Summer Study Series: the Seven Deadly Sins
Director of Formation Megan Hoskins will offer a summer series exploring the 7 Deadly Sins through literature on Sunday mornings 9:30 - 10:15. Each session will look at a different sin as it is encountered in a short work of fiction by a distinguished author. The stories provide a look at the range of possibilities for human behavior, and raise questions about the moral life. Read the stories in advance and come to discuss. No need to RSVP. Join us for any or all of the sessions.

Parish Lunch Line
On the third Sunday of every month, we gather in the parish kitchen to make sandwiches for clients of Northern Virginia Family Service's Bailey's Crossroads shelter. The next lunch line is Sunday, July 21 at 11:30 a.m. We work for about 45 minutes to assemble and package sandwiches with the supplies we have on hand. All are welcome to come help out for as much time as you can spare. We are always accepting donations of lunch meat, cheese, and bread.
