatherings.
May these waning days of summer be warm and blessed!
Peace,
Mike Croghan

April 16 through 22
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
