It is a lovely community that started last Fall when some former year-long volunteers and others moved in together looking to extend their experience of community. (You may have met David and Janelle when Cornerstone hosted). Come meet them for yourself and see other new and familiar faces. Here are the details:

Who: Everyone is welcome who has even the slightest interest in community.

What: Prayer and Share = Hang out + tell what’s happening with you/community + Pray + Hang out some more

When: Wednesday Feb. 11 at 7:30pm (usually goes to 9 or 9:30 but come when you can and go when you must)

Where: Quebec House
729 Quebec Place, NW
Washington, DC 20010

How: Georgia Ave/Petworth Metro stop is just 2 blocks away – real close. If you need help with directions call me, David at (714) 474-9986.

Why: We meet and pray because we need all the help we can get!

There’s street parking, but it’s at a premium, so carpool if possible. If you would like to metro, one of us will pick you up at the Braddock Road station (call 434-962-4927 for a ride). If you’re planning to metro, shoot me an e-mail and let me know.

We’ve been off our rhythm for the last few months, so it will be good to get back into it.

You don’t have to be living in community to come to the prayer and share—anyone interested in community is welcome. Please spread the word to anyone you think would be interested.

We’ll be having a party the evening of Saturday, December 20th at 6pm  in the Lower Level of Fairlington Presbyterian (3846 King St, Alexandria, VA).  Bring heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks (no alcohol) to share with everyone.

It will be a great way for us to get to hang out together—perhaps they’ll even be some dancing, or a hootenanny, suggestions are welcome.

Everyone is interested in intentional Christian community is welcome, whether or not they’ve been a part of our gatherings before or if they are currently a part of an intentional Christian community.
