Spring Cleanup Volunteer Opportunities

Last month our Faith Formation and Confirmation classes participated in a group activity on caring for God's Earth. Building on that theme, we're sharing some opportunities to volunteer in cleanups of local waterways, parks, trails and woods this Spring.

Below are some of the organizations hosting spring cleanups in our area:

• The Nature Conservancy in partnership with Fairfax County Park Authority (www.nature.org/vavolunteer)
• Anacostia Riverkeeper (www.anacostiariverkeeper.org)
• Ward 8 Woods (https://ward8woods.org)

You can click here to see a full list of volunteer opportunities. A big thank you to Liz Hernandi for putting this together.

We hope you will consider volunteering in a cleanup this Spring!

Pastor Josh and PSK will be taking the students on a Confirmation Retreat April 29 – 30. We will leave at 9 am on Saturday morning and return Sunday by 12 pm. We will be traveling to Camp Caroline Furnace, spending time in fellowship and having fun.

Thank you to everyone that volunteered at the Pancake Supper. It was a successful fundraiser for our youth mission trips!

High School Bagels and Bibles

Do you have questions about your life, God, the Bible or your Faith? Then bring your questions and we will explore what the Bible has to tell us about where God is in your life and today's world.  Never attended before? Can't come every week? No problem! Come whenever your schedule permits. 

We meet for bagels and search for answers every Sunday morning at 9:45 am in the teen center. Any questions please contact Kim Wenk at kbwenk@gmail.com or 703-909-3424.  Hope to see you soon!
