Mercy and Justice survey
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 | Posted in General Info, OutreachOur Mercy and Justice team is conducting a survey over the next couple weeks in order to research and explore different ministry options that we might want to pursue as a church.
If you weren’t at church on Sunday February 8 to take the handwritten survey, we’ve put a version up online. It’s very short and should only take you a couple minutes.
Click here to take the survey.

Please be prayerful about contributing to this fund.
3. Central Virginia Food Bank Collection
For the next two weeks, we will be taking collections for the Central Virginia Food Bank. Please bring canned and/or dry goods to church with you! Some possible items include pasta, peanut butter, and canned meats.
4. Meals for the Worthingtons
Anne and Phillip Worthington are expecting a baby on January 28th! Jennifer Walker will be coordinating meals to be delivered to their home once the baby comes. If you are interested in helping, please contact Jennifer at 804-516-8278 or jennifer.p.walker [at] gmail.com. This is a wonderful opportunity to be of support to them as they adjust to having the baby at home, so please consider helping out.

Fan Feast
Friday, November 21st, 2008 | Posted in Events, OutreachHey everyone,
Here’s an addendum to the announcements for this week:
FAN Feast.
Tabernacle Baptist Church (at Grove and Meadow) is hosting a Thanksgiving Meal tomorrow, Saturday the 22nd, from 12-2. The meal is for friends, neighbors, the hungry, and the homeless from around the Fan. They’ve invited folks from FSC to join them in the relational ministry of sharing a meal and sharing conversation with the people who come. They don’t need help preparing or serving, but they’d love for us to join them in eating with the guests who show up. Volunteers can meet at the church at 11:30 to pray.
Loaves and Fishes, 9.21.08
Sunday, September 21st, 2008 | Posted in OutreachThis morning we had the opportunity to serve food to some of the area’s needy at our regular installment of Loaves and Fishes. Not only do we get to prepare a meal and give it out for free, but we get to do it while catching up with friends, meeting new people, laughing incessantly, and just feeling great in general.
