Pentecost Party! - Sunday, May 20, 2012
Come join us for a Pentecost Party on Sunday, May 20, 9:30 am in Fellowship Hall. Pentecost is on May 27 but since we will not have Sunday school that day we are having our party early to prepare for Pentecost. We will begin with music, hear a story, do some craft projects and celebrate the birthday of the church with cupcakes. Bring a box of cereal for the ALIVE! Food Pantry. Children of God of all ages are invited. For more details click here.

Service Sunday - June 3, 2012
Service Sunday is an opportunity for volunteers to assist service organizations in the Alexandria area with various projects. There are opportunities for adults, youth and children, and projects can last just a few hours or longer. This is a wonderful way to introduce children to service for others and let them have an opportunity to see first-hand how some of our community organizations work. To sign up for Service Sunday, please visit our web sign-up page, or contact Lindsey Merchant.

Mission Connect
Earlier this year, the Mission Committee launched a new initiative called Mission Connect that offers mission events with an emphasis on fellowship. We hope that this “connectional” approach to mission work will help Meeting House members and friends get to know each other better while doing good work in our community. Click here for a current list of upcoming events for May and June (additional events may be added). We hope you will join us at a Mission Connect event soon!

Vacation Bible School at the Old Presbyterian Meeting House provides an opportunity for children of the church and the surrounding neighborhoods to learn God’s stories from the Bible and to experience Christian fellowship with other children under the guidance of caring adult and teen volunteers. This year’s VBS is set for July 23-27, 9:00-11:30 am. Registration materials are now available online, or for printing out and mailing in to the church office.
