Dialog

Dialog – the conversation between characters in a story. The dialog can fill in information gaps, give glimpses into the personality of the people talking, or set the tone for future action. Often the dialog can communicate more efficiently than a long wordy description. We all participate in dialogs that are part of our life story. Now and then we may wish we could have a do-over because the things said weren’t pleasant or kind. Sometimes we wish we could express our opinions more clearly, our feelings more eloquently, or our plans more concisely. Dialog is fluid and there will be times when words come out of your mouth before you really know it. Writing dialog is more complicated than simple sentences. That makes sense because communication between two or more people can be complicated.

The Weekday Preschool is looking for volunteers to bake cookies for our Christmas program. In lieu of our traditional punch and cookie party, after the performance, we thought it would be nice to send of families home with a package of one dozen cookies. We are asking for at least 20 plates or boxes of cookies to hand out as the parents leave the program. The Christmas program will be held on Thursday, December 16. If you can help provide cookies please contact Linda Dhar at 703-435-6397.

Refugee Ministry Mission Group

The newly organized Refugee Mission Group has identified some immediate need items that we as a Church can contribute to the Afghan Resettlement that is ongoing at Quantico Marine Base and at Ft. Pickett near Richmond.

Various Churches have designated November 14 as “Undie Sunday” to begin collecting underwear. Specifically, Women's regular and Women's maternity underwear and bras Sizes small, medium, large and extra large; Men’s underwear small, medium, large and extra large; and Children’s girls and boys small medium and large.

There is an immediate need for 2000 of each kind at Ft. Picket.

The Refugee Mission Group will also be collecting gift cards for Thanksgiving. Suggested gift cards are Giant, Lotte, Harris Teeter, Safeway, and Aldi grocery cards; Uber or Lift cards or a visa card that can be used for whatever is needed.

Starting Sunday, November 21 we will have a collection site near the Sanctuary for the gift cards and underwear.

The next group meeting is Wednesday, December 1 at 7:30PM Via Zoom

As our church continues to slowly and safely open back up there are new opportunities for you to serve and help our congregation run smoothly. Here are three areas where we need volunteers.

1. Join The Church Choir – Advent begins Sunday, November 28 and this seems like a good time to bring our choir back and have rehearsal again. Rehearsal is at 9:00AM on Sunday Mornings. You do not have to read music! Just come and make a joyful noise! To join the Choir just show up for rehearsal on November 28.

2. Worship Ushers – Leah Florence has done a great job serving as our sole usher during Covid19. Thank you, Leah! Now she needs some help. If you would like to usher, please email me at ssrob72@yahoo.com.

3. Sound Team – Dylan Rosenburg moved from being the head of our usher team to working in the sound booth. Dylan could use one or two people who would be willing to learn the system and run the sound from time to time. We only use a few microphones so its not as hard as it seems. Plus, Kyle Florence, who runs the livestream is up near the booth and can help with any questions or issues the sound tech might have. Email me at ssrob72@yahoo.com if you would like to serve on the sound team.

Don’t forget you can help the Preschool with Cookies for the Christmas program and help the Mission team with items for the refugees. See information Below.
