		<description><![CDATA[Through the year, we have found ways to lift up prayer as an integral part of the Christian faith. Prayer connects us to God and to one another in special and meaningful ways. One of the most celebrated and known prayers is The Lord’s Prayer, a prayer that was given to us by Jesus. Do we really contemplate the magnitude of what we say? Do we allow the words of The Lord’s Prayer to shape our actions? Dr. Gerde and Rev. Snow will be offering a sermon series on The Lord’s Prayer from January 15th through February 19th. We hope you will make a point to join us in worship on these Sundays to journey together into the words and concepts from this beloved prayer of the church.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our week of sheltering this year is January 29 to February 5, 2012. Volunteers are needed! Any adult (age 18 or older) is welcome to help so tell your neighbors, friends and Sunday School classmates. We will need meals provided each evening, breakfast supplies, and snacks for the guests to enjoy in the evening and for packed lunches. We are using the on line sign up again this year  at www.SignUpGenius.com/go/fairfax8 and the password is “Winter”. You will be able to sign up for any of the volunteer positions and the evening meal sponsorships. The web site was great last year because you could see where the openings were, who you were serving with, and receive a reminder email prior to your night of responsibility. Children can participate by collecting materials for the guests or preparing snacks, but they are not permitted to serve when the guests are present. Donations are also needed and are listed on our website, which may be a way for families to participate together. We anticipate needing:   40+ $5 cards to McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts or Subway (to be used on Sunday when the Lamb Center is closed)   Donations for bus passes ($15 per pass per week)   New adult undergarments for men and women; new socks; and gently used clothing or shoes.   As we get closer to our week, we will ask for food donations (snacks, fresh fruit, brown bag lunch supplies, breakfast casseroles). FACETS is also collecting $25 gift cards to Target, Kohls, Walmart, or Payless Shoes to help their clients who are in case management and actively looking for work or who are recently placed in housing.]]></description>
