We are so excited to have well over 125 people signed up for our Envision Event this Sunday!! The most important thing for everyone to know right now is that there will be no regular worship times this weekend. So, no Saturday at 5:30 and no 8:15 and 10:30 on Sunday and no Sunday School classes. We are infusing all our weekend worship into this very special day on October 16th from 8:15am-4:45pm in the fellowship hall. 

Club 123 and Club 456 will resume on November 19th to make room for the Envision Event. More info to come on that!

Prince of Peace has a yearly tradition where we read the names of loved ones who have gone before us to their heavenly home. This year the names will be read at the services on the weekend of November 5 & 6. If you have a loved one you would like added to this list please reply to this email with the full name of the person and a picture. If you need help with this please call Tiffany in the church office at 703-451-5855.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. We are so blessed to know many pastors who have blessed our lives and churches. Please take time to tell the pastors that you know that you love them and appreciate all they do for us.

ECHO Gets Ready for the Holidays!

Thanksgiving and Christmas might seem a long way away, but ECHO is planning now to connect donors with struggling families who can really appreciate a festive holiday meal. Again, this year, we are suggesting that donors give grocery gift cards so clients can purchase foods their families prefer, though delivery of groceries is also an option. Thanksgiving meals should be delivered no later than November 19 and Christmas meals by December 18. To get more information and/or participate as a donor, email franalaneck@msn.com and you will receive information from Fran or from Sue Anne Sobart in early November.

Our neighbor David Hughes Orthodontics will be holding a blood drive on Thursday, November 3, from 12-5 pm at 8314 Traford Ln. Book your appointment HERE.
