Our venue moves again, this time to Southeast DC! Come one, come all, to Fairlawn…hall.

(Okay, so poetry isn’t a strength of mine.)

Anyway, September’s DC Area Community of Communities meeting will NOT be held on the first Monday of the month (being as it’s a legally mandated holiday and all), and so we will be gathering at 7pm on Monday, September 10th. Much to talk about and share and lift up before God. It’ll be grand, and you’ll get to see my new piano, which at least I remain terribly excited about.

The address is 2106 Minnesota Ave SE — the only row house on the street with green shingles.

If you’re coming from Virginia, you’ll want to take I-395 N to the Southeast Freeway (also known as 1-295 S). Exit on Pennsylvania, where you’ll cross the Anacostia River. Just a couple blocks after the river, you turn right at L’Enfant Sq onto Minnesota Ave. It’s a bit of a tricky intersection in that there are multiple right — take the tight, rather than the wide, curve, but also try not to turn into the parking lot. (In terms of landmarks, at that corner there’s a bus stop and the Post Office.) We’re three blocks down on the block right past Orr Elementary School. Our house is on the right side of the street across from a grassy triangle. Parking is abundant and unzoned, so don’t worry on that front. Park wherever you please, though stopping right in the middle of the road may lead to some insurance problems for you.

For those driving from the city, assuming you can find Penn. Ave, pick up the directions there, and you’ll be good.

If you’re taking public transportation, the closest Metros are Anacostia (green line) and Potomac Ave (blue and orange). More than likely, if you’re metroing, you can simply call us and we’ll come and pick you up. But you can also take the B2 from either metro right to our block. Call me for specifics, particularly if you’re coming from Potomac Ave.

Half-price burgers beforehand at Crystal City Sports Pub at 5:30 as usual — call Matt for details on that (434.962.4927).

Call me with any questions, and let me know if you’re planning on coming. Hope to see on the 10th!

Existing new monastic communities host three to four day intensive Schools during which participants pray and work with the community, study the biblical and theological foundations of new monastic community, and reflect carefully on the community’s responses to the particular needs of its location and make-up. The DC Area communities plan to send a group to this event. If you are interested in going, e-mail info@dc.newmonastics.org.

Directions to Culpeper House

Some of Us will be meeting at the Crystal City Sports pub at around 5:30 for half-priced burgers ($5 gets you a burger, fries and includes tax and a 40% tip). Let me know if you plan to come.

Please call Matt Pritchard at 434-962-4927 if you need a ride from Metro. Crystal City is probably the best station to metro to.
