The Help the Homeless meet-up group usually meets on the last Saturday of the month in Wester Hall. Folks from all over the NOVA/DC area put together backpacks containing a hygiene kit, paper towels, plastic container, mouthwash, a sack lunch, and a Bible. These backpacks are taken to DC and parts of Fairfax County to distribute directly to the homeless.

The Grace Tutoring Program has been an active part of our life continuously since 1990. The program has helped children from Crestwood and Garfield Elementary Schools by developing a caring relationship between students and church volunteers. Each student meets with the same volunteer, who becomes a special friend and homework helper for one hour every Monday evening, from October through May. The program needs tutors and substitute tutors for each school year. Coordinator: Mary Hawkins.

All are welcome to join us for a short neighborhood walk (1 mile +/-) as we express our concern for the suffering in Palestine and Israel demonstrate our enacted prayers for a just and lasting peace. These walks will continue on the 4th Sunday of the month, beginning roughly 15-30 minutes before sunset.
