A reminder that a number of people in this group are also participating in the ministry to City Gate, a ministry to children and families in Southeast DC. (see photo featured here) Volunteers meet at Vienna Baptist one Saturday a month to carpool downtown - leave at 10, back by1:00. The next time will be February 18. Also volunteer slots are still available for next week's work at the hypothermia shelter sponsored by FACETS, the week of January 29. Contact Ben Wagener for information about both opportunities for service. He's at bwagener@vbc-va.org
Next time we'll be continuing our conversation about the various "I am" statements by Jesus in the gospel of John -- last time it was "I am the bread of life." Next time "I am the good shepherd." I think we've learned a lot by unpacking some of this familiar language together so I'm looking forward to this. In the commentary some of you have (and I have more copies), it's chapter 6, on John 10: 1-18. (This part of the gospel of John contains what may be my favorite single sentence from the gospels. See if you can guess which line it is! )
Notice that we'll be meeting on Tuesdays in February, and then shifting back to Mondays in March. Here are the dates, with info on who is cooking when:
TUESDAY 2/7: Kathy
