I’m excited to invite you all to the first instance of our new format of our monthly prayer and share gatherings! We’re meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 26th at 7:30 at Casa Chirilagua- 3913 Elbert Ave, Alexandria, VA 22305. The closest metro is Pentagon City, though you’ll need a ride from there. When I send the reminder email in a couple weeks, I’ll give contact info for rides.
We’ll be discussing Money and Relational Giving, how we share and use our money within our specific communities/lives and how we can do well to learn how to share it amongst others. All are welcome! I look forward to a meaningful discussion with you all.
Peace and good will at the beginning of Advent!
Due to some schedule conflicts the next Prayer and Share meeting will be moved to the West Hyattsville House, on Monday the 14th at 7:30 pm. The address is 5608 31st Avenue, Hyattsville, MD 20782, and is just a 5 minute walk from the West Hyattsville Metro on the Green Line. They can pick you up if necessary- email Amy at amybcaruso@gmail.com.
I look forward to putting some feet on our brainstorming from last time. Hope to see just as many of you there!

Hey Y’all!
Get excited for our November gathering! Kate and Natalia have generously offered to host this month. We’ll be meeting on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:30. Note this is a different day of the week than the last couple months. Their address is: 1818 Minnesota Ave SE, Washington D.C. The Potomac Ave (blue/orange) and Anacostia (green) stops are the closest on the Metro. If you’ll need a ride, you can email Kate (I’ll send her info out in the reminder email a couple days ahead of time).
A couple things to please think about over the next couple weeks: part of our gathering this time will be to have a time for some brainstorming and visioning for DC Area Community of Communities and how we want to use/build on what we’ve done so far. I’ll send out some questions before the next meeting to help encourage you in your thinking, but please take some time to think about how you think of C of C.
Also, I’m currently trying to update our website (dc.newmonastics.org) and would appreciate some feedback. I’ve added a welcome page and have updated the communities page. Feel free to bring some ideas about the website either to the gathering or email me directly.
Lastly, it’d be great to see some new faces out at this meeting as we brainstorm for the year ahead. Even if you’ve never come before or aren’t living in a community, you’re very welcome to attend! We’d love to see you there.

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.
It’s been way too long!!!!
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.
