Reminder: Service Event on Saturday!
Hi Everybody,
This is a reminder of this coming Saturday's service opportunity from 8:30 a.m. to noon at King of Kings Lutheran Church, Fairfax.
Stop Hunger Now is a meal packaging program run by an international hunger relief organization that coordinates the distribution of food around the world. The organization is driven by a vision to end world hunger in our lifetime.
On June 16, using an assembly line process, we'll package 10,000 meals in just two hours. The Stop Hunger Now meals are highly nutritious, dehydrated meals comprised of rice, soy, vegetables, flavoring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals. Each meal costs approximately 25 cents to make. The meals are easy to transport, store and distribute to those in greatest need.
Here's the schedule for Saturday, June 16th:
8:30 a.m. Light breakfast
9:00 a.m. Briefing/instructions/begin preparing meals
12:00 Noon Finish
King of Kings is located about 7 miles northwest of GMU at 4025 Kings Way, Fairfax, 22033, just off US 50 and just west of the Fairfax County Parkway.
Interested? Please let me know via e-mail or phone. Please indicate if you need transportation to get there.

Freshman orientations begin on Monday. If you're on campus and see a bewildered face, stop and say hi. (It could be me!)
Blessings,
Terry

I hope some of you will join us! Oh, yes—we are considering co-sponsoring a Stop Hunger Now event on campus with United College Ministries during Hunger and Homelessness Action Week in November. This would be a great opportunity to see firsthand what the program is all about—and to help those in need while having fellowship with fellow Christians!
Grace and peace,
Pastor Terry

"Come, join the dance of Trinity, before all worlds begun—
the interweaving of the Three, the Father, Spirit, Son.
The universe of space and time did not arise by chance,
but as the Three, in love and hope, made room within their dance."
