Rock the Block, August 4th
Our annual event for loving the families of King Elementary is happening next week. The Seed Sowers request your prayers, and they still need people to assist with giving away school supplies, serving pre-packaged food, and setting up games. Contact Melissa Byers at either mbyers@iachurch.org or (540) 809-5038 to volunteer.

What is on your heart with regard to Immanuel’s present and future? The Vestry and I want to hear from you on this next Listening Tour. The first two gatherings are August 5 and August 18. Click here to learn more and to sign up for these gatherings.
Drone Video Footage of Mission Outpost
Brian Byers is taking drone video footage of the construction of our Mission Outpost on Hoadly Road. Take a look at the two we’ve posted so far: Video #1 June 6, 2021 (before construction). Video #2, July 24, 2021. You are welcome see the progress yourself, giving thanks and praying as you drive by the property. Please do not go onto the property itself. We are not permitted to be on the site due to liability issues. We will schedule opportunities to visit the site together in the future.
Alpha in January 2022
Alpha – a series of conversations exploring Christianity – will begin in January 2022. This fall we will prepare for this opportunity through prayer, training, and planning. Please contact Kent Avery at 703-864-2913 or kpavgolfs@msn.com for more details.

The Vestry minutes for our June meeting are now available by contacting Barbara Finney, our Registrar, at blynn56@verizon.net. Barbara is on vacation for a couple of weeks, so be patient!
