Calling All VBS Volunteers!

Please join us for an organizational meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Library. Susan will be handing out teacher books and schedules for this summer's VBS. Please RSVP to Susan. You can also contact Susan with any questions. We look forward to seeing everyone tonight!

From our Archives...

We found this photo this week and just have to share it. In the photo are some of our soon-to-be Class of 2014 high school graduates at VBS 2002, God's Great Gallery. From left to right are: Grace Gillen, Jack Flynn, Scott Waters, James Allen, friend, friend, Callie Hern, Anthony Bartolomei and our two awesome teachers Miss Lynetta and Miss Kristine.

Food Pantry

Our next distribution is on Thursday, June 19. The challenge this month is "19." We particularly need 19 cereal, peanut butter, jelly, and tuna.

So you've been wondering: what is the Food Pantry, how do we get and distribute the food, who are our customers, why is this an important mission for St. Anne's and "how can I help?" There will be a meeting on Sunday, June 22 in Room 1 at 11:45 a.m. after the 10:00 a.m. service. We'd love to talk to you about the food pantry, share our experiences, listen to your ideas and give you a chance to get informed and involved. Please attend if you are on our food pantry team, interested in joining or have questions about the program.

Sandwiches for the Shelter

Every day the Embry Rucker Community Shelter provides lunch packages for their youth and adult guests. At St. Anne's we gather together every 4-6 weeks for about 2 hours on a Saturday morning to make 120 lunches including sandwiches and other goodies. This mission is great for all ages: last month one of our 4-year-olds was putting condiment packages in bags; it's a great way to let children give back to their community. When you signup there'll also be food items that you can volunteer to bring. After the lunches are assembled in the Narthex at St. Anne's 1 or 2 cars will deliver them to the shelter where staff distributes them. This summer we'll be doing Sandwiches for the Shelter on July 5 (what a wonderful opportunity to serve during Independence Day weekend) and August 16 at 10:30 a.m. We'll start sign-up next week, in the interim if you have any questions contact Emily McPhie.

Philadelphia Mission Trip -- Items Needed

Help us help the kids! The Philadelphia Mission Trip team is seeking donated items to take with them to Philadelphia on June 28. They are looking for craft supplies and summertime fun items such as: new bathing suits (in child/youth sizes), basketballs, footballs, kick balls, Frisbees, jump ropes, sidewalk chalk, UNO card decks, stickers, plastic craft lacing (gimp), multi-colored yarn, jumbo crayons, markers, and colored paper. Target gift cards welcome. All donations are greatly appreciated. Please place your donations in the bin in the Narthex prior to June 26. Thank you for your support!

Grill Night!

Grill Night returns June 18 at 6:30 p.m. Bring something for the grill for you and/or your family and something to share; enjoy fellowship and the setting sun. It's a wonderful way to relax and chat after a long day. We are in need of a Grill Master to help with set up and minding the grill. This would be a great job for 2 or 3 people to rotate or to share. If you are interested, please contact Susan.

Mission Possible: July 14-18

There is still time to sign up for Mission Possible. What is Mission Possible? Mission Possible is a week-long local mission camp for rising 6th-8th graders. Each day the group will travel beyond the walls of our own congregation to share their gifts for ministry in service to our area neighbors. A sign-up sheet for participants and parent/adult volunteers is available in the Narthex. Please register no later than Sunday, June 15.

Parent/adult volunteers are needed for planning purposes, a variety of daily tasks during the week of camp, and to help chaperone the campers on their daily missions. There is no need to prepare any lessons or do any formal teaching; we just need your presence! You do NOT need to have children in this age group to volunteer. For more information, please contact Rev. Laura.

Can You Spare a Few Hours to Feed Hungry Kids?

So when summer arrives what happens to children who got free lunches during the school year? St. Anne's partners with Cornerstones and Fairfax County on a Summer Feeding Program to serve summer lunch at the Cedar Ridge Community Center to children who are entitled to free or reduced price lunches during the school year. The program operates Monday through Friday beginning June 30 and running through August. Volunteers are needed between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to set up, serve lunch and clean up at the Cedar Ridge Community Center at 1601 Becontree Road near the Forest Edge School. While a once a week commitment is optimal you can sign up for as many or as few days as you'd like. If you are interested, contact Carol Hurlburt (703-264-9054).

Coffee Hour

During the summer months we rely on our amazing volunteers to provide items for our coffee hours following Sunday services. If you would like to bring in a yummy item to share, please sign up in the Narthex or contact the Church Office. Thanks!

Godly Play Continues into June

Godly Play will be offered on the following Sundays in June during the 10:00 a.m. Sunday service for rising 1st graders and older: June 15 and 22. Questions? Please contact Rev. Laura.

Children's Chapel -- Summer 2014

Children's Chapel will be offered this summer during the 10:00 a.m. Sunday services in July and August. Children ages preschool through 5th grade are invited to participate. Volunteers are needed to lead Children's Chapel; no prior experience necessary! Two volunteers are needed each Sunday to teach the lesson and guide children in the craft. The lesson, craft idea and materials, and snack are provided each week. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up on the sheet in the narthex or contact Rev. Laura.
