Family Night Potluck

Pastor Tim and David Anderson will be participating in a “Summer Collegium” at Virginia Theological Seminary, themed “a project in support of small congregations.”

One of the things that we all are being asked to do by the leadership of the upcoming Collegium is to hold a gathering where we explore a congregational timeline, looking over the memories that we hold as a community. Such an exercise can be quite helpful in remembering our stories, the values that hold us together, and the hopes that keep us going. We will have a Family Night potluck at 6:00 pm in Foster Hall on Saturday, June 12. The program exercise will follow, childcare will be available, and we expect to finish by 8:30 pm.

Questions to be thinking about include:

• What traditions or activities were favorites, and why?

• Who were the leaders and “characters” of the congregation?

• What do you recall about worship, and about the people who led it?

• What were the crises, and how did people pitch in?

• What were the disagreements in the church/community; how did they turn out?

• What was the congregation best known for, and how has that changed?

Please plan to participate if you can – it is a great way to remember as well as to learn!
