Adopt a Garden |
Beginning July a list landscape tasks will be posted on the church's Narthex bulletin board to ask for volunteers to help maintain or adopt a designated area of our church property. Some examples would be the parking lot islands, exterior plants, picnic tables, signs, lighting, weeding (weed whacking), drainage pond maintenance and sidewalks. Please take a look at the opportunities for volunteering your skilled labor.
If you have questions contact Tom Bannon at 540-786-2882 or email him at [email protected] |

Stewardship Metrics |
For purposes of measuring our progress in being good stewards, we've determined a number of metrics which we'll share in our monthly newsletter. Our first metric is the "Giving Unit".
We define a "giving unit" as a confirmed and communing member of our congregation - or a married couple of confirmed and communing members.
As of 01 July 2009 we have 215 Giving Units in our Congregation.
Of those, 120 (about 56%) contributed financially to the life of our congregation by giving to the Mission and Ministry Fund.
