The Gospel of Mark 10:46-52
Jesus asks Bartimaeus:
“What would you like me to do?”
October 24th: Hybrid Children’s Chapel in the Garden and on Zoom at 10 a.m.
This Sunday, we will have our traditional Children’s Chapel-- hearing the Gospel story, sharing our prayers of gratefulness, and exchanging Christ’s Peace. On Zoom and in person, we will hear the much-beloved story of Jesus Healing Blind Bartimaeus. This resonates especially with children who frequently cite it when asked for a story about Jesus helping someone. We will practice asking others, “How may I help you?” “What do you need?” Enjoy the script to act out this story at home and the worship bulletins for children!

Thank You to all who donated coats to our new Afghan Neighbors
ADAMS Center will be doing one more distribution at the end of the month, so you may continue to bring in your new or like-new, cleaned, very gently used winter coats for men, women and children in all sizes, to be donated to all three military bases in Virginia now housing refugees. If you are making donations of gently-worn coats, please make sure the coats are in like-new condition (no tears, broken zippers, missing buttons, etc.) and have been washed or dry-cleaned. Deadline to drop off coats is Wednesday, October 26 by 12:00 noon. Questions? Contact Sara Thorne, sara@ccpk.org.
Want to help further? Team Rubicon, the volunteer veterans’ group at Fort Pickett has established an Amazon wish list with the items most need at the facility to support the refugee community living there while waiting for their new homes in the U.S. To support these families, please visit this link on Amazon . There are instructions at the top of the wish list page to have your purchased items shipped directly to Ft. Pickett. Your generosity will indeed be putting love in action. Thank you.

Our Next Sacred Ground Circle Starts Soon
Join Us Beginning Sunday, November 7th, from 2pm-3:30.
Sacred Ground is a film- and readings-based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories. Sessions will be led by Sr. Warden Kurt Ellison and The Rev. Sara Thorne. If you are interested in joining us for these important conversations, please contact Kurt for more details, kurt.a.ellison@gmail.com
