Sunday Suppers, WorkCamp Deadline, and February Events

We hope you have all been weathering this snow storm well. We have taken the time to enjoy the small moments and put some of life's activities on pause. And just before the snow hit, we had a great turnout for the LIVG Evening of Prayer at George Mason. What an uplifting and faith-filled event.

But, now the snow is melting and we have lots of fun events and updates to share.  Don't forget to add our events to your calendar or, better yet, add our google calendar to make sure you never miss an event: tinyurl.com/gsYMcal

HS Youth Group Sunday Suppers

A new year is well underway and we are looking forward to our weekly Sunday evening youth group meetings. We had a successful Fall with many generous donations for Sunday Supper and now we need more volunteers ​to bring/buy a meal. Please visit the SignUp Genius link and signup to bring a dinner. This is a great new tradition that many of our teens enjoy and look forward to, but we cannot continue without the help of our parents and Parish families. Questions? Contact Miguel miguel@gs-cc.org
