Volunteers Needed for Fall Bishop Visitation

We are delighted to welcome Bishop Mark Bourlakas, Assisting Bishop for Northern Virginia, who will visit us on Sunday, November 23rd.

We will celebrate with a single service at 10:30 a.m., followed by a special reception to honor the Bishop, our confirmand, and their families.

🍽️ Potluck Request: Bring a Dish to Share

Please consider bringing a dish to share for the reception! To ensure a smooth reception, please observe the following guidelines:

• Ready-to-Serve: All food must arrive ready to be placed directly on the serving table. Please bring your dish on its own serving platter or bowl.

• Take It Home: Please be prepared to take home your serving dish and any remaining leftovers immediately after the reception. We cannot store leftovers in the church refrigerator or freezer, as the kitchen must be cleared for upcoming events.

🤝 Set-Up Crew Needed!

We need world-class volunteers to help with pre-service set-up!

Please join us at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 23rd, to lay out tablecloths, plates, cups, and utensils. The tables will be staged in advance, so your help will be critical in making the reception area warm and welcoming before the food arrives.

Thank you in advance for making this celebration special and supporting the newest confirmed members of our church! If you would like to contribute food or help set-up, please fill out the Sign Up Genius form here: Volunteer Sign-Up
