The Rev. Mike McNamara, National Capital Presbytery's Mission Specialist, will be at Warner's 11:00 worship service this Sunday to share a brief report about what our presbytery is doing in mission, with support from Warner. Please don't be late to the service so you won't miss our Moment for Mission. Be sure to give Mike a warm Warner welcome!

Help This Sunday!

It's summertime at WMPC and that means moving furniture! Please come Sunday to the LCYC classrooms this Sunday, July 31, at 10:00 am. We will be rearranging furniture for floor polishing. Some pieces will be moved to the Social Hall stage. Eight volunteers could get it finished in about 30 minutes. Then on Thursday, August 4 at 7:00 pm we need a team to return the furniture to its places. Please let June Eakin know if you can come to either or both!

Try Outdoor Worship!

Warner's long tradition of summertime outdoor worship services at the Temple Emanuel Meditation Garden continues in 2016 at 8:30 am in July and August. Bring a friend or neighbor and try a different worship experience this summer. Get closer to God in this beautiful outdoor setting. Hear the birds and feel the cool morning breezes. Music is provided by guitar and voices and holy communion is shared. In case of rain, the service will be held in the Warner library. Temple Emanuel is just down the street from Warner at 10101 Connecticut Avenue. Click here for directions.

Only Two More Chances This Summer!

Everyone is invited to drop in on the Summer Singers - Warner's pickup choir that will sing for Sunday services 4 times this summer, on July 31 and August 14. We will sing easy anthems that can be rehearsed at the 10:30 warm-up time each week. All are welcome - especially if you have not been a regular choir member! Come join the fun and fellowship!

The Summer Ringers will be providing music for the service on Sunday, August 28. There will be a one-hour prep rehearsal on Thursday, August 25 at 7:00 pm. New ringers (or even "window shoppers") are welcome to attend! It's easy to learn the basics of handbell ringing, and the Warner Bell Choir is always on the lookout for new hands to make the bells come alive! Regular bell rehearsals will be Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:00 pm beginning September 8.

Upcoming Events

Kirby will be out of the country from August 1-12. If there is a pastoral emergency during that time, please call the church office, 301-949-2900 or our Parish Associate, Rev. Laura Hollister, at 301-908-0991.

The Learning Center for Young Children (LCYC) is now accepting applications for enrollment in the 2016-17 school year. LCYC is our play-based co-operative preschool for children aged 18 months to 4 years. Forms are available in the brochure racks. For more information, visit our website or call the LCYC office.

We are taking a summer hiatus from assigned Fellowship Teams for most of July, all of August and the first part of September and rely on volunteers. If you are willing to help with the light receptions during this time, please sign up. The sign up sheet may be found on the Fellowship bulletin board outside the church office.

New cards in the pew rack describe ways to support Warner including electronic giving. Please feel free to place that card in the offering plate to signify your financial support of the mission of the church.

Show your love for the less fortunate of the area by bringing food for the "For I Was Hungry" barrel this Sunday. The MUM (Mid County United Ministries) pantry is in particular need of cereal, 1 lb. bags of rice and cans of black beans.

When is the time we need God's love the most? Of course, we need that love every second of every day. But there are times when His love is especially precious to us: when we are seriously ill, or we lose a loved one, or life becomes to confusing that we do not know where to turn, or when depression sets in. Our congregation has trained lay people, Stephen Ministers, who offer a ministry of Christian caring. To find out more about Stephen Ministry, please speak to Barbara Jaquette or Rev. Hill.
