When God's People Pray:  Six Sessions on the Transforming Power of Prayer, by Jim Cymbala  "Prayer can change lives and circumstances like nothing else can. What are the keys that unlock its power, that turn prayer from a mere activity into a vital link with God and all his resources? In this DVD, Jim Cymbala, pastor of Brooklyn Tabernacle, shows you and your small group truths about prayer that God has used to turn his own church from a tiny, struggling inner-city congregation into a vital, thriving community of believers who pray with passion, focus, and faith. Featuring teachings by Jim Cymbala and video interviews of ordinary people who have received extraordinary answers to their prayers, these six sessions will help you pray with new confidence. Session Topics:  God's Heart for Us, The Amazing Power of Prayer, Obedience in Prayer, The Word of God and Prayer, Why Prayer Matters, Creating a Prayer Ministry in Your Church."

Men's Class Room 115
Open Doors Class Are you interested in discussing hot news topics and current events from a Christian perspective?  Theologian Karl Barth once gave this advice to some young pupils of his: "Take your Bible in one hand and take your newspaper in the other, and read both.  But interpret newspapers from you Bible."  That advice is the foundation of this conversation group every Sunday in Room 114.  The starting point for the conversation each week will come from a new Internet resource, "The Wired Word."  Every Thursday, participants will receive an email that includes biblical commentary and thought-provoking questions related to a topic in the news that week.  This class will strive to be inviting for all, regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey.  If you don't have time to read the materials before class, pick up the materials on Sunday and join us for fellowship and lively discussions.  The class is open for anyone to "pop in" or pick up anytime.  There are plans to have an option for continued discussion onlne for those of you who are interested.  If you have any questions or would like further information, contact Jay Barr at (703) 455-8089 or jaybarr@live.com . 

Join us in an Exciting Ministry


Sandwich Ministry - Making sandwiches for the homeless while enjoying fellowship with other adults. John and Peggy Park, coordinators. Meets in the kitchen at 9:15am on Sunday. The 2007 Sandwich Ministry sponsor board has been posted at the top of the steps by the entry door. We provide over 500 sandwiches weekly to feed the homeless, either through the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter on Route 1 or Martha's Table. The regular church operating budget does not cover the cost of this mission project, so we depend on donations to fund the cost, approximately $300 a week. Any amount is welcome to help cover the costs of this important project. Please write "for sandwich ministry" on the offering envelope or your check. For contributions of $100 or more, sign up on the Sandwich Ministry Sponsor's Board and your dedication will be printed in the bulletin.

BOOK CLUB - The SUMC Book Club meets on the third Sunday every month at 4:00 p.m. in the Parlor for tea and conversation. A schedule of books is published in the newsletter and the bulletin. New readers are always welcome.

FEED MY SHEEP - SUMC is participating in a year long food drive to support local outreach efforts. Everyone is encouraged to bring at least one non-perishable food item to church each Sunday. Place these items in one of the Missions baskets labeled "Feed My Sheep" that are located throughout the Church.

DIET-TO-GO DRIVER NEEDED - The Diet-To-Go Company in Lorton donates surplus meals to the Eleanor Kennedy Shelter (5-8 boxes) twice a week. We need a driver for the 1st Wednesday of every month. If you have a vehicle and are interested in picking up and delivering, please contact John or Peggy Park at (703) 866-1505 or Jjparkk@aol.com

COMMUNION OUTSIDE OUR WALLS - Every Communion Sunday, communion kits are consecrated on our altar by our pastors then taken by our trained Lay Communion Visitors to those who are unable to attend our services. If you know someone who could benefit from this ministry, please contact one of the pastors, or Paul McMahan at (703) 569-1265.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN - Have you ever wondered why we have that red toolbox in the narthex? Your "small change" donations help support our youth ministry.
